And the guy who signed that offer sheet hasn't been the GM for nearly half a decade. The owner is different. The owner of the Sabres is different. The GM of the Sabres is different. And ultimately, nothing became of Vanek or the Oilers in those seven years anyway, so why is the grudge still relevant?
Nobody in Anaheim still cares about the Penner offersheet. Anaheim isn't a threat to give him $14M when they don't even spend to the cap.
I am all in favor of us offer sheeting McDavid for purely spiteful reasons, but I just don't see many teams that will be able to justify that acquisition cost from a hockey perspective, or even fit the move under the salary cap without completely ####ing their team.
For $14M, you can have Alexander Ovechkin and Vlasic. I simply don't see any team spending that much cap on a single player, doesn't matter who it is.
