Down goes brown has sent his spies into the NHL offices to find out the inside outs of the RFA offer sheet process. Worth a read for the picture alone.

It was inevitable that this would be about the Flames

Unfortunately, this part is a fact!:
If you are signing a player to a contract with an average annual value greater than $3.3 million, your compensation to the other team will include a first round draft pick. Why are you willing to give up such a high pick?
( ) Feel the first round pick will have little or no value, because we are the Calgary Flames and for the past decade our entire amateur scouting department has been made up of one guy watching a borrowed VHS tape of Youngblood on a permanent loop.
