The Anaheim Ducks just made NHL history by matching a record-breaking offer sheet for Leo Carlsson, securing the young phenom at a staggering $18 million per year — the highest annual salary in league history. Despite the Flyers’ massive bid that would’ve netted the Ducks four first-round picks, owner Henry Samueli called it an easy decision: Carlsson’s talent, potential, and leadership are too valuable to lose. Drafted second overall in 2023, Carlsson’s already shattered team records — youngest to hit 50 goals and 100 points — and followed up his rookie year with 20 goals and 45 points in 2024-25, becoming the youngest Ducks player ever to reach the 20-goal mark. This deal isn’t just about stats — it’s about building a legacy.
