Anaheim Ducks Keep Leo Carlsson, Matching Flyers’ $90 Million Offer Sheet for Young Center
The Ducks have until Friday to match a five-year, $90 million offer sheet that would make Carlsson the NHL’s highest-paid player.
- On Friday, the Philadelphia Flyers tendered a five-year, $90 million offer sheet to Anaheim Ducks restricted free agent Leo Carlsson, forcing a decision by tomorrow at 3 p.m.
- Anaheim Ducks General Manager Pat Verbeek faces significant financial constraints, holding only roughly $9 million in cap space after re-signing defenseman Pavel Mintyukov.
- Declining the offer would net Anaheim four first-round picks from the Flyers, though the Ducks must also prioritize paying restricted free agent Cutter Gauthier.
- Florida Panthers star Brady Tkachuk defended the valuation on his Wingmen podcast, stating, "Eighteen million is not an overpay whatsoever."
- If the Ducks decline to match, Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin emerges as a potential trade target, as Anaheim remains in a similar contention window to the Philadelphia Flyers.
