In all likelihood, the contract negotiations are in the ball park of 7 mill and the term being discussed is around 6-8 years. So this offer sheet wouldn't do anything to entice Nylander to jump ship. The only way an offer sheet would work is if Nylander's camp wants 8.5 and TO offers him 5 mill and neither side budges, then you could see an offer sheet. However, in that case, the player will want above market value which now means you'd be talking 7 years at 8+ just to get him interested in jumping ship, otherwise they would just negotiate with TO and try to get the number closer to 7.5 and get the 8 years.
Offer sheets don't make sense when you are talking about star level players.
With that being said, Johnsson or Kapanen could be targets for an offer sheet. Let's say Kapanen impresses and scores 20+ goals and 40+ points, he'll likely be looking for a contract in excess of Hyman's. Next season the big deals will go to Marner and Matthews, and that could squeeze Johnsson and Kapanen. So a team could offer sheet one of them for 3+ million on a 3-4 year deal and the Leafs will have to let them go. They can't afford to overspend on the depth guys regardless of how good they played in the season.
