So recently I saw an interview with Burke and he mentioned that offer sheets are not off the board for him this off season and I know in the past he has been against it...did anyone else see this interview?
If he were to put an offer in on an RFA is it possible its because he is sick and tired of people trying to pick the bones of the Leafs(Gardiner etc) and fire back with an offer on say Schneider with long term(5 or 6 years?) and the max money to only give up a 1st 2nd and 3rd(Im not sure what that threshold is). They would have to match if it is accepted they would end up with 12+mil in goalies on the roster and they can just piss off with Luongo or trade him for dirt at that point. At least the offer sheet would force them to act fast.

I'd want to see footage of that as proof that he said it because I saw him say the exact opposite a week ago.
Should offer Schnieder $6,268,174 cap hit. See if Gillis likes playing hard ball for Luongo. Also, didn't he offer sheet against someone else a few years back?
I'm sure they'll just let us have him for 4 x 1st rounders
$1,034,249 annual cap hit or less: No compensation
$1,034,249 — $1,567,043: Third-round pick
$1,567,043 — $3,134,088: Second-round pick
$3,134,088 — $4,701,131: First and third-round pick
$4,701,131 — $6,268,175: First, second and third-round pick
$6,268,175 — $7,835,219: Two first-round picks, a second and third
$7,835,219 and higher: Four first-round picks
burke isnt against offer sheets, he doesnt like how they inflate. Like if schnieder is worth 3 million and we gave 5-6 mill to get him. Thats what he hates. He knew penner wasnt worth the money in anaheim and thats why he let him go and dislike the offer sheets
He's not against renting barnes either and a cage match for Kopitar would be alot more entertaining than waiting to see if the nucks match an offer for Schnids .
i'm down, could be the nhl's version of "the decision"
We should have dropped an atomic bomb of an offer sheet on Stamkos last summer that would have blown Tampa's finances back to 1992. I'm all in favour of offer sheets, but I'd save it for special players.
So you're saying that if teams don't trade us there players for crap we should throw a hissy fit and try to screw them ?
I wouldn't call it a hissy fit. And thinking about it more closely now, it's not against the rules at all and it's just good strategy. Teams should be aware that things like these can happen and if they don't have the foresight to plan against it, then why shouldn't teams take advantage?

For the purposes of calculating cap hit in an offer sheet, the most # of years you can use is 5 to discourage those shady long term deals.
$50million for 10 years would be calculated as $50million / 5 years or $10mill per year. (4 x 1st rounders)
No way I'm giving Schnieder an offer, not giving up another top 5 pick and top 10 pick.
Are you seriously saying we are in the lottery again next season with the addition of Schneider? If we had some consistency in net we would more than likely be a playoff team, certainly not lottery IMO at the very least. If we can show serious progression some stud players actually might not be intimidated to join the Leafs. I agree it might piss them off but really how do you guys feel about what CBJ were asking of us for Nash? That was outrageous. Also I only mentioned giving one first rounder up, if they offered Schneider for next years 1st-3rd picks you wouldn't take that deal?!

Last years numbers, yes? Thresholds'll all be slightly higher this year, haven't seen them yet, but it's tied to average salary which no doubt increased again.

I just said that in response to the OP saying we should do it so teams don't ask us for our most valuable assets in trades .
I have no problem with offer sheets but they only have a chance of working in very unique situations and for the most part only serve to drive up prices for everyone .
