Philadelphia Flyers have placed a bid for a five-year contract worth 18 million dollars per season on Swedish player Leo Carlsson.
The offer from the Philadelphia Flyers would make Carlsson the highest-paid player in the entire NHL if accepted.
Leo Carlsson, 21, was drafted second overall in 2023 by the Anaheim Ducks. He has not yet reached a new contract agreement with Anaheim.
Sources state the bid equals just over 173 million kronor per season.
Initial reactions on X to the Flyers' $18M offer sheet for Leo Carlsson show shock at the record amount, excitement over attracting talent to Philly, humorous takes on the boldness, discussions on cap impacts for other stars, and some skepticism about long-term planning.

But my biggest takeaway…
Leo Carlsson signed it!
He is willing to come to Philly.
I know it’s a lot of money, but it also shows that the Flyers are a place stars want to come to again.
