How are Gaudreau and Kucherov still RFA? Do Calgary and Tampa have exclusive rights? I would think one team would try an aggresive offer sheet.

Some impressive RFA's still not signed.
Gaudreau
Kucherov
Lindholm
Trouba
Rakell
Rieder
Wouldn't be surprised if some team goes for an offer sheet as TB and the Ducks are in a tough spot cap wise but at the same time you just don't see offer sheets very often.

I'd still try and do the Pacioretty for Fowler + Rakell deal, then DD/Emelin to anywhere (even if we have to add a late pick/retain)
Radulov-Galchenyuk-Gallagher
Lehkonen-Plekanec-Rakell
Carr/Ghetto/Hudon-McCarron-Shaw
lots of potential line combinations
Fowler-Weber (Captain)
Beaulieu-Petry
Markov-Sergachev (9 games then Pateryn if he's not ready, playing with Markov would be ideal IMO)

Second most interesting man in the world.
You risk losing one of your top 4 D to Las Vegas unless you are willing protect only 4 forwards along with 4D, instead of 7F and 3D. A year later, your trade could become Pacioretty for Rakell. Rakell is not in the same stratosphere as Pacioretty.

Patches going no where.
DD is MT's mini mee, sadly going no where.
MB would have to move money to get a guy in return, tough to do

Only issue with giving an offer-sheet is that next summer, we have our own high-profile RFA to sign, who is also going to want big money... By giving Gaudreau/Kucherov an offer-sheet, we may not have the cap space to re-sign Galchenyuk, and it will also create bad blood with Tampa/Calgary who may try to pry Galchenyuk away with a massive offer-sheet of their own.
I think someone in the back will be traded.. I'm still thinkin' Sergachev is more talented than Beaulieu and Emelin. If I'm Marc Bergevin .. I'm ready to trade Sven Andrighetto, Alexei Emelin and one or two good pick for 2nd line LW.. or looking for Dwight King maybe or Tanner Pearson.

King with McCarron and Shaw on a third line would be great !!!!
I don't think so. They tried very hard to get rid of him during the Summer. It might happen sooner rather than later IF one of the kids at centre can really replace him full time.
Why would SJ trade Vlasik ? He's the cornerstone of their D. + he is not very offensive minded.

This. Ultimately, a GM needs to do what is best for his team and if offer sheeting is the way to go, they will regardless of potential repercussions. That said, you don't see this often and then there is this:

Anyhow, as for Gaudreau there is no offer sheet because he hasn't played 3 seasons:

We have a LOT of young prospects who we won't be able to fit in and we have a lot of picks to dangle.
With 2 or 3 holes to fill before we can be considered a legit contender, I'd be surprised if we didn't make at least 2 trades, possibly 3 to fill in spots. 1 top 4 D, 1 top 6 LW and possibly a 2nd or 3rd line centre.

The word is they've been trying to trade him since Christmas but can't find a taker for a $3.5MM dwarf who shouldn't be in the NHL. Weird they can't get rid of him, I know!

Not illogical. But Gaudreau isn't eligible for an offer sheet. Kucherov, however, is. I'd offer sheet Kucherov. Yzerman will be way too busy with next year'a free agents to go hard after Galchenyuk in a move for vengeance. He's got Johnson, Drouin, Palat, Bishop, and Filpula to worry about. If Yzerman matches for Kucherov, you corner him a bit with next year's crop of FA's and you can pry one away next off season.
Also, no one would be able to go hard after Galchenyuk if MB signs him during the year.
And finally, I'm sure Bergevin is game for offer sheeting. There was a report that said he was preparing to offer sheet Brandon Saad last off-season because he knew Chicago was too tight against the cap to match. However, before MB could make his move, Chicago traded him to Columbus. If that is true, that tells me Bergevin is game to do anything and everything.

Pierre Mcguire says Ducks are in trade talks with an Eastern Conference team to make a move in order to free up cap space to sign their RFA's.
Only problem is we'll need to make another trade to fit Fowler's salary. Also, I don't think Ghetto and Carr are the prospects Anaheim would want as a starting point.

High Tech Low-Life.
I would like Fowler, but the price would have to perfect.
We would also have to dump Emelin somewhere. No way we can have that 4.1m cap hit and also acquire Fowler for just futures.
Fowler-Weber
Beaulieu-Petry
Markov-Pateryn
Redmond/Barberio
That would be nice.

we can't get fowler without giving away one of Weber, Beaulieu or Petry (can only protect 3 D for expansion draft)
