You can't offer him a ridiculous contract because you have to re-up him when the time comes and that's just too much. The other option is to sit down with whoever the GM of the bruins is and lay things out for them: we could sign Hamilton to an offer sheet or we could just trade for him OR we sign him to an offer sheet and you're forced to match it and then in cap trouble and have to deal some players away so why not just deal us those players without signing Hamilton to a more expensive contract than you think you have to sign him to.
Now is the time to take advantage of teams in cap trouble, especially ones with good RFA's
