Before we get too carried away with the Leo Carlsson offer sheet fallout… should the Philadelphia Flyers shift their attention to Adam Fantilli?
With the Anaheim Ducks matching Danny Briere’s offer sheet for Leo Carlsson, the Flyers are still searching for a true franchise center. Could Adam Fantilli become Philadelphia’s next big target, and what would it take to make a blockbuster trade happen?

So disappointing
Sure why not
How does Columbus have a team and Quebec doesn't?
NO. Bedard >>> Fantilli !!!
Sign Zegras and Drysdale ,trade Risto Luchanko 1 2028 and 2 2027 for Dylan Cozens .No Fantilli .Danny offer Leo best center NHL in future great muve 😊😊
same offer but for 4 years
if they match he’s a ufa in 4 years
he’s NOT a tier down
look at GP, G, & A
almost the same and he didn’t have a 40 goal scorer playing with him (or a 30 G scorer for that matter)
make it 18m…columbus will match at 15/16 all day long
columbus IS bad
Is Jett Luchanko near ready?? How does he go from impressing during training camp a year ago to now?
I would rather make a trade and get the guy that you want instead of just settling for Adam fratelli
I think they stand pat and wait patiently until the next opportunity arises, BUT it’s a business.. we aren’t here to make friends. It would be fun to see lol.
Ultimately if offer sheets go out to Bedard or fantilli… both teams easily match.
If it were me. I'd stay put. We won the first round and have so much room under the cap. Face it, Nothing will change next year anyways. Stay put, see what turns up before the trade deadline next year. We're gonna be good with plenty of money. Let's be WISE with the money.
At this point, sign Zegras and Drysdale, and see what you have. Wait until next year when you have more cap room. Maybe even trade both firsts next year to move up in the draft and get a center or d.
Hes significantly worse than Carlsson so hopefully not
No, at this point… the only offer sheet worth extending would be a max contract offer for Connor Bedard, but Chicago would match it instantaneously. There's no other team in the NHL with a young star-level center that was as pinched by the cap as the Ducks were or as poorly run as that lowly franchise. The Carlsson offer sheet was a once-in-a-generation opportunity that won't come back around again. The only viable path the Flyers had to get these kinds of players were to follow The Process – which they easily could have done a few years ago to initiate the rebuild correctly – so they had shots at the 1st overall pick. They chose the much more difficult path of getting good enough to make their way into the purgatory of being a mid team that won't have enough talent to ever win sustainably, i.e. too bad to become a bonafide cup contender but too good to ever come close to even entering the draft lottery for a shot to draft difference-makers. Yes, the offer sheet was very strategic, but they backed themselves into this corner after they decided not to tank and go this route, which was a much more consequential strategic blunder. The Flyers only have themselves to blame for the situation they're in.
Best thing about all this is Anaheim is screwed long term. Good luck Gauthier playing with scrub city.
Do morons really think it’s wise for Danny to piss off EVERY GM in the league?
It’s called tact, Kelly.
Hopefully they don't go for Fantilli..
Columbus has the space and will match
No, he’s -30 in three seasons so far
Probably looks a bit desperate, no?
Look for trades and beg the universe for a horrible season from Toronto.
Flyers would be lucky to get Fantilli. They shouldn't offer as much as they did for Carlsson though
Better to try and trade for him
