Avs, Rangers, Kings, Ducks, Sabres each have 2. They would need to do some manoeuvring involving picks for this year and next before even being able to offer sheet.
Then they also would need to have the cap space to add that player.
Now you’d have to be nuts to think the Rangers or Avs throw away the number 2 or 4 overall picks as well as 3 other first rounders for frickin’ Tkachuk. He is good but give your head a shake if you think he is that good. Really.
He is also not even the best RFA out there. Marner, Point, and Raantanen are better and Aho
is at least comparable.
Yeah, I don’t even know why people are talking as though an offer sheet for Tkachuk is a realistic factor here |

Every team in the league currently has the draft picks available to offer sheet in the upper range.
This year's picks don't count as you can't offer sheet anyone till after the draft anyways.
The picks have to be your own and they have to be in the next 4 consecutive years.
