Ducks Face Tough Choice on Carlsson | Philadelphia Flyers News

The Anaheim Ducks face a make-or-break decision as the Philadelphia Flyers lob a massive 5-year, $18M/yr offer sheet at star center Leo Carlsson — potentially making him the highest-paid player in the league. With just seven days to match or let him walk, the Ducks risk losing their top center and gaining four first-round draft picks. Already capped by this potential deal and other signings, they’re down to just $17M in space — leaving little room to re-sign key restricted free agents like Gauthier and Mintyukov. Carlsson’s contract could set a new standard for his draft class, including Bedard and Fantilli, as he’s already amassed 61 goals and 141 points in 201 games. This move could define the Ducks’ future for years to come.
