with teams like the leafs waiting for the season to start so they can get the extra cap space from LTIR, I think an offer sheet still isn't out of the question. I'm guessing the leafs are going to throw all kinds of money at whatever term Marner wants as soon as they have the space because they can't make the space right now. If a team were to sign Marner to an offer sheet that has to be matched right before the season starts, it would really put the leafs in a tough spot. On day 2 of the season, the leafs will have 13 mill in cap space but have none right now, they wouldn't be able to match an offer sheet without gutting the team.

I really hope a team like the habs throw an offer sheet at Point or Marner just in time to screw over a team like Tampa or Toronto.
