Offer sheets – not happening
By ilb2001
Every year, right after the free agent season begins on July 1st, and often times way before that, we keep hearing lots of gossip about potential offer sheet signings by players (usually high quality players) in order to maximize their potential future contracts, even though it may mean changing the team.
Considering the current salary structure, the almost prohibitive cost to trade for a top-line player, and the much diluted pool of UFAs, the offer sheet route could become a very important tool in obtaining highly regarded players.
