How Ducks' Leo Carlsson’s Offer Sheet Affects The NHL’s Top Remaining RFAs

Leo Carlsson made sure he got paid. On Friday, the Philadelphia Flyers tendered Carlsson a five-year, $18 million average annual value offer sheet, a contract that could reshape the NHL landscape.

Whether the Anaheim Ducks elect to match the offer sheet or let him go and receive four first-round picks, one thing guaranteed is that Carlson will become the NHL’s highest-paid player.

This is the second offer sheet we’ve seen this season, as the New Jersey Devils tendered a one-year, $4,775,000 offer sheet to Barrett Hayton. Like the Ducks, the Utah Mammoth are put in a difficult situation, but the levels that Carlsson and Hayton are at are very different.

There are plenty of NHL stars who are RFAs and still waiting to sign a contract extension with their teams. After the Philadelphia Flyers tendered an offer sheet for the Anaheim Ducks' Leo Carlsson, how does that affect the other RFAs?
