Like with all offer sheets it is about painting a team into a corner and making them make hard choices. That hard choice is usually down the road.

I think Edmonton is lucky to have gotten this far without having their RFA's getting qualified offers. Of course that is no fault of the other team; it speaks to the ineptitude of the Oilers to develop multiple 1st overall picks properly. When you consistently pick as high as they do, you would expect that someone is going to offer an Oiler RFA big time money, and its only a matter of if, not when. I feel with Draisaitl and McDavid blooming, this might actually happen.
