Kyle Dubas Drops an Unexpected and Bold Statement on Offer Sheets

For so long in the NHL, an offer sheet remained a valuable weapon for General Manager's, but year after year, they went unused, until the summer of 2025 that is.

In a shock move, St. Louis Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong made a massive move, giving out not one, but two offer sheets, both to Edmonton Oilers players Philp Broberg and Dylan Holloway, both of whom signed and were not matched by the Oilers front office.

With players like Marco Rossi, JJ Peterka, Matthew Knies and Evan Bouchard among many others vulnerable to an offer sheet, the expectation is that 2024's actions from Armstrong will open the flood gates to GM's being free and confident to use them once more.

According to Penguins GM Kyle Dubas however, that may not be the case after all, as he has revealed his feelings on a potential summer of offer sheets, noting it won't be as bad as anyone thinks.

In his interview with renowned Penguins insider Josh Yohe, Dubas' comments seemed to imply that the Penguins wouldn't be looking to make offer sheets, with his intentions seemingly being to make a trade happen to land a young star given their strong links to Rossi.

At this point in time, anything could happen this summer, as many analysts have noted this could be a wild ride over the coming months, especially as teams look to load up around a weaker draft class, so whether there's offer sheets or not, expect plenty of chaos in the coming months.
