Ducks match Flyers' $90 million offer sheet for Leo Carlsson

The Anaheim Ducks have matched the Philadelphia Flyers' five-year, $90 million offer sheet for Leo Carlsson, confirming the decision on July 9, 2026. The Flyers had made significant moves in free agency, preparing to make Carlsson the NHL's highest-paid player. Anaheim's match means they will retain Carlsson but must navigate a tighter salary cap, with approximately $9 million left for additional roster moves. The Ducks still need to address the re-signing of restricted free agents, including Cutter Gauthier.
