Can an NHL offer sheet include a no-trade clause? Summer minutiae for diehards

The Athletic's NHL newsletter 'Red Light' explores a technical offseason question about whether NHL offer sheets can include no-trade clauses, using Leo Carlsson's contract as a reference point. The piece also introduces Janson Duench as The Athletic's new beat writer covering the Edmonton Oilers, who debuted earlier in the week during the mid-August NHL offseason lull. The newsletter is framed as content for dedicated hockey fans staying engaged during a quiet period between seasons.
