I would rather keep the picks!

Would you trade your 7th overall selection for Willy and you can keep 2 other picks?

No thanks to trading 7th overall alone for just nylander. Dipietro and a 1st is better than hanifan. Lind is a top prospect so no thanks to trading him for a bust and a 6th.

You should take a look at the CBA rules on Offer Sheets and read them more carefully. In the event that you intended to offer William Nylander $7 million AAV over 8 years (and I believe that is above the max term for an offer sheet), you would divide that total, which in your offer would come to $56 million, which you would then divide by 5 years, as per the CBA rules. At a total of $11.2 million per year under these rules, you would need to surrender 4 unprotected 1st round draft picks.

So, you are saying the Canucks can't spend 7m on another good player, without giving 4 first rounders. Don't think Nylander accepts the offer. which is a( maximum of seven years), heck the Leafs might just take the picks, two are probably lottery picks and they spend 7 m on another players

Yeah based on this offer sheet the leafs would be getting 4 1st round picks... you divide the full amount of the contract (in this scenario 7x7=$49M since you cant offer 8 years) and then divide by 5 years not 7 because of the CBA rules to get the comp number so $49M÷5= $9.8M which I believe is 4 1st round picks (from 2019-2023)

Not the 7th overall because it would be in 2019 (cant offer sheet until July 1st) but what he has here is also not just 1 1st round would actually cost the canucks 4 1sts.

No.

Offer sheet William Nylader wirh what you proposed won't work. You can't go beyond 7 years in term. If you did 7 years at $7,000,000 the compensation would be 1st round pick in 2019, 2nd rould pick in 2019, 3rd round pick pick in 2019 and a 1st round pick in 2020.

This can't happen because the Canucks don't own their own 3rd in 2019

Sure go for it and kill the Canucks future.

The compensation would be two 1sts (2019 and 2020) a 2nd and 3rd both in 2019. The length of contract can't go past 7 years. Also the Canucka don't have their own 3rd in 2019

Can people freaking learn the offer sheet rules before doing these. So annoying.

They do own their 3rd in 2019 though. But thanks for clearing up the compensation level I wasn't sure what the compensation levels for this year were. Last year 4 1sts was 9.7M so I just went based off of that

leafs match

It is my understanding as to how an offer sheet works is that the new team makes the offer (as calculated under the CBA rules, which some people don't seem to get), and the former team has a specified period of time to match the offer. I do not believe the player has a say in accepting or rejecting or the offer, since that would, in essence, make him basically a UFA. I would agree though that for that price, the Leafs might be prepared to take 4 uncondtional first round draft picks from the Canucks.

Incorrect on a few notes. Here's how it works. It's just for RFAs. In this case, Nylander has negotiated with Vancouver. Vancouver makes him a formal offer. The player does not have to sign it. If he doesn't sign, he is still a Leaf RFA and can still seek another team with NHL and the Leafs still hold his rights and the Leafs and Nylander still have the all the rights/obligations as a RFA.
He could play in Europe.
If the player signs the offer sheet, the Leafs would have 7 days to match it and then the Leafs take the contract. It gives the Leafs and Vancouver time make a trade and instead of the picks the two teams agree to a trade.....for example Horvat for Nylander.
Or if the Leafs let the 7 days expire and don't match the contract offer, the Leafs get the compensatory picks.

Hypothetically...if it was $7m x 5yrs and the compensation was a 1-2-3, I think the Leafs would match it.

At $7m x 7yrs, you're looking at 2 firsts a second and a 3rd. At that point I'd think the Leafs take the picks and probably turn them into help on the blue line.

I don't think any team would offer sheet an RFA where the compensation is 4 firsts unless you're talking about a generational player...in which case I'd imagine the original team matches.

The part about Vancouver negotiating a deal with Nylander would not be correct. As an RFA, he would not have any rights, whatsoever, to negotiate anything with any other team. Perhaps there is so informal work done between the team and agent, but this is not something the Leafs would give permission to any other team to do, and in fact doing so, I am pretty sure, would be considered tampering.

No, as an RFA he can negotiate with other teams. Doesn't mean any team are interested in negotiating though as they know the Leafs have the final say whether the deal goes through or not. If you're a team with 8m spend you may not want that time pursing a RFA, instead pursue a UFA, because of short time span to make a deal. The Leafs have to make him qualifying offer before. June 20 (or around there) to retain their rights. In Trouba case this he is arbitration eligible so there is process for those type for RFAs to get a an year deal made.
I think you see why there are few players that are presented offer sheets or player that would even sign presented offer sheets. It's complicated for all parties to be satisfied and the time line of when everything might come together is short, especially when teams might be pursing other players.

I did some exploration and you are 100% correct, @Palhal. The RFA negotiation window is June 26th for this offseason for other teams to approach any RFA, once qualified, about a possible offer sheet. Therefore, it would be considered tampering prior to June 26th.
