It appears that it is possible to max offer sheet even if you do not have one of your next 4 1st round picks.  I was replying to someone who said that we should offer sheet and defer the compensation until the 2021 pick, keeping the 2020 1st.  I don’t think you can voluntarily defer the compensation.  I don’t think that’s what Dreger is saying.  I think you can only do that if you don’t possess the 2020 pick.

Correct.  When a team only owes a single draft pick in a particular round, it must be available in the next draft.

When a team owes multiple picks in a particular round, they must give up their next picks in that round, but they can have already transferred 1 of those picks and still make the offer.  They simply have to extend out the last pick owed 1 year.

Ex: if you owe a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd they all must be available in the upcoming draft.  If you are lacking 1 of you own picks in these rounds, you can't place an offer requiring that compensation.

But if you owe 4 - 1sts, you must have 4 of those next 5 1st rounders available as compensation and the prior team gets the next 4 available.  So, if you have the next 4, the prior team gets those 4; not 3 of those 4 and your 5th 1st rounder.  And if you are lacking 2 of those next 4, you can't make the offer.

And if there were a compensation level that included 2 or more picks of a particular round, the signing club would have to give up their next 2 picks with one of them sliding to the 3rd year if either of those next 2 had already been transferred to another team.  Pretty sure there are no compensation levels that that situation applies to except the 4 1st rounders.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Makes sense since you are only allowed to exceed the cap by 10% in the offseason. If/when they get Marner signed they'll know exactly how much money they need to free up so they can do that before announcing the deals for those guys.

5 year deal on Zuc?  No thanks.  I'm with Modo and want him for 2-3 years but no way I'm going 5.

Dreger said he knows the Sabres are interested, he thinks they might go five years.

Just so it's in writing and I don't get accused of being negative for the sake of being negative, barring any surprisingly good or bad contracts for these players, I will be happy/fine with signing

Donskoi, Connolly, Tanev, Pavelski, Panarin

I will be indifferent or feeling slightly dubious of signing
Duchene, Bobrovsky, Nyquist, Zuccarello, Stralman, Gardiner, Panik, Dzingel, Johansson, Ferland, Lindberg

Boyle is in between these tiers

I will be upset if we sign
Perry, Lee, Spezza, Simmonds, Phaneuf, Girardi, Marleau, Pominville, Myers, Brassard, Ceci, Filppula

I missed some guys but yeah. I had guys like Nemeth/Benn on my best case free agency team but that was because of a specific Risto trade that required me building a defensive D pair from scratch and fitting under cap. Since we likely aren't doing what I had on there they're guys I barely glance at

That's the question.  Heard on the way home leafs are about $7 mil under the cap right now but have to sign Marner.

7 is nowhere near enough.  Something still has to give in The Great Satan.
