I personally think there should be more offer sheets. I don't understand why more GM's use this as if you are a team without an elite center it is absolutely worth four 1st round picks to get that elite center for all of his prime years. These same GM's have absolutely no issues giving big term and money for the last few years of a UFA players prime and all of his decline years which to me is kind of dumb as the NHL seems to be the worst professional sport when it comes to paying top dollar for past performance.
