You do realize that another team has to make up the offer sheet. Tkachuk just can't go to LA and say I want an offer sheet for 9x5
There is no benefit for a team to offer sheet him unless they actually think he is worth 11M year AND 4 first round picks or else the Flames just match.
Trouba wanted a 10M offer sheet from Boston. He held out and signed 2 year deal for 6M in 2016-17. Then the arbitrator gave him 5.5 to play his 6th year in Winnipeg. The Jets got a 1st round pick and a 24 year old 3M x 3 yr D-man for him.
Not easy for a player to mess with a team.
