Weren’t we done with this already? I thought the baseless hand-wringing about the Leafs’ cap situation ended once Nylander mercifully put pen to paper and everyone could then go back to enjoying their first-place team. Alas, apparently not.
The most pressing topic of discussion in recent days has centred around the concept of offer sheets. Or, more specifically, which of Toronto’s young stars will inevitably be targeted with one.
You remember offer sheets, right? Oh, you don’t? Well, I can’t blame you for that one.
No team has actually used the offer sheet avenue since 2013, when the Calgary Flames failed to poach then-RFA Ryan O’Reilly from the Colorado Avalanche once the Avs matched.
