<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>njlaforte</b></div><div>3 2nds, a youngish goalie that is probably a low end starter or high end backup, a bottom pair D and Krebs who will be a 2nd/3rd liner is not enough for a top 3 goalie (best goalie in the world imo)</div></div>

The top 3 goalie is only under contract for 1 year and Hellebuyck is not staying in Winnipeg. Winnipeg is going to get as much as they can before he becomes a UFA. Winnipeg does not have the leverage you seem to think they have. It comes down to what competing teams such as Buffalo and New Jersey decide to give up for him. If the competing teams agree to keep the bidding low, Winnipeg can only take what they can get or they can hang on to Hellebuyck for the last season and get nothing in return when he walks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I want you to consider carefully the ramifications of tendering that offer sheet. The following season, Colorado has no significant RFAs to re-sign and at least $25 million in cap space. Meanwhile, Buffalo's RFAs in 2024 are Rasmus Dahlin, Peyton Krebs, Casey Mittelstadt, and UPL.</div></div>

Waddell has definitely set the precedent that sending an offer sheet will end up hurting in the future. Whether or not certain GM’s have the sack to actually do it, that’s another matter.

Now as for this one, I’m pretty sure the Sabres would only really care about locking up Dahlin, which shouldn’t be terribly hard, especially since KA is more than likely to start negotiating this off season, if not already. I would be surprised if Dahlin even has the chance to be sent an offer sheet. Don’t think the Sabres care as much if they end up losing Mitts, Krebs, or even UPL. UPL would hurt a bit more until Levi is ready, but Krebs I wouldn’t be surprised if he isn’t in Buffalo much longer with the other C prospects the Sabres. Mitts I don’t believe moves the needle much for Buffalo, but I could be wrong there.
