KK Is a Goner

I'd love to see the Habs offersheet Necas and the canes have to lose him because of kk's atrocious contract

For league entertainment, it'd be great to see the offersheet cold war continue but if MTL were to do so, the Canes would subsequently offersheet Slaf, Guhle or any of MTL's young RFA expiry players in the coming years.

1. I don't see Hughes going the OS route

2. If he did, I don't think he is dumb enough not to sign his RFA's the year before their expiry

I agree and don't think they'll try another offersheet after how the Aho/KK series went (regardless of how KK's been playing, they initiated the conflict and ended up losing both players), however if they did they probably would have to offer Necas $8-10m on a 1 year deal with an extension worked out beyond that similar to how the KK offersheet went where you drastically overpay for 1 year with a long term extension figured out ahead of time. And for MTL, they have so many RFAs in the next 2-3 years that it'd be tough to proactively sign every player before expiry, there's a lot of choices for a retaliatory OS that CAR could choose from.

Why on earth would SJS give up Chmelevski for KK?
