The problem with offer sheets on players of Drasaitl's calibre of player is it takes an almost perfect scenario for a team to even offer one. All of the following need to happen

1. You have to either be a good team or an up coming team that is a lock for the playoffs adding a guy like Dra
2. You have to have enough cap space or the flexibility to create enough space if you get the player
3. You can't put your self in a similar cap situation as the Oilers are within the next 2-3 years at minimum
4. The player needs to want to sign with your team

For me their maybe be a few teams that have the space, have a farm full of good prospects and are on the rise or a team good enough that has some cap space. I do think the Flames would be in this group. Maybe Nashville, San Jose, Dallas, Buffalo, Winnipeg, Toronto or Carolina.

All those teams could fit him in with some tweaks to their roster but half of them wouldn't be overly appealing to Dra to leave Edmonton. Best bets would be San Jose, Toronto or Nashville. Oilers would match anything they offer too
