We don't really have to care what Verbeek thinks, if McTavish signs an offer sheet, then it will be up to the Ducks on whether or not they match.
9.3m x 5 gets you him at a 1st/2nd/3rd. Is that something Calgary is willing to do? I honestly think the pressure of finding a franchise forward falls down a little when you've got McTavish/Kadri as the 1/2 punch and then Reschny hopefully becoming the next 1A/1B with McTavish. I would do that offer sheet all day long. If the Ducks match, then you can try and offer sheet Zelleweger or Mintyukov next season, both ideal long-term partners for Parekh.
