Leo Carlsson is staying with the Ducks after they matched a jaw-dropping five-year, $90 million offer from the Flyers, making him one of the league’s highest-paid players. Hockey Hall of Famer Chris Pronger compares Carlsson’s situation to Darnell Nurse’s, warning that big contracts often draw more scrutiny than performance — but he also calls Carlsson a “budding star” with massive upside. Despite battling a serious thigh injury last season, Carlsson still delivered 67 points in 70 games and 11 points in 12 playoff contests. Pronger admits fans and execs sometimes fixate on the salary, ignoring a player’s true value — and he admits he’s guilty of that too. With Carlsson locked in, the Flyers must now look elsewhere for a franchise center, as top centers rarely hit the open market.
