Agreed - I think it would be pretty crazy for anyone to try an offer sheet this year.
CBJ actually has about 8M in cap space - capfriendly's current calculation is a 26 man roster with 3 guys on IR.
They have quite a few offence first forwards who aren't particularly noted for 2-way play (Laine, Voracek, Nyquist, Roslovic, Johnny) and 3 very young F's (Sillinger, Johnson, Chinakhov)...in a perfect world they'd probably want to trade an O-guy for a 2-way forward, but maybe some of them are actually good 2-way players?
