It's a true statement according to the NHL's rules on which players can be offer-sheeted. One of the rules is that only forwards and d-men (with 3 years of service or more) who have played at least 80 games are eligible for an offer sheet.
So yes, the Oilers screwed themselves by playing him in 2 meaningless games at the end of the year and putting him at 81 games played, making him eligible for an offer sheet.
