Something that I’ve been thinking about is offer sheets. Leafs own their own 2nd next year so in theory the Leafs could offer sheet someone @2.3-4.6 million. Teams like Anaheim could be a target for this.

What’s your thoughts?

Who are your targets you're thinking about?

Anaheim has a lot of cap space, and don't have to pay their younger guys yet.

I like the thought of offer sheets but you have
to target teams that are hard up against the cap. Remember 2 years ago Edmonton was up against it (as they are again). Bowman in all his wisdom decided in August he wanted to keep $10 million for possible cap space for the trade deadline. So he let St. Louis offer sheet Both Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg and got a 2nd and a 3rd round pick in total compensation. People say it ranks as one of the worst moves in Edmonton's history. Holloway is now close to a point a game player who is very physical as well.

Broberg is ranked in the 98 percentile for overall speed in the NHL and is imbedded in the top 10 fastest dmen but also crazy Goid defensively. Both are still only going to be 25 heading into this season. Funny the 2 exact kind of players Edmonton was trying to get the last 2 years. They already had. The lost them both on very affordable offer sheets. Broberg 4.58 Holloway 2.29. So yeah you can get a deal by lower base offer sheets.

I think it all depends on what happens with Matthews, Nylander and probably Rielly. If any/all are moved and solid players/prospects are the return, there may be no need to give up a pick in order to get a young player.

Utah is a bit tight on the cap and Beaudoin will probably crack the lineup so might be worth a 2nd round pick for Barrett Hayton. He would be a good third line pickup.

We could take a run at Mavrik Bourque and offer right to the max that we could do with our 2nd round compensation. Dallas would have a extremely tough time to match if they sign Robertson. That brings us a very good young centreman.
