The Philly-Kesler offer sheet was amazing. Kesler was a relative nobody at the time, and Philly offered 1.9M/yr. Just below the next compensation threshold. Vancouver was right up to the cap and did not make signing Kesler a priority. It was a no-lose situation for Philly at that price, term, compensation (2nd rd pick).
