You're right of course. Teams that could've made that offer sheet and didn't finish in the bottom 10 last year:
CGY, DET, LAK, MTL, NJD UTA.
If we consder available cap space that leaves:
CGY, and DET.
Would need to make a trade after the fact
MTL & NJD ~$5M of cap space
UTA $7.8M
I thought the number would be low, but I never actually looked into it. I was surprised that it only came down to 2 teams. Which really puts offersheets into perspective for me.
