Honest question, has a team that has used the offer sheet route in recent times gone on to have substantial success as a result of that offer sheet?
In recent times, Edmonton has offer sheeted twice, Philadelphia twice, Vancouver, St Louis (in retaliation for Vancouver's offer sheet), San Jose and us have done it once.
Only once has it worked out (Penner) and we know who came out on top on that one.
Have to say no, we shouldn't at this stage. Would short circuit the rebuild plan and the likelihood of an offer sheet not being matched is slim. Stick with draft and develop please.
