The Anaheim Ducks matched the Philadelphia Flyers' offer sheet to Leo Carlsson last Thursday, signing him to an $18 million average annual value over five seasons. The Ducks now face salary cap challenges, with approximately $9 million in remaining space to re-sign 41-goal left winger Cutter Gauthier, and may need to trade a veteran contract or place Troy Terry on long-term injury reserve to create cap flexibility. The Flyers, having lost the offer sheet gamble, have limited options to upgrade their No. 1 center position.
These young players are getting paid too much, if you ask me. I still remember when the best players signed for peanuts and won championships. Now they get contracts like that and can't even finish their checks, @TransactionWire should know better than to print this stuff.
