I'd be shocked if we see any offer sheets this year...the only teams confident enough to be far away from the lottery don't have cap space.
Any team contemplating one would probably try hard to make a trade that costs a little more than the offer-sheet compensation but adds protections to the 1st (ie. 1st + 2nd + 2nd instead of 1st+2nd+3rd; and of course you could include players/prospects)
MTL going for Necas could be fun though. MTL is still eligible to win another lottery next year though so it has immense backfire risk.
