If I'm an NHL GM, I'm making offer sheets to get my rivals top talent to UFA as soon and as expensively as possible.

Just hope no GM offer sheets Tkachuk to rob the Flames of UFA years. Definite risk if GMs are willing to play by the offer sheet rules.
A GM's job is to make his team better.

What did Bergevin do here to make his team better?

Bergevin isnt even likely to be the GM in 5 years...so again....what was the point?
