It seems like an annual talking point in the NHL off-season, “When will someone send an offer sheet”, and year after year good players reach July 1st without an extension, but yet no-one ever actually goes for it. It seems like there’s rumblings of teams kicking around offer sheets, but nothing ever materializes. Now that the Wild brought on Paul Fenton, a rookie GM, could he break the trend?
The Wild actually seem like they could have the requirements to pull it off, they have all their own draft picks (with the exception of the 2019 4th rounder, but that is irrelevant regarding offer sheets).
