During their last season together in Utah, Collin Sexton generated more assists by passing to Walker Kessler than any other Jazz player.
I've been critical of the Sexton signing in general due to team defensive concerns/contract but he absolutely lives in the paint & has a built-in connection with LA's biggest summer acquisition.
That's not to say Sexton is a pass-first player but when he does look to pass he loves finding Kessler.
I like LeBron’s fit with the Wolves, but I don’t like LaMelo Ball. I think he’s a low iq player that can win or lose you big games, who also has no playoff experience.
He could’ve easily done that in LA last season before picking up his $51M player option. Told the Lakers build a better team. Dude can’t eat all cap space and want a contender with this Salary Cap rules. He knows better than anyone.
So not only are the Flyers making Leo Carlsson the highest paid player in the NHL, they’ve forced the Ducks to walk him straight to UFA in the process.
This is diabolical. Danny Briere’s playing offense and I love it.
The Philadelphia Flyers signed Leo Carlsson to an offer sheet worth $18M AAV 🤯
I have a lot of thoughts on this move by Danny Briere and the Flyers. Donthe Anaheim Ducks match? Share your thoughts 👇

Worth every cent and draft pick AND THEN SOME.
Flyers fans, whether this works out or not your GM deserves massive praise for taking a swing at a 20 year old superstar.
