The Philadelphia Flyers tender a five-year, $90 million offer sheet to Anaheim Ducks restricted free agent Leo Carlsson, according to multiple reports. The deal carries an average annual value of $18 million, which makes Carlsson the highest-paid player in the NHL for the current salary structure. Under the NHL collective bargaining agreement, Anaheim has seven days to decide whether to match the offer. If the Ducks do not match, Philadelphia would receive compensation in the form of four first-round draft picks from the Flyers for each of the next four seasons. While some coverage frames the move as significant within the league, the practical timeline and terms are consistent across outlets: Flyers file the offer sheet, Ducks have a one-week matching window, and draft pick compensation would follow if Anaheim declines. The Athletic notes that the offer sheet is likely to be matched, but also emphasizes that it creates broader implications for the Flyers, the Ducks, and the league. The immediate focus remains on Anaheim’s decision within the deadline.
