Think VAN matches that. Also, think you’re setting yourself up to lose Necas with this move if the contract wasn’t matched.

Canucks match

Vancouver matches quickly.

As for the Tarasenko trade, the player value is great, but not enough that Army will retain 50%. Should he? With Nino's hit coming back, no. He really couldn;t afford it even if he wanted to.

No Benning waits to the last minute to screw any plan B waddell might have

Doubt Petty signs that. I would expect any offer sheet he might sign to be well north of $10 mil

Canes fans didn’t think Aho would sign a deal either. I haven’t kept up with negotiations between VAN and the player, but if he wants 5 years, offer sheet is the way to go. That’s what Aho did, easy match, and he got what he wanted.

Still doubt it happens, especially doubt it would be the canes, but never say never.

As of right now, there are very few teams that could afford do fire an offer sheet Petey’s way that is “well north of 10 mil.” If anyone is offer sheeted a contract with their ideal term and 10 mil in dollars, who is not going to sign that? There is very few be teams who would be willing to dump 4 1st round picks just to possibly get Petey. No way Petey is making more than 11 mil on his next contract. VAN can’t afford to keep him at 11 mil with other big contracts are coming. And there isn’t a team that will be willing to sacrifice that much cap space and those draft picks for Petey. The only team that would be remotely likely to do that would maybe be SEA, but they need their next few first round draft picks. And if the offer sheet is anything below 11 mil it will be matched.
