In a historic contract move, the Anaheim Ducks successfully matched a record-breaking offer sheet from the Philadelphia Flyers for their restricted free agent forward Leo Carlsson. As a result, Carlsson will now be under contract with the Ducks for the next five seasons, starting in the 2026-27 NHL season and ending in 2031, with a salary cap hit of $18 million.
Head coach Joel Quenneville expressed his happiness for Carlsson, acknowledging the shock of the offer sheet, but also commended Beeker (Pat Verbeek) for handling the situation well. Quenneville emphasized that Carlsson should continue his approach to the game and not change himself due to the significant salary increase. The Ducks, along with Carlsson, are set to open training camp later this month and take on the San Jose Sharks in preseason action on September 20th.
