The problem with offer sheets is that you have to overpay AND you have to give up compensation.
Certainly, the Flames are in a position where they can afford to overpay. The question is: what would the compensation be?
Keep two things in mind: the players we would be getting in the draft (or foregoing) are FREE. In other words, we are going to get better. Period. So explain why we would take the risk.
Also, while an argument can certainly be made that the Flames might be better this year, it is by no means a certainty. In fact, I think it is unlikely.
What if Giordano were injured for an extended period of time? Or Ramo? Or even Hudler?
If the Flames ended up drafting top 3 in what could become the strongest draft ever, but gave up that pick for an offer sheet, my head would explode.

never said that one time let alone many...never mentioned Johansen even one time. I said consider trading the pick if the return is massive. I highly doubt the Flames will be drafting top 3. Considering they never have in franchise history I think its a pretty safe bet. Not to mention the usual suspects are gonna be tanking hard, more than ever.
lol 2 of the 3 guys you mentioned were injured for long stretches this season
