It's not just collusion that keeps people from tendering offer sheets, it's actually really hard to put one together that's going to wind up being a good bet.

Agreed, and it strips you of so much value going forward, two firsts should get you top 9 forwards and top 4 D at a minimum, having that on an entry level, allows these larger contracts. Without entry level guys to offset the 10MM guys, teams run into issues.
