The Philadelphia Flyers have tendered a five-year offer sheet to Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson, reportedly worth $18 million annually. As a restricted free agent, the Ducks have seven days to match the offer. If they choose not to, the Flyers would owe four first-round picks as compensation.
Carlsson, drafted second overall in 2023, had a breakout season with 29 goals and 67 points in 70 games, contributing to the Ducks' playoff run. His potential signing would make him the highest-paid player in the NHL, surpassing Leon Draisaitl's $14 million average annual value.
