Flyers forced the Ducks into one of the NHL’s worst contracts
The Philadelphia Flyers shook up the hockey world when they tendered a five-year, $90 million offer sheet to Leo Carlsson earlier this month. Of course, the Anaheim Ducks went on to match the offer sheet to retain their restricted free agent, but it didn’t go without Pat Verbeek feeling some pressure.

Trevor Zegras reacts to the Flyers’ failed Leo Carlsson offer sheet
The Philadelphia Flyers rattled the entire hockey world earlier this summer. By sending Leo Carlsson a historic, $90-million offer sheet, they picked up the millions of players and coaches and other people involved in the game and threw their head around to give them images of what a new NHL could look like. It was an exciting six days before the Anaheim Ducks eventually matched the offer sheet and kept their 21-year-old star center, but it certainly was a sign that the Flyers are trying ...
Trevor Zegras explains why this contract negotiation was completely different
Trevor Zegras became an instant fan favorite in his first season with the Philadelphia Flyers. The Long Island native returned to the East Coast and brought the sunshine of Anaheim with him. He put up 41 points in as many games to start last season, hanging up the phone on his former team to cap off the first half. Things were hit and miss from there, with Zegras and the Flyers getting hot again in March and April to make the playoffs, a first for the forward and a first for Philadel...

In fact, he told the media recently that he'd still like to land a "big-time player" to bolster the power play: Daniel Briere on potentially adding a big-name player to improve the Philadelphia Flyers' power play...
