Does it kill it?

Uh, no. If you want to offer sheet player A, someone saying they'll match it isn't a deterrant. What is the club supposed to say... "Please offer sheet him, we won't match any offer. He's all yours," or "well, we will only match your offer up to a ceetain dollar amount."

Really?

Although legal, when it has the potential to do the kind of damage ti a franchise as this does it is not good for hockey as a whole.

If Nashville doesn't match the Flyers are scarey.

Montreal offer sheet someone?

Thats laughable ek, Montreal barely have the stones to pull off major trades let alone offer sheets. They dont do business that way, simple as that.

Keep dreaming though.

Kane is one guy who isn't going anywhere.

I could see Benn move before I see Kane move. The Jets need him up front to set the tone.

They really lack high end skill and he's well on his way to establishing that skill set....well on his way.

I say we should abolish the salary cap system. It's clearly not working...

See what Ed Snider has started....riled up many other owners for sure. Just like the rest of the world. No respect at all for one another, anymore.

I love the idea of offer sheets sure it will suck having Hall and Ebs both getting tagged next season but look at it this way why would u as a gm let your star players get to being RFA. Sign them to extensions before they get to the point all u have to do is ask do u wanna play here or somewhere else?

I don't think the Hawks have the picks to offer sheet anyone.

If Stan Bowman doesn't have the balls to pull the trigger on a regular trade, how can he have the balls to screw Kevin Cheveldayoff (a former co-worker) with an offer sheet for Evander Kane?

The best guy to offer sheet is Voracek. The Flyers are not in a position to respond because of the outstanding offer to Weber.
