From flamesnation.ca:

"Brandon Saad and Patrick Sharp are in some ways linked in this scenario. The Flames could submit a reasonable offer sheet on Saad forcing the Blackhawks to match which puts them over the cap. $5 million would probably be enough to put the screws to them and the compensation in that range is a 1st and a 3rd round pick. If they don’t match, you’ve just acquired a 22 year old center with some very good potential. If they do, you can turn around and make a trade offer for Sharp, a $5.9 million cap hit for two more years, and because of the corner you’ve put them in likely walk away without paying full price. Say a 2nd and a prospect like Markus Granlund. The Blackhawks might get better offers elsewhere for Sharp, so we’ll put this one aside for now and continue on with Semin."

That's so evil. :evil:

Saad doesn't have to accept any offer sheet.

He can take a smaller deal with a promise of a bigger pay-day later if he really wants to stay. It's obviously risky but could be worth it to stay in Chicago.

If you could submit offer sheets at the draft that would be awesome. I think Sharp is gone on friday though.

Can't offer sheet at the draft? Just the fri/sat or what?
