Yeah yeah yeah we all know nobody is offer sheeting anyone. Guys, the league is still an old boys club. In order to rise in the ranks you got to play by the rules. If you want to be the new forward thinking young GM a la Chayka and you decide to break the unwritten rule, guess what? Nobody trades with you and no one wants to deal with you on anything. That's how they think.
Offer sheets are no longer a thing of reality. If they ever get to the point of where a team may actually think of doing it because a team like Tampa just simply cannot match, they'll just work out an actual trade. Not this "behind you back steal your best players" BS that everyone thinks still will happen.
Not too mention that if ever came to a team like TB losing Point,, how easy would it be to simply trade Palat or Killorn, etc to make the added space for the clearly more valuable player in Point. Actually funny enough, the threat of a offer sheet may just be a ploy to get a team to trade one of their other lesser but still valuable player to that team instead. Example would be MB threatens offer sheet of point so Brisebois moves Gourde to the Habs instead.
Habs get a player they'd need without having to overpay. TB gets extra cap to keep Point and the extra assets from the Gourde trade.
