Leo Carlsson Offer Sheet

[Cahokanut]

I love it. Great move by Philly. Id guess the ducks were low balling Leo for him to sign it. As
This was the whole point of offer sheets.
This should also make gms think twice about giving third line talent bigger contracts then they should be getting Like Neighbours in our case.

Hopefully Offer Sheets become a weekly thing in the Summers to come.

Also Connor Bernard isn't Leo Carlson.

[BalotelliMassive]

Bedard be like

He might be sitting on an offer right now but pretty much everybody is expecting him to get 15-17 million per

[moose-and-squirrel]

I guess all you cap experts will tell me this is the new normal?

I know he's a ppg center but sure seems nuts to me.

The player, the AAV, the term and the cost to acquire.

The cost to acquire is very doable for the Flyers . They are loaded with quality prospects. They are taking the next step.

If you are going all in as they are why only 5 years? The cost to acquire could have been much less and if they were hedging it makes even less sense.

This is a great deal for Carlson I don't know about the other party's.

Because Leo sees a much bigger contract when he’s only 26.

Ya I get that but there's the other side. 18 friggen mil I bet Philly could have gotten more years if they really pushed it.

who really screwed up is ANA.. they could have signed him for 8yrs

Yep..they will match but they let another team dictate the price

and not only could they have gotten him for 8yrs, most likely much less per yr

[Harry S Deals]

He signed it so ANA man should have acted sooner

[Frank Underwood]

The poor Ducks…….but THIS is the kind of craaaap that happens when you pick in the top 5!

did anahiem match? it has him llsted at 18M for 5 years?

Not sure the “it” you’re referring to but no, Anaheim hasn’t responded yet. They have a full week to make their decision if they want to.

That's his contract now. We just have to find out who will be paying it.

did anahiem match? it has him llsted at 18M for 5 years?

That’s what he’s got now - that’s his contract, just TBD if it’s with the Flyers or Ducks, who haven’t matched yet but I believe they have a week to decide.

and I'm sure they'll take the whole week to do so

I would. Make Philly sweat and basically unable to make other moves as they don’t know if they truly have that $18M/year committed or not.

I wonder with the cap going up and moves like this if we are going to see GMs be a little more cut throat with their RFA offers?

Makes you appreciate what DA pulled off even more, if possible.

You mean McTavish or you mean the offer sheets for Broberg and Holloway two years ago?

Pat Verbeek, GM of the year.

Playing hardball with all that young talent. Shipping out the players and coaches that helped to turn the ship around.

What comes around goes around. Gross team mismanagement.

Zegras is smiling somewhere.

[Richie7]

This is insane, the NHL does not have the revenue MLB or NFL has.

Fans will be priced out.

that's the one I really wanted to take a chance on

[dhsux]

Might be over reacting but it looks to me like DA kicked the door down with the Edmonton OS's.

I can see this as a runaway train, out pacing UFA deals, if the players play it right.
