Offer Sheets Less Risky This Summer (Apr 18 2008 23:35 GMT) - From Rand Simon at The Hockey News, While we have no way of knowing if the Gilbert signing was in any way motivated by the threat of a potential offer sheet this summer, we do know that thanks to the large increase in the average league salary (ALS), it will be easier for teams to make offer sheets without risking as much compensation. If a team fails to match an offer sheet, it receives draft pick compensation from the signing team based on the average annual value of the new contract. The catch is that the compensation levels go up along with the increase in ALS. For the first season after the lockout, ALS was $1.458 million but after a 17 per cent increase last season and an expected increase this season in the 10 per cent range, ALS will be around $1. |
