How in God's name is NO ONE using an offer sheet on Lindholm!?!? I get it, not many teams have the cap space but by God, Carolina has about $15 million and could use a guy like Lindholm (and hey they already got a forward who's really good with the same last name so they can commiserate...I am assuming they're not related).
At the very least you're really screwing things up for Anaheim who would then have to scramble like mad to either match or let him walk. The scrambling part would at least be fun to watch.
I would love to see more offer sheets. I find the idea entertaining. And as far as other GMs won't trade with you in the future- GMs turn over pretty often, and they don't want to shoestring themselves either. If there will be a deal to be made that will benefit their club, they'll make it, whether or not they hate the GM who offer sheeted their player. I mean, teams sign each other's UFAs that want to test the FA market. What's so different about RFAs? You'll get compensation too, unlike with UFAs.
