"How do offer sheets work?
An offer sheet is a binding NHL contract that is offered to an eligible RFA whose rights are owned by a different NHL club. The rules of the offer sheet are the restrictions in the RFA designation. Any player who is a Group 1 RFA, 10.2.c RFA, or a UFA cannot be tendered an offer sheet.
One key example of this is the Vancouver Canucks. Elias Pettersson is eligible to sign an offer sheet as he is an RFA, whereas Quinn Hughes is not eligible to sign an offer sheet as he is a 10.2c RFA.
If a player chooses to sign an offer sheet with another NHL team, their original team—the one that holds their rights—has a choice. They can either match the offer sheet which means they inherit the signed contract as is, or they can choose not to match. If they do not match, the player is now a member of the other team with their contract being the offer sheet. In return, the original team gets compensation in the form of draft picks from the signing team, depending on what the average annual value (AAV) of the offer sheet was."

The 3 Stastny brothers (Peter, Anton and Marion) played for Quebec.
Three Howes, Gordie, Mark and Marty all played together in the WHA
Did three or more Sutters ever play/coach at the same time for same team?
Would be good if Hughes left the Canucks one day to join his brothers
I think he landed in a good spot with regards to his migraines. Nevada is the 13th lowest State and Vegas the 18th lowest city in America for days with variation in barometric pressure >=0.20. Coincidentally Pennsylvania is the 31st lowest state and Philadelphia the 19th highest city in America for days with variation in barometric pressure >=0.20.
It will be interesting to see if he rebounds especially on that roster, he could explode in production versus the start of his career if his health comes back under control in a better environment for him.

I don't think Murray ever played pro hockey. Imagine that, your dad is the best player of all time (I don't care I said it). Your two brothers were really good pro's. You never play pro hockey.
Spoiler!
Gordie - "Mark, Marty, I'm proud of you boys, come here and give dad a hug"
Murray - "Are you proud of me dad?"
Gordie - "Who are you?
Murray - "I'm your son"
Gordie - "Ain't you some kind of lawyer or something"
Murray - "I'm a doctor"
Gordie - "Whatever"
This is just in jest, I'm sure Gordie was equally proud of all of his kids "

Hmm...
My memory is failing me - maybe I am confusing that with them playing for the Little Caesars in Detroit, growing up.
Or maybe I am completely out to lunch - also possible.
