IDK...it is possible that the offer sheet would be just a tactic to force the Oil to have to cut elsewhere...It's not like they don't have other #1s that might be set adrift by having to pay McDiver due to an offer sheet. RL example, offer sheets to Niemi AND Hjalmarsson forced the 'Hawks to choose between a SC winning goalie, and a young #3 D-Man. Similarly, the Oil might be forced to deal an asset or get, say, RNH out of purgatory, just because they MUST over pay, or lose, the chosen one.
