Offer sheets are a rarely used tool in the NHL, one that can greatly help your team, or hinder you for years to come. An offer sheet is when a restricted free agent signs with a team other than his own. Depending on the value of this contract (in dollars), the team signing the player must offer the team’s current selections as compensation. The team that originally owned the rights to the player gets a week to decide whether to match the offer and keep the player, or allow him to leave and take draft picks.
According to recent revelations by Flyers reporter Jesse Bell about the Flyers’ off-season actions, they may be considering using the offer sheet to sign intriguing young forward Cole Cofield.

Although Caufield’s second full season with Montreal had to be interrupted early due to shoulder surgery, Kid was only on track to score about 50 goals. He is currently one of the hottest pitchers in the league and would be a great addition to Philadelphia.
Fans expressed their disapproval of this proposed action in response to this report. A goal-scoring little winger isn’t the Flyers’ current top priority, according to many supporters, and being cut off from Coffield’s top picks could hamper the rebuilding process.
