To start, I don't think any offer sheet scenario is reasonable as the targeted player still has to sign it, which means you are probably offering significantly more than what his current team is and probably more than what he is worth.

But, never say never. If the possibility is there of course you take it if the price is right and the player is willing.

I also condone strategic offer sheets against divisional rivals, though the opportunity for that scenario is even more unlikely. If you can inflate a teams spending by a million or two, that could be huge a couple years down the road when you are competing directly against them in the playoffs.

So in short, if things align where it makes sense absolutely you do. However that rarely happens.
