Still a lottery team in 2025 with Byfield. Would be a good deal for the Habs but LA likely matches

Spending 4.5 million on a 3C is a real bad use of cap for a team that's going to be cap strapped, the value is fair but we aren't a fit for Dvorak.

Not sure on Harris's cap hit but if it's under 2 million I can see us being interested in him

Get to the 4 1sts section and LAK may consider not matching

Why do you think the Kings won't match that?

This will be like when Montreal offer sheeted Aho, and Dundon was like "Hey thanks for that!"

Probably the 2x 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Depending on which range you want. 9mill prob gets them to take the picks. They still need to sign Clarke in a few years.

Issue with offer sheets, someone will try it back on you, or it will burn a bridge with a trading partner. Might be better to just offer the picks instead offer sheeting the player.

Nope. Byfield is the LAST guy you move in a cap crunch. You don’t get rid of your most valuable asset.

Would Montreal let a 9x4 offer sheet let Slaf walk if they were in a cap crunch? Nope. You don’t let your most valuable asset go over cap reasons

LA matches pretty much anything on Byfield I think. Not an LA fan but from what I understand he was basically their best forward last year

Dvorak, and Harris are not needed in Edmonton. We have too many LHD as it is with Nurse, Ekholm, Kulak, Broberg. Not sure why we would bring another one. Dvorak makes 4.5M in cap, and is a pretty mediocre forward. That would be a waste of money, and very poor cap management imo. We have McLeod that we will put there, possibly even Henrique if we do choose to give him a resign.
