Ryan Dixon examined potential restricted free agent offer-sheet targets following Leo Carlsson's recent offer sheet signing, identifying Adam Fantilli of the Columbus Blue Jackets and Connor Bedard of the Chicago Blackhawks as the two biggest potential targets. Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell stated on Monday that his club is positioned to match any offer for Fantilli, though an offer sheet was not expected but not ruled out.

I think that's giving too much credit to the offer sheet. Carlsson's goal-scoring on PP is nice, but it's clear they just wanted to get him away from Columbus and into a more stable system - that and probably getting draft picks out of it too isn't so secret @andy_v
