After signing defenseman Pavel Mintyukov to a $36 million contract, the Anaheim Ducks face significant cap constraints, positioning the Philadelphia Flyers favorably to pursue Leo Carlsson via an offer sheet. The Ducks have only $9.973 million left to re-sign key players like Cutter Gauthier, making it difficult to retain both him and Carlsson. The Flyers, with a more manageable cap situation, aim to capitalize on this dilemma, betting on Carlsson as a long-term asset while strengthening their roster. This scenario highlights the Ducks’ precarious position, as losing Carlsson would further weaken their already diminished core.
