Nobody's signed an offer sheet in nearly three years. It's a non issue.

Yeah, but it's not that often that players of this calibre really hit that market. I think there's kind of an unwritten rule that you just don't do it.
But I think when a player like Gaudreau (although this is erroneous) hits that market, I would think "all is fair in love and war" comes up. Monahan as well. I'd say he is more highly regarded at this time than any players on that list were other than Weber and maybe O'Reilly.
