“Could the New Jersey Devils Shake Up the NHL with Bold Offer Sheets This Offseason?”
New Jersey Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald said that offer sheets were smart and that they were “probably and eye opener.” Some think there will be more attempts going forward, including agent Allan Walsh.
“Doug Armstrong comes in last year, does two on the same day and says, ‘F— it, I’m trying to make my team better and this is a tool available to me. When he did that, if you’re talking to GMs like I am, there has been a notable change in the way that offer sheets have been perceived.
Fast forward to this offseason — this coming offseason will be known as ‘the summer of offer sheets.’ It will be.”
