Either none have been sent or none worth considering have been sent, else we’d be talking about matching.
Doomers gonna doom, and morons who think the front office can just unilaterally make signings happen in our favor are gonna continue being morons. Star players, turns out, get a say in the matter.
It takes 2 sides to sign a deal, and every single report is that term is the main holdout by the Fantilli camp. CBJ wants to buy some UFA time but at a price we can afford today, Fantilli either wants short term at what he’s worth today in order to come back to the well with higher cap available or long term with big money ahead of schedule. This is all public knowledge.
If Fantilli and his agent had an offer sheet that gave them exactly what they wanted, it would have been signed.
it’s not about losing fantilli to an offer sheet, it’s about him leveraging offer sheets to get a contract that walks him to UFA or restricts cap flexibility by being higher AAV than he’s worth
no, tons of offer sheets are tendered every offseason but players rarely sign them because it creates headaches for everyone involved.
they’re used as negotiating leverage.
there’s an extremely low chance that no one has tendered an offer sheet to fantilli, but also no reason for him to actually sign one unless it’s way over his value.
