The RFA Game
League news is that the RFA game could come into play again with teams now having top tier RFA's available. Players likes Tomas Vanek, Backstrom from Minny, and other young guns could be signed to offer sheets. This will intensify negotiations with current teams in hope of signing them to long term deals. Proves to make it better why PC signed Bergeron. Last year there was only 1 offer sheet given out and that was by the Devs. Look for it more this offseason, could make it a more interesting offseason. Some bad blood could develop.

I assume that owners were ready to live with it when they put in in the CBA. An offer is the consequence of a team who have a good " pool " of players while their situation against the cap is problematic. I expect this see the " offer sheet " strategy to become more and more popular through the year.
GM are still learning the system and teams will pay for their mistakes soon enough. That's why the signing of Bergeron was a good thing. A team like Buffalo is at risk for this summer..
