I could see the Knights taking a shot. They have loads of picks and prospects and can afford to give up some picks.
The Flyers seem to be getting impatient. Ditto for the Panthers.
As for the targets, there's no point making an offer that the team will have no trouble matching. So the Flames, Avs, Canucks, and Hurricanes are safe. The Leafs, Jets, and Lightning, however, are vulnerable.
So I could see the Wings taking a run at Connor. Or the Flyers at Marner.

The rangers and wings are the two biggest offersheet threats.
Both have accumulated assets. both will have accumulated assets prior to submitting an offersheet.
If there is acrimony between the rangers and flames in regards to the hamilton/adam fox negotiations, I would not bet against Gorton using an offersheet on a prominent, american born player.
