Offer sheet season is almost here, and now teams know what it will cost to make one. <\/p>\n
Here are the 2026 compensation thresholds for each tier of offer sheet, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman:<\/p>\n
First- and third-round picks<\/p>\n
First-, second- and third-round picks<\/p>\n
$9,551,332 to $11,939,166<\/p>\n
Two firsts, one second and one third<\/p>\n
Teams can start talking to restricted free agents on the night of June 30, but nothing can be signed until free agency officially begins on July 1.<\/p>\n
And remember that in determining the AAV of an offer sheet, you divide the salary by term length or five \u2014 whichever is lower.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were no players signed to offer sheets last off-season, but two summers ago, the St. Louis Blues signed both Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway to offer sheets that the Edmonton Oilers chose not to match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Offer sheet season is almost here, and now teams know what it will cost to make one.
