In this case, obviously Boston and Chicago weren't going to match the offer sheets. Good leg work by Treliving and Kekalainen to discover this fact. Offer sheet is a better option if you want to handcuff another team's cap situation. Trade is a better option if you're actually gonna acquire the player.
