Episode Details

The Anaheim Ducks just dropped a blockbuster offseason bombshell by matching a massive offer sheet for Leo Carlsson, locking him in for five years and making him the highest-paid player in the league — a move that’ll reshape their salary cap and force tough decisions like whether to trade for Cutter Gauthier. Meanwhile, defenseman Pavel Mintyukov signed a lucrative five-year deal, Tyson Hinds gets his first full NHL season on a two-year extension, and Marcus Nordmark joins on an entry-level contract headed to the AHL. The Ducks also unveiled a game-themed schedule video for the upcoming season. Over in San Diego, the Gulls extended GM Rick Paterson — a 20+ year veteran who’s built a powerhouse development system — and promoted Dave Manson to head coach, giving them a seasoned leader to push for deeper playoff runs. With big moves and new leadership across both teams, the Ducks’ rebuild is accelerating — and the hockey world is watching closely.
