This shouldn't even be a discussion. Offer sheets are not a good idea for a team that is picking top 5 this year, and likely will be again next year.
Don't get me wrong, I would DEFINITELY prefer them to target him with assets that don't include any first round picks if they feel they really want him, because I understand the excitement of high drafting.

However, why shouldn't there at least be a discussion about it... Isn't that the point of making a thread about it? I still think there's enough reason to discuss it when the possibility of management doing it is very real. That said, even in the case that the Flames do offer, the last offer sheet to be accepted was in 2007 and before that it was in 1997.
