Thread: 10 players i think get offer sheets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzad96</b></div><div>I don't think most people understand how offer sheets work. First the player would actually have to sign it and accept the contract and the possibility of going to whatever team offered the offer sheet. After that IF the player signed one the team has the chance to match the offer. There's a reason this stuff never happens. Maybe 3 of those guys actually receive an offer sheet. and MAYBE MAX 1 actually signs it, and even then their team likely just matches it anyways. All this offer sheet talk is ridiculous. Last time one happened was like 5 years ago. This is dumb.</div></div>

Technically, the first step is that the player doesn't sign a qualifying offer. The deadline for QO's is draft day IIRC, so that means that the player would have to go through most of June with no progress on a deal. Seeing as the guys at risk of being-offer sheeted are probably the most important guys to lock down, I'd expect the teams to be smart enough to get the deals done before the OS possibility even arrives. The timing alone will reduce the total number of offer sheet possibilities pretty drastically, the way I see it.

And if the counter-example is Nylander, I absolutely believe that someone should have offer-sheeted him around the time when training camp started. Would TOR match 7.5 x 5? Maybe, but he was easily worth the 1st, 2nd, 3rd compensatory picks at that contract.
