Offersheets don't have a very high success rate, for the most part teams will match them. All an offersheet is going to do is make all other 29 GM's mad at you for raising the contract demands of all other RFA's.
That is the point though , Colorado does not want to pay ROR the equivalent of a #1 and # 3 .

Scouts from the following Eastern NHL teams are at the Avs-Sharks game tonight...
Winnipeg, NY Rangers and Boston. Start your rumors now
Can be found on his Twitter feed.
So that's 3 straight games for the Jets and Rangers and 2 in a row for Boston...perhaps nothing comes from this, or perhaps the opposite, but here's the info.
No need to scout Colorado if only ROR is the only Av in question. Trades are starting in the league , we should stay tuned .
Wowzers. I wonder who they want in return.
A thought:
If we don't trade Burmistrov in this deal, we would basically have 3 future top 2 centres (I know we might not think much of Scheifele, but management does). Unless Burmistrov plays wing.
Yeah I'm not even sure who else on Colorado is available? We can't IMO under any circumstances trade out 1st this year until we know where it is slotted. Other than that, there's not much beyond the guys we have better than ROR that's off the table.

Hard to say if the Jets see Burmistrov long term at center or the wing. He's played mostly at RW over the past number of games. So maybe the Jets run with something like this:

Scheifele >>> over Burmistrov for me , especially at C . I said from the start of last year that imo Burmistrov is a better W than C , cetainly now imo. He hangs on to the puck too long and doesn't utilize his wingers well enough , is not strong on face offs and imo is better suited to being effective on the wing , certainly right now , again , imo.

Ladd ROR Wheeler
Kane Scheifele Burmistrov.
Lozenges actually said in his presser today specifically that he "Still sees Butmistrov as a Center." I must have been listening closer than usual.

Pretty sure this is incorrect. Burmi hasnt been taking the faceoffs, but he has been playing center
Yeah, when Burmistrov and Antropov are on a line together, it's hard to tell who is playing centre and who is playing wing. They're pretty much interchangeable.
I hope this ROR thing ends soon. Why would a team want to give up the assets to get a guy and potentially waste a year of his non-UFA years on a handful of games?

Probably has contributed to why he hasn't been moved yet.
Potential trade partners will use that as a reason for their offer and apparently Colorado feels that has little impact on his value.

I think that weakness on face-offs something that Scheifele has to work on too.
If Calgary gets their man, they will have no picks until the 4th round this year.. Ballsy move by the Flames org.
Col will wait the full 7 days to not match, correct? If they're taking compensation, they probably don't want to bolster Calgary's roster for at least a few more games.
