I think you gotta also have players that players want to play with.
The though out there is that if there is a time to make an offer sheet it is once the season starts being as teams don’t benefit from that 10% cushion over the cap during the season if they are in a bind.
So once the season starts the cap space is their true cap space once all parameters are applied..LTIR etc...
So if a team like Calgary starts the season with say 6 mil in cap space and you offer sheet Tkatchuk with an AAV of 7.5 well Calgary has a week to try and find that extra 1.5 mill

We should be in darn good shape to do this if we wanted then. I dont think he will though....
Well MB should have waited until the start of the season to offer sheet Aho...not that it would have made a difference because Carolina would have probably still matched but you would have seen Carolina’s cap situation more clearly and maybe offered an AAV that exceeded the cap space they had.
I would have felt comfortable with the same type of front loaded deal but with An AAV of 10.1 which takes us to the next level of compemsation being 2 firsts a 2nd and a 3rd

Or trading him to Winterpeg
he wont get more than 5 years
he didn't fit day 1 ..... a reach by a regime that put media/fan base ahead of what`s good for the team

He makes everyone around him look really bad. He is not built to play in a pressure cooker
He is fine on a stacked top 6 where he can hide with superstars and a Tkatchuk type to do the dirty work
He can get his 60+ points and hide
He cant be relied on to be a core player on a contending team
Major F...up by our regime
