Rarer than a triple play in baseball, the offer sheet is an interesting thing in the NHL that no GM ever uses. According to Elliott Friedman, the New York Islanders might be the first team to use it since 2013.
One General Manager told him “I will bet my house that the Islanders offer sheet someone on Toronto.” It’s kind of a petty move, but in a desperate spot it could actually work out for the Islanders.
