Leo Carlson reading the contract AAV: ๐๏ธ๐๐๏ธ
What if the ducks offer sheet Martone
So, if Iโm the Ducks, I call Detroit and see if you can get Larkin. Is Leoโs ceiling higher than Larkin? Yes. Is he twice as good? Nope.
Flyers reset the market adn they are gonna be feeling the pain of their actions when they have to pay Michkov 17 mil nxt year
Ducks match……have fun handing him 39 MILLION YEAR 1 still have 3 other big players to resign verbeek needs to work out a trade to save this
Did Briere just launch a grenade into the NHL with this?
The narrative that Danny Briere screwed us is totally bogus. Verbeek and Leo Carlsson share equal fault as the people screwing the Ducks over. Verbeek should have given Leo his first ask on July 1st along with Gauthier. Also, Leo has now shown definitively that he is one of those players for whom getting paid is priority number one, not winning.
I Hope Leo is ready to have every mistake he makes on and off the ice scrutinized moving forward. This is the price you pay for putting your own financial wellbeing over everything else.
The Ducks do have good young players waiting in the wings that can play at the NHL level. Verbeek may have to make some moves and shed some draft capitol to entice teams to take one or two vets such as Killorn and Vatrano. Getting rid of their cap hit would allow the Ducks to pay Gauthier, Mintyukov and Hinds with some money left over….maybe.
With how cheap the ducks are, I definitely donโt see them matching. Especially with the front loaded bonuses. Masterful work by Danny.
This was some cold-hearted shit from Philly. Super fun for all of us other fans but ugh, Ducks fans are hating it right now.
will be worst contact in the league next year…. thank god jesse blake is not in charge of my team… overpaying is the best way to never win a championship.. gimme the 4 1sts any day
Why would anyone spend $18M on a player? None of the teams signing these huge contracts are ever going to win a Cup. Take the picks. That's a boat anchor contract. However if they wanted to let him go and then go after a franchise player Robertson in Dallas would probaby like to go back to California…
As a Ducks fan, would add that Carlsson was on pace for 120 points early last season before he started having injury problems
They should absolutely not match. Take the picks and send a message to the rest of the team including Gauthier and Sennecke that Anaheim won't be doing that.
If they match, they're gonna lose Gauthier and maybe Mintyukov the exact same way.
We got the 2nd Ducks rebuild before GTA 6
I guess the Ducks need Larkin now
The offer is insane but it is still very creative and within the rules and I think itโs worth it attempting it with some serious ownership approval to make the offer ๐ but itโs worth it for him and the flyers are in need
Someone has to explain to me how is it that the whole Flyers management group did not get fired for this. This is the most ridiculous signing I have ever seen, maybe in any sport.
All I got is… ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐… 18M times.
I'm drunk but Granlund 7mil๐ฎ PS. Og lacrosse goal against Russia in IIHF in semi-final…
Remember when Jesperi Kotkaniemi was Montreal… Carolina made offer sheet and when blues takes few Oilers.๐ฎ
Pat Verbeek should be fired. Poor asset management. These GMs does not know whats going on.
As one of the dozens of Ducks fans, Jesse, you really made me feel better about the situation. Verbeek got a stupid prize after playing a stupid game, now he needs to swallow the pill and salvage the situation. Itโs possible, but what a ridiculous situation that Verbeek could have avoided.
Fml
Mispronounced hinds. Itโs pronounced HIGH-nds
No back and forth.
gotta love seeing a penny pincher (Pat Verbeek) get pinched
The balls of Danny Briere must be made of vibranium
How long till the next CBA?
They won't pay 18, theyll take the picks and go to Robertson witha 14-15 mil offer and trade Killorn for a center.
Match and trade.
Teemu would've never signed that offer sheet. Verbeek and Leo can both flock off
This feels like a giant middle finger to Pat Verbeek from the player and agent๐ ๐ ๐
Take the picks and use some of them to get EP40. Saddle the Flyers with this monstrous contract and return the favor with offersheets to Porter Martone and Michkov when their deals are up.
Thank you for explaining how offer sheets work!
Could Carlson change his mind?
