Just to clarify on the off chance you were suggesting this, you wouldn't be able to do the offer sheets at the same time if the compensation overlaps and if you want to attempt it on 3 players the each team likely makes you wait the full week before confirming they're matching which increases the likelihood the other teams will come to terms with their player.
Of course you could go with Doug Wilson's move from back in 2010. He offer sheeted Hjalmarsson for an amount more than Chicago would've been able to give him, then once Chicago spent the money on him they offered Niemi a contract Chicago could no longer afford since they'd spent the money on Hjalmarsson's deal.
In this case something comparable would be offer sheeting Byfield to a pricy deal but not enough that they don't match, then signing Arvidsson or Matt Roy, or offer sheeting Lundell and using the space to sign Reinhart or Montour.
Teams have gotten better at freeing up cap space though and I could see them dealing with going up to 10% over the cap in the summer and then giving up assets to another team (my Sharks are interested!) to free up that space rather than let you get away with it.
