Seven NHL teams were chasing Leo Carlsson before the Flyers’ record-breaking 90-million-dollar, five-year offer sheet — which would’ve made him the highest-paid player in the league — sent shockwaves through the league. Anaheim matched it in seven days, keeping their young star who lit up the league with 29 goals and 67 points last season despite injuries. Even the Ducks’ GM was stunned by the contract’s size. Carlsson, the 2023 second overall pick, said he always wanted to stay in Anaheim. Now, the Ducks still have business to handle, including re-signing defenseman Pavel Mintyukov and navigating Cutter Gauthier’s restricted free agency. This frenzy proves how much talent and hype can turn a player into a league-wide obsession — and how desperate teams are to keep their next superstar.
