The one good thing Tambellini and MacT did was not give out NTCs or NMCs, so the Oilers used to have no NTCs/NMCs. Then Chiarelli took over and started giving them out like candy. :negative:

To be fair, that includes Franzen, so once he goes on LTIR that'll free up $4 mil in cap space, giving them $1 mil of cap space for a bottom 5 team in the league. And they still have to sign Athanasiou.

Maybe because of the collusion between NHL teams to not send them out? If Draisaitl hasn't got an offer sheet, no one will.

With that said, I had a thought earlier in the week that it would be fun if offer sheets remained anonymous up to the point where the player switched teams. I.E Team A could send an offer sheet for a player on Team B without Team B (or anyone aside from Team A, the player in question and the league) knowing who it was from. Team B could match the offer, and Team A would never be revealed as the one who did it. If Team B walked away, the player would join Team A. It would encourage more underhanded tactics from teams and add a bit of intrigue to the duller summer months. Sadly we all know the league doesn't actually want them sent out because they drive player salaries up.

the thing about draisaitl is that even a successful offer sheet on him will return a ton of picks. athanasiou's contract is probably like a third of what draisaitl's will be, there's absolutely no risk involved

The NTC on the one year contract is a real mill stone on the teams neck.

In this situation, it would require a substantial overpay to make the compensation worthwhile. <3.95m/year and it's a 2nd round pick. >3.95m and it's 1st+3rd. The latter might be worth it to the Red Wings, but it's also a lot of money, and it would gently caress up a GM's bridge contract scheme. i.e. if the Rangers offer-sheeted AA for 5x4m, then when Vesey is up for a contract, that's his ask.

It could work like the Hjalmarsson offer sheet and signing Niemi, because holy poo poo, the Red Wings cap situation. :signings:
