Offer sheets are great and they should happen more often.
Here is how it currently works.
For compensation purposes, the AAV is capped at a five-year maximum. Example: A 7 year, $35 million deal would have a $5 million cap hit, but for compensation, the AAV would be calculated as $7 million ($35M/5), requiring a first-, second-, and third-round pick
Draft picks have to be the picks of the offering team (cannot be traded for) and have to be for the next season(s) as required by the compensation table (cannot be deferred to future years).
$1 - $1,511,701
No Compensation
$1,5111,701 - $2,290,457
1 x 3rd-round pick
$2,290,457 - $4,580,917
1 x 2nd-round pick
$4,580,917 - $6,871,374
1 x 1st-round pick, 1 x 3rd-round pick
$6,871,374 - $9,161,834
1 x 1st-round pick, 1 x 2nd-round pick, 1 x 3rd-round pick
$9,161,834 - $11,452,294
2 x 1st-round picks, 1 x 2nd-round pick, 1 x 3rd-round pick
$11,452,294 or more
4 x 1st-round picks

NHL should change the rules to the following.
1. Get rid of the 5 year calculation. If it's a 7x7 deal then the compensation should land in the $7m range
2. Keep the requirement that the picks have to be in the allotted years (no deferment) but make it so that it can be a pick from any team so these can be acquired via trade
Maybe the compensation and $$$ thresholds would need to be adjusted to better reflect the new values but this would make things way more interesting.
I don't expect any comments on this except those of 100% agreeance.
