ParticipantFlyers trying to steal the title of stupidest contract in the NHL offering Leo Carlsson 18 million AAV over 5 years. They’d have to give up four 1st round picks too.
Absolutely retarded. If that ends up happening, kiss Matthews goodbye. He’ll command 20 million by time he’s an UFA.

Participantdamn
thats somethingPhiladelphia Flyers
@NHLFlyers
We have tendered an offer sheet to Anaheim center Leo Carlsson. The offer is a five-year contract worth an average annual value (AAV) of $18M, which would require four of the Flyers first-round draft picks in each of the next four seasons as compensation.July 3, 2026 at 2:25 pm #76973Unholy_Goalie

Participantsaying “literally the same”, and then except for swapping Carlo for Raddysh is some great work lol
Last season Benoit played 73 games, he is also gone. Carlo was a pilon. thats a decent differenceRaddysh pushing Rielly down the d depth is good. and he might still be traded.
Myers also played 39 games. as it stands the the D is going to be a very different lookClaiming VERY DIFFERENT when one of six guys on the depth chart changed is great work.
Rielly, OEL, Tanev, McCabe, Stetcher…yes, 5 of the 6 on the depth chart right now are literally all the same guys are back again. Defensively, the Leafs are just as weak as they were last year as of right now. They’re all a year older and just as likely to get hurt as they ever were.
Carlo was a pylon defensively in Toronto (but wasn’t in Boston, funny how that goes) and Raddysh is 30+, and known to not be very fast or a very good defender either. He’s had ONE good offensive season in the NHL playing with a multiple time Art Ross winner in front of him and a current Vezina winner behind him. Not a surprise Tampa Bay sent him to the Leafs like an anchor (much like Nick Paul) and replaced him with a cheaper and equally effective option in John Carlson. Playing without Vasilevskiy behind him and hard minutes might not go as well as they do in your blue and white dreams especially if they get the Bob of last year at 38-41.
Myers played and Benoit played because Tanev was hurt which is what Tanev has been most of his career so it’s expected to happen again and again until he’s got his own home on Robidas Island next to Muzzin Manor. Tanev is as vulnerable as ever and older than ever. He’s one hit away from Myers or some other pylon being thrown back into the line-up. And guess what, Myers, Rifai and Mermis are all still under contract so they’re likely back again at some point again. Andrae is tiny and not signed yet and Villeneuve is also unsigned. Neither seem to have a spot in the line-up because Rielly is still here and neither would be that big of an improvement either.
The D is not very different and Rielly isn’t going anywhere. Chayka gave up on it because he thinks Rielly is worth an asset and nobody wants to give anything up for Rielly in the only locations he’s willing to go to, otherwise he’d be gone by now. The majority of the quality players they could have signed are gone now so while subtracting Rielly would be a positive defensively, there’s almost nobody left to spend the cap space on.

ParticipantThe D is literally exactly the same except for swapping Carlo for Raddysh. The D won’t really be better until Rielly is gone and isn’t a bunch of injury prone dinosaurs.
Leafs have actually become the 2nd oldest team in the NHL. I think their current average age is 30.64 years old. For a team that complained about injuries last year, they only got older. It’s becoming the late Pat Quinn days where every deal was for a guy on his Toronto pension plan.

ParticipantAnd what does that make Viggo Bjorck? 5’7″?
McKenna is listed at 170 and he looks 150. It’s all nebulous.
he was measured at the combine also 5’9

ParticipantSo far, I’m impressed with the job that Chayka and Sundin have done. It’s a complete culture change. Out with the smaller, weaker players, in with size and durability. The Leafs now have a future, where 2 months ago, they looked dead on arrival. Amazing how a ping pong ball can change the future of a franchise. The Leafs were looking at giving up the 6th overall draft pick to Boston and their team was in the toilet. It looked like a 10 year rebuild on the horizon. Today, their forward group is strong. The defense needs work, but the defense is better than the end of the 2026 season and their goaltending looks stronger, as well. The farm team did the impossible and became Calder Cup Champions and the Leafs got the 1st overall pick. I think McKenna should change his number to 12.

ParticipantStenberg has to be around 5’9″, in the pictures of the top 3 picks beside Mckenna he looks a bit shorter and Mckenna is listed as 5’11 like Stenberg.
I cant find it now but Stenberg was standing beside another prospect who was measured at the combine and was 5’11, and stenberg was not measured. he was clearly and inch or 2 shorter.just an observation. Stenberg is def stalkier than most for a 5’9ish
