Provost Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 As per Hockeybuzz, there have been rumblings about teams giving an offer sheet to Kucherov once the World Cup is done. One of the teams noted was the Canucks. http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Eklund/Source-Rumblings-of-an-Offer-Sheet-for-Nikita-Kucherov--Buzz-330/1/79398 As entertaining as the idea might be (he plays both wings so could bump down either Hansen or Baertschi), I don't see Benning as the offer sheet type. We do actually have the picks to be eligible to though, I would assume in the $5.6 to $7.5 range which means a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd. Doubt he signs for $5.5 which is the 1st and 3rd. I would rather see a sign and trade happen with Tampa if they don't think they can sign him. As Tampa would want roster players for right now rather than futures.

HerrDrFunk Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Yeah, I can't really see Benning giving up a 1st and 3rd just to piss off another team. Now if a 2nd was involved though, that I could totally see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hortankin Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I actually wouldn't mind this as much as I hate the thought of offer sheeting. Kucherov would be a great addition to our young up and coming team. Im all for it, get er done Jim!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLocke Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 If we should offer sheet anyone, it's Gaudreau. Sign him for 8.5milx8. If Calgary matches, we've managed to screw Calgary for the next 8 years. If Calgary doesn't match, we get Johnny Hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a year to do it as there isn't expected to be near the draft talent, especially at the top end as the last couple years. Even if the very worst case scenario happens and you win the lottery... Kucherov>Nolan Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 We don't have the cap space to be throwing money at RFAs. We have a bunch of our own to sign next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberz21 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Usually I'm all for offer sheet. ...but, is it just me or if there is one GM you don't want to piss off it's Steve Yzerman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny if Calgary matches they are screwed......but if we do sign him with the same contract terms we are winners? Logic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Don't like this way. Funny, almost all offer sheets seemingly come from Cdn squads. Tax laws(amidst other issues) do these 7 franchises no favours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'm not sure that would work for us capwise? We've got a bunch of RFA's we've gotta re-sign pretty quick and we've got just under 3.5m in cap space remaining? Miller should be gone next season and if Burrows sticks around he'll be a lot cheaper but still, fitting in Kucherov on top of all that? It'd be tight. If anything I'd rather attempt a trade and move bodies, and Stevie Y isn't someone I'd wanna mess with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
