Unlikely, but why expose yourself to the risk, should have been priority number 1B after getting a goalie, and they've had all year.

Good point with those two, I'd forgotten them. The lesson being "don't match stupid offer sheets". I'm not worried about it and this management group has given indications that they're prone to screwing up contract negotiations. Let's argue about Grant and Nakladal instead! That's the juicy stuff offseason threads are made of.
