Episode Details

Leo Carlsson is staying with the Anaheim Ducks after a wild week that saw him nearly leave for a nine-million-dollar Flyers offer — only for the Ducks to match it, turning his biggest contract decision into a triumphant homecoming. The 2023 second-overall pick, who led the Ducks in points and tied for second in playoff scoring, called Anaheim home and found overwhelming support from teammates. Ducks GM Pat Verbeek revealed they were blindsided by the offer’s size but matched it after internal talks, even offering four first-round picks as compensation — a move that brought relief to Carlsson and his mom. Now, with a massive contract secured, Carlsson remains focused on growth, acknowledging room for improvement in consistency and strength, while staying grounded and committed to playing his best every night.
