Other offer sheets have been sent this offseason
Mark Scheig: Player agent Allan Walsh: “I can inform you that other players have already been offered deals as Group 2 restricted free agents with other teams, and so they either didn’t sign it and ended up re-signing with their club or it’s still hanging on the market.”

The Jason Robertson Situation Stays an Interesting One to Follow
Marek: “Could you see Pat Verbeek turning around and handing one or each of the players you mentioned to the Pittsburgh Penguins at a deep, deep discount to get a, get out, out of their cap situation here?”
Pagnotta: “And here’s the second-round pick as a thanks. Wouldn’t shock me. Pittsburgh’s got the cap space. I feel Kreider’s six and a half (million) in that range. (Frank) Vatrano’s at 4 and a half, or simply…”
Marek: “Vatrano’s 4 and a half. (Alex) Killorn 6.25 (million). (Chris) Kreider 6.5 (million).”
Pagnotta: “Okay, so Pittsburgh’s got the cash. They got the cash for all three. But you wish some players still playing in Anaheim. So that you, you progress out two of those guys.
You might have to incentivize, and there was word again Sunday when these names began to pop up that with three first, with three, excuse me, second round picks in next yr’s draft, the Geese could also be willing to incorporate one in all those, perhaps more in the event that they get desperate enough. Or perhaps one other pick with a view to tackle the total pop of those deals.
Remaining NHL Free Agents May Must Lower Their Expectations Now
Because moving two of them, even when it’s let’s say one in all the sixes and Vatrano, you’re freeing up a little bit over 10 mill. With the, with the nine and alter you have got now, that’s good enough for Kreid, excuse me Kreider, for Gauthier, Cutter, and it gives you a little bit flexibility to still fish within the free agent market to fill the void of one in all those guys leaving.”
