Don't you give up Gautier (winger) to make sure you keep Carlsson (Center)
Danny Briere may have been possessed by the ghost of Ed Snider.
Check his grave. Look for evidence of voodoo. Check it!
Danny just dropped his nut sack on the table.
If i'm the Ducks let me go, take the picks and look to offer sheet Zergas! 9M/8 year. The sign Cutter to $11m/8 years Bring Zergas, back to the Ducks…
Take the picks and walk away knowing you won.
😂😂😂😂 all the flyers have done is raise future salaries and make it harder to retain players including their own. They have absolutely zero chance the Ducks don’t match! Nice job Flyers!
Laughable, this would be a difficult decision if it were a $14.5M sheet you had to match, because he's realistically a $12-$13M player. Getting 4 1st rounders as trade ammo PLUS not having to spend $18M a season on a 70 point player? Just a gift to Anaheim, they're going to land TWO equivalent players even if it takes a season.
Resist this temptation – be thought a fool – reset the salary structure & give up 4 1rst round draft picks – be known a fool & a jackass
Verbeke should have had Carlson under a new contract already.
Front loaded 39 million first 12 mths
Someone offer sheet Beddard right now!
LFG
If you are a Ducks fan you would be pissed with your GM and pissed Leo has screwed up the cap rebuild
No matter what the ducks dont say anything until the very last day of their time to reply (6 days I believe). That freezes Philly as they have to keep the $18 blocked until Anaheim responds.
Live from the Spectrum in Philadelphia!!!! Let Leo walk. He's absolutely not worth $18 million per.
Mcdavid laughin at all these over paid player's
Leo “well, I look good in orange, so…”
Idiots that make offers like this is how they are going to drive out all Canadian teams other than Vancouver and Toronto because Ticket prices keep goin up to pay Salaries and Canadian teams will get priced out..20 yrs later nobody will care about Hockey as 65% of fans are Canadian. You just fcked yourselves.
There goes Flyers chance of winning a cup.
Bri-EReA
The first team to win a cup with a $10M player was the Golden Knights in 2023, this contract looks like whoever signs it will be doomed during it's duration. Every other team is laughing right now just hoping no players on their teams thinking this is normal.
I’ll take Suzuki and demidov combined for less than Karlson lmao
Carlsson is a jerk. No matter what he loses. Go to flyers and won't win cup for 5 yrs. Stay with ducks. Ruin their cap and his teammates may hate him
Hey its the guy that botched the giroux move
Very happy Kent Hughes doesn't mess around and signs his key players quick and to insanely low deals. Habs will have both Demidov and Hutson for the same price as Carlsson. I like Leo, he's very good but yikes that's a lot of pressure he's putting on himself.
Big balls Danny! I love it
Fml
They just intentionally upbid us on resigning him. Match or lose him, and now we're in a bind
Carlson the worlds okayest player
No matter what, Carlson wins with this ridiculous contract.
"Let us know what you think."
Ok. You guys use the word "obviously" way too liberally. It's allowed to cover hockey and not abuse the shit out of that word.
The team never agrees to trade that player… offer sheets gives them no choice but to make a decision
Too much greedy money takes some of the fun out of sports! Sigh!
Calgary should do the same for a centre
Anaheim will match it no choice they aren't letting Leo walk.
$18 million 🤑🤑🤑😳😳😳 just passed Kaprizov at $17.
This helps the habs the most and hurts alot of the others teams true story
Cutter is going to want 18 million orr request a trade
I hope pat learns from this an stops waiting to sign key players last minute. I wonder if more players are gonna start waiting in hopes of an offer sheet
Bernard is next and so is roberston
Ducks shouldn’t match. This will be the highest cap percentage a player has ever taken. More than Crosby and Ovechkin in 2008. Carlson won’t even be a top 10 center next season. And it’s not like that Flyers lineup scares anybody. They’ll have to disassemble when Martone and Michkov’s contracts are up. Those are probably four mid-1sts you receive. Quality trade assets right as McDavid, Draisaitl, and Matthews are hitting the trade market. Meanwhile, Thomas, Hintz, and Larkin are already available.
Really want to see somebody pick Fantilli off Columbus’ carcass
