For an off season that looked like the flames should be changing the team a bit , it’s been very quiet. There have barely been bogus rumours let alone ones from reputable sources.

I wonder how often offer sheets are used as leverage in negotiations without even being signed. Example:
GM: “I’m going to match any offer sheet he signs so he’ll end up playing here no matter what. All that will do is put more pressure on him from his teammates, from the fans, and from the media. Let’s just keep negotiating and get to the right number.”
Agent: “We’ve found the right number already. It’s $10 million per year for five years. We have an offer sheet on the table that says so. You can give us that right now and no one needs to know about any offer sheet. We can call the negotiations complete and it won’t look like you were strong-armed into the deal.”

Run it back with the same team. Rely on a weak Pacific and slide into the playoffs. Declare that all we really needed was coaching structure. PO revenue secured. Owners happy. Tre's job saved. Team still mediocre. That's how its looking thus far.

Just makes me think it big trade or attempt at big UFA. I can see the team either landing Eichel or missing the party at this point...

I know Dhaliwal is well connected, but he hasn't Tweeted about this. He does radio hits and has his own show, so I'm looking for confirmation he actually said this, but I wouldn't be surprised either. 3 years seems too long though.

I had a feeling. I’m ok with it. If it’s under 3 million per I’m happy
Luring in Petterson
I’m gonna guess 3 years 2.75

3 years for a 35 year old defenceman?
WTF Treliving.

Barring an Eichel announcement, I’m actually quite afraid of what’s going to happen in the next 24 hours.
…I am a big fan of horror movies though, so this is exciting…in that horrifying way

Yup. I am too.
If Alex Edler is signed for one year that would be ok, but 3?
Just because you have cap space doesn't mean you blow it on whatever comes up.
I would rather have Stone in that spot.

I’m happy about it. This is the type of D man signing he has to make, if he wants to land a big fish up front.
