Agree with that.

This is where teams should be leveraging offer sheets - on the mid tier RFAs of cap crunched teams.

SJS with Lebanc
Flames with Bennett
Tampa with Sergachev
Washington with Vrana
Toronto with Kerfoot now
Rangers with Buchnevich
Vancouver with Boeser

All of these teams prioritized other players in UFA / RFA and either need to keep space to sign another RFA or have limited space to match to keep the player.

For example the Canucks have only $7.7M in cap space now...if you are a team with some cap space to burn and in need of a goal scoring winger (Looks at the Sabres) then a 5 x $7.8M offer sheet for Boeser wouldn't be the worst and would only cost you a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
