I was laughed at on this board just about a year ago when I suggested that trade could come into play in a negative way this offseason.

Welcome aboard.

Adam's should trade to get it back....would a signed Larsson do it?

Could you really see the Isles letting Barzal walk ?

Even if he did sign the offer sheet, it wouldn’t happen.

At least not having the 3rd gives Adams a scapegoat.

What sorta bothers me is that all too often, people look at offer sheets like you're just buying a house. Like hey, I have this money, why don't I spend it on this house?

Well, see, it's much more complicated than that. That owner wants that house. Sure, he'll sell it to you, but you need to pay way more than it's worth. Let's say you have the cash in hand to pay for a year's mortgage, but all the sudden, you're way over budget, and now you're house poor. The seller is smiling and skipping to the bank with all his money.

This is how 99% of RFAs are viewed. You need to pay with assets and an outrageous salary. Double whammie. When you can simply pay with similar or lower assets and a lower salary with a trade.

Then you have dog and pony bullpoop like the Habs and Aho. Buyer A (Habs) submits a low bid so buyer B (Canes) can be like ok let's get rid of this guy and buy this house.

Offer Sheets is just Santa Claus for adults.

Which I’m perfectly ok with because that meant not losing Eichel. Also means the odds of Dahlin getting offer sheeted are slim to none.

Not only offer sheeted, but accepted by Buffalo as well. It just won't happen.

You wanna make Offer Sheets a reality? Take away the pick compensation. All of it. Take it away. Give the team losing the player a compensatory pick that's 1 round lower than the player was drafted from. Or a 7th for a UDFA.

Watch the carnage.

This will completely eliminate bridge contracts. The entire contract system will be flipped on it's (frank)ing head and it will be anarchy.

If you're talking to the NHL, the answer is no.

No, they most certainly do not. All it does is escalate salaries at a younger age. That's why they won't ever really be a thing

Oh absolutely. My suggestion has 0% chance of happening. Not 1 in 1,000,000. Zero.

As long as a hard cap is in place, that is.

I think when Detroit was hardballing AA, the Sabres (or anyone) could have sheeted him for a 3rd. If they're not even willing to do that, then you know no one has any interest
