The lesson of the Carlsson offer sheet is bet on your young player’s coming out of their ELC and do not wait to get business done. Anaheim was notorious being tough in negotiations, and credit to Carlsson’s representatives who maximized the value of their client. I’m sure the league does not like the Flyers right now. I believe the ripple effect will be seen with other players such as Makar and Hughes. Will they take a “hometown discount” when a 21 year old center just became the highest paid player in the league. I look forward to watching the chaos.
If I’m Danny, I’m already reaching out to Mityukov’s agent with an offer sheet for the highest amount for tier 2, 11.923 mil p/yr, heavily front loaded, for a full 5 years. They can’t match both and we need a #1 D as much as a #1 C. As soon as they match Leo, I sign Mityukov and get my Dman of the future, and for less then 4 #1 picks. (2 #1’s and 2nd and a 3rd). Verbeek really left himself wide open for this. It should probably cost him his job.
we are too late on that one now. we couldn’t have do it anyway at the $7.4M cap that it cost Anaheim. I still think they match on LC but I hope I am wrong!!

There is a real cost to a team “retaliating” via a future offer sheet: They would need to offer up a contract for a player that is big enough that the Flyers would, at minimum, consider not matching. No team is going to do that just “for a friend”. Will Anaheim pull something in that regard like the Canes did to the Habs? Possible, but unlikely. The “retaliation” risk here isn’t really offer sheets to future Flyer RFA’s: It’s other GM’s being wary of working with Briere going forward. That’s why, I believe, Carlsson’s agent (almost 100% surely) “leaked” that 3 other teams were prepared to submit offer sheets for Carlsson as well…That gives Briere cover as “if it wasn’t him, it would have been someone else” comes into play.
I agree totally. I think teams will still worry about themselves first (as they should).

Percentage of likely cap for Carlsson over length of deal. It’s a lot for one guy, even one that likely solves your 1C problem for at least a half decade. Gonna be tight too.
17.31%
15.79%
14.52%
13.43%
12.50%Doesn’t this open Pandora’s box? For the price tag alone I would expect retaliation. If not directly from Anaheim, then from a friend of a friend.
The Flyers tendered a five-year, $90 million ($18 million AAV) front-loaded offer sheet to Leo Carlsson.The Ducks have until July 10 to match or decline.
