Canucks to offer Flopola

Interesting. The Canucks are apparently going to tender an offer to
Flopola. The actual amount they are going to offer is just
speculation, but this is really interesting.

Your dumbass GM has already said that the Wings will match any offer
sheet for Flopola. I doubt that the Canucks would bother negotiating
with him if it were for a salary low enough to where the Wings could
and would match. But then, why on Earth would Vancouver make Flopola
an offer that Detroit can't match? They'd be stuck paying a 3rd liner
ridiculous scratch AND have to pay the compensatory picks.

Fascinating situation though. I'm glad that we're starting to see more
offer sheets tendered. The whole pre-lockout collusion with regards to
RFAs was just stupid.
