I don't see New Jersey trading him anytime soon. Sure, the wings could fill out an offersheet but that's a big no-no amongst NHL GM's. I heard one GM say that if anyone did that to him, he'd make it his mission to take every RFA that GM ever had the rest of his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest snowman89 Report post Posted July 5, 2007 Why would sending an offer sheet in the NHL be such a terrible move is there any other history there that anyone knows of? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HenryMalredo 2 Report post Posted July 5, 2007 I'd be very suprised to see any GM, except for maybe some of the more maverick ones, send an offer sheet to an RFA. I'd be shocked if Holland ended up sending an offer sheet to an RFA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Why would sending an offer sheet in the NHL be such a terrible move is there any other history there that anyone knows of? It's basically an unwritten rule that you don't mess with other teams RFA's. Because if you do, you'll end up losing your own eventually. I really think that Bobby Clarke going after Ryan Kesler was one of the reasons why he quit. If any GM does that, by his own will, you can kiss any communications with other GM's goodbye. And it'll make your upcoming RFA's a massive target for teams you've tried to grab players from. So basically, if Holland were to do that, you can guarentee that someone's going to offer Zetterberg an outrageous offer and basically try to steal him away from the Wings or make his salary so impossible it'll screw our CAP for years to come. You can also say 'bye-bye' to a lot of the teams dealing with Holland when it comes to trades. Edited July 5, 2007 by Hank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted July 5, 2007 Offer sheets are stupid. It's a good way to burn your bridges with pretty much every GM in the league. Hint: Bobby Clarke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earthhuman 8 Report post Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Refresh my memory does he play defense? If so If not I think he is more focused on offense, especially in this stage of his career, just like Yzerman was. I've seen him play a few times and he didn't make any glaring mistakes. He was a -3 in the regular season but a +4 in the playoffs. Edited July 5, 2007 by Earthhuman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
