Speculation: Offer sheets

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

This thread is about Detroit players.

Does anyone think they would sign one?

Edit: who would target Detroit?

[Henkka]

Nah.

We should target somebody else.

 

[Hammettf2b]

The only players worth matching is Mantha, Bert, and Fabbri. Do I think other teams send and offer sheet (assuming the player agrees and signs)? Not likely as Detroit would match unless it was something ridiculous.

 

[DInTheB]

Montreal might try to get Mantha. That’s all I could see.

 

[Retire91]

I don't think there is any players left we wouldn't match unless we are talking max cap and term which won't happen. If any offer sheets happen it would be a pain but also flattering.

 

[Henkka]

Hope someone makes an offer-sheer for Perlini and Erne.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

What's the amount that you let Mantha go?

 

[golffuul]

What's the amount that you let Mantha go?

Probably up to the Aho threshold. If a team wants lose more than that, than take em.

 

[Mister Ed]

8.425M AAV for Aho, BTW.

 

[ZDH]

Would gladly lose Mantha to a steep offer sheet

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Nah.

We should target somebody else.

We should NOT target someone else.

 

[Gniwder]

We should NOT target someone else.

Yup, considering that our first rounders are probably gonna be lottery picks the next couple of years, signing offer sheets would be a bad idea....

 

[ThankGord]

None of our players are worth the amount of money it would take for us not to match any offer sheet.

8.425M AAV for Aho, BTW.

I was about to scoff at that number, then I looked at his stats the past couple seasons. I hope Mantha turns into that type of player.

I'd let Mantha walk if the number was close to 6.5mil, because he hasn't done enough to earn it. At 6mil, I'd most likely match.

So at $6M - which feels about right for Mantha at this point - would net a 1st and a 3rd;

$6.5M - 1st, 2nd, and 3rd

This point for sure

 

[nhlisawesome]

we gotta be really careful about Mantha's contract. Guy cannot stay healthy and is horribly inconsistent

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Would gladly lose Mantha to a steep offer sheet

I think this is best case scenario.

 

[Oddbob]

No one from any team signs and moves with an offer sheet!

I don't watch a lot of games, but don't remember his inconsistency

 

[lilidk]

I think Mantha 6x6, Bertuzzi 6x 4

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I think Mantha 6x6, Bertuzzi 6x 4

Looks about right for both.

Yeah they're pretty rare, Plus Detroit has the most cap space of any team going into this summer. Even if the cap stays at $84 million plus with Z on LTIR that gives us close to $44 million to spend. Unless a GM really goes high say on Mantha. I can't see Yzerman not matching.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Not sure I let Mantha go for a first, second and third.

I sort of half expect him to be traded to Montreal at the draft anyway, but not quite sure what the return will be. I guess we will see how contract talks go.

It would be unwise to target Detroit.

I don't think we can target another team with our rebuild this uncertain. Though a good evening on April 9th and Krug walking into free agency might get me thinking on dropping a more aggressive stance, I still don't think we would be there but there would need to be a lot of sliding pieces. We would likely need to unload Nielsen's contract and buyout Abdelkader while signing a goalie like Lehner, landing Krug and getting Lafreniere in the draft lottery, it is a stupid amount of things needing to happen for me to believe we consider an offer-sheet. I don't think it is something Yzerman is considering at all, we are too bad to be in that business right now.

But offer sheet is not common in NHL at all. The last time it happened it was Fedorov. And even then the Canes waited for a long time before doing it. As I have understood it GMs consider it a very ungentlemanly move.

Why do you think Mantha to Montreal?
