Ducks at Deadline: Carlsson, Cap, and Gauthier | Anaheim Ducks News

The Anaheim Ducks are in a frantic cap crunch with just three days left before deadline, after the Flyers’ offer sheet for Leo Carlsson and recent big signings like Pavel Mintyukov and Tyson Hinds have squeezed their finances. With only $9M left under the cap and star forward Cutter Gauthier likely commanding $7.8M–$8.5M, GM Pat Verbeek faces a brutal choice: match Carlsson’s offer and risk losing Gauthier, or let Carlsson go and hope to re-sign the young scorer later. Moves involving veterans like Vatrano, Killorn, or Kreider may be on the table — time is running out.
