NHL Stigma Towards Offer Sheets Makes it Personal

November 15th, 2020 The NHL restricted free agency "market" and specifically the offer sheet process can be puzzling.

Flyers Lookback: The Shea Weber Offer Sheet

June 26th, 2020 Offer sheets in professional sports are not a common occurrence. Normally, unrestricted free agency is the route most teams go in the offseason when trying to add talent.

New York Islanders Will Match Offer Sheet for Mathew Barzal

March 22nd, 2020 In the last couple of offseasons, restricted free agents (RFAs) have gained more power over their second contracts.

Leon Draisaitl: A Perfect Offer Sheet Target

Should The Blackhawks Trade Andrew Shaw's Rights?

June 6th, 2016 Andrew Shaw is a player that holds undeniable value for the Chicago Blackhawks. The expectations weren't very high for the pending restricted free-agent (RFA) forward who was drafted by the Blackhawks with the 139th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Unlike most late-round draft picks, however, the odds were stacked even higher...
