From Scott Cullen at TSN,
While the unrestricted free agent market garners most of the attention, this summer could finally present the time for NHL general managers to actually put the collective bargaining agreement to work, using offer sheets to acquire restricted free agent talent.

Includes a chart clarifying RFA compensation dollar amounts, and a look at potential targets for offer sheets around the league.
