Love them to offer sheet Theodore! Wanted Theodore in 2013 draft but we got Gauthier.Offer sheets grow on trees these days.
All the remaining RFAs will be 'offer sheeted'.
By which team?
Wait for it...
Why TOR? Because they have the most money and the longest tradition of trading 1st round picks.
A record
8 x 1st round picks
4 x 2nd round picks
4 x 3rd round picks
Speculation: Will any of the remaining RFAs get offer sheeted?

- Start date
I’m almost sure nobody who has been offer sheeted hasn’t signed it. If someone has I certainly don’t remember it and it certainly hasn’t occurred since 1996 or 97 when I started following the NHL closely
Again, I provided a real example of an offer sheet affecting a future trade going down. It's not just the GMs, but also the owners. David Poile was willing to deal with Philadelphia after the Weber offer sheet, but Nashville's owner apparently wasn't.
It's not just the GMs. We've heard stories over the years about owners holding long grudges and they get the final say over approving trades.
Hard to find an archived article from October 2006, but Brian Gionta had to wait all summer to sign with the Devils since we were over the cap. At some point, he mentioned that his agent was given overtures about an offer sheet but Gionta declined.
Stuff like that would happen behind the scenes and usually wouldn't become public. A Gionta offer sheet at that point was plausible considering the Devils cap situation.
I'd imagine most GMs just wouldn't want to go through the effort of trying to sign a guy to an offer sheet if they knew the original team had plenty of cap room to match.
It seems ill advised to not sign it unless you are being courted by a very bad team. The bottom line is at age 24-26 you just don’t know what may happen. If someone comes along offering a 6-7 year deal you’re pretty dumb if you don’t accept it barring it being a team like today’s Arizona or Islanders where you’re entering an uncertain situation. And remember this rarely happens to elite players. It’s usually middling or slightly below average players who aren’t risking anything by taking their free agency to 30 or 32

The last time these two teams exchanged 2 first-round picks to one another it was quite costly.
Boston sending Kessel to Toronto for what ended up being Tyler Seguin and Dougie Hamilton.

We might have pissed it away but at least we won a Stanley Cup, I'm not to upset about Seguin or Hamilton, just look at what Boston had now Pastrnak, McAvoy, DeBrusk, Carlo, Donato, and Heinen

No they wouldn’t because that means they’d offer sheet him over 10 million. I can see Montreal going 8 million per though, 1st, 2nd, 3rd
And how exactly does that change anything with regard to Toronto ?

We don't have to be reminded by it from Boston fans anymore. I believe their chant last year was..'we want the cup' lol

I think, and I mean I THINK, what this means is, if you have no intention of signing, you would never be extended an OS.
It's still a contract. To be negotiated between 2 sides. So you wouldn't go through all that hassle to either extend one to be declined or negotiate one you have no intention of signing.

Normally, I'd suggest TO send a retaliatory offer-sheet to them....but frankly there is no one in their system that's worth it.
That means that none of the teams that are bottom feeders on this list are going to offersheet anyone major because they could be giving up Jack Hughes as part of the comensation package.Offer sheet Nylander

It would have to be a contender... with enough money under the cap to overpay an rfa enough that his home team doesn’t match. Maybe Vegas? I don’t think it happens this year (like most years) but they would be the ones I could see as the least unlikely candidates.
The only time an offer sheet makes sense is if a GM feels that particular player is the missing piece for a good cup run.
Rebuilding teams should covet picks.
I don’t see any teams offer sheeting Nylander, or anyone really as this practise is, unfortunately, out of favour with GMs.

Why would anyone offer sheet Nylander 8M+? Short term (1 year) $7M+ causes all the same headaches without the huge compensation risk. Nylander for one year at $7-$7.5M is a nightmare for Toronto, since not only is Nylander's qualifying offer boosted, but Nylander, Marner and Matthews all need to renegotiate at the same time.

Ryan O'Reilly signed an offer sheet with Calgary on Feb 28th, 2013, but that was a product of the lockout and Feaster's stupidity.
