Ottawa matches

100%. And quite quickly.

Do they match at $9M? Probably, but they wince. Do they match at $9.5M? Probably, but they might look to trade him after (and probably only find a trade partner by retaining $1M for the 5-year term). So there is a pinch point at some AAV, of course. And that pinch point probably hurts the signing team the most long-term.

I'll never stop being excited by the prospect of offer sheets. In reality, they are very difficult to pull off.
