Flyers Tender Stunning Offer Sheet to Ducks Star Leo Carlsson
- On Friday, the Philadelphia Flyers signed restricted free-agent forward Leo Carlsson to a five-year, $90 million offer sheet, making him the highest-paid player in the National Hockey League with an $18 million average annual value.
- The 21-year-old center tallied 29 goals and 67 points in 70 games for the Anaheim Ducks last season, establishing himself as a cornerstone of the franchise after a breakout campaign.
- Should the Ducks decline to match within seven days, they receive the Flyers' first-round pick in each of the next four NHL drafts as compensation.
- Anaheim previously told everyone they would match any offer sheet for Carlsson, and the organization now faces a critical seven-day deadline to decide whether to retain their star center.
- Offer sheets remain historically rare in the NHL, with only five signed by restricted free agents since 2020, making this transaction a significant departure in roster management strategy.

Flyers’ Leo Carlsson offer sheet was their Hail Mary this offseason
It’s hard to acquire elite talent in the NHL, especially so at the center position. We’ve seen the Flyers come up a little short in recent days trying their hand: Zach Werenski, Darnell Nurse, Mavrik Bourque, and John Carlson all might have slipped through their fingers. There’s a good explanation for each of them, but when all else failed, the Flyers broke the unwritten rules with a massive front-loaded offer sheet. Leo Carlsson’s offer sheet i…
