@philly4for4_91 @ParlayPope @DabbyDuck5 @AnaheimDucks Ducks can give Cutter longer term, coming close to that 90M and keeping down the AAV.

Also, Cutter cannot be offer-sheeted.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@DucksNPucks The best now is all the cope from Flyers fans. Like "Ducks can't sign Cutter now" Ok, sure. lol.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@philly4for4_91 @ParlayPope @DabbyDuck5 @AnaheimDucks Carlsson is shaping up to be a Two-way franchise 1C. A MacKinnon/Barkov hybrid. If anything Cutter should be making less than him. Ducks have 3 Vet contracts they can look at to jettison if needed.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@Pepperoni465251 @DenverSuttie @AnaheimDucks Verbeek low balled him. Would have taken 15M and not sign the offer-sheet. This is 100% on Verbeek. Flyers didn't just F the Ducks they F'd the entire league. Guys like Bedard and Celebrini gonna get like 20M+

@psutrain @ParlayPope @AnaheimDucks Cap going up 20 million next two years will be fine

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

Match: worry about the cap situation down the road. which can be managed. Cap going up a lot the next two years

Don’t match: Ducks are sent back at least 3 years on their rebuild with no future franchise 1C and could take another 10 years to find one. Carlsson projecting to be better than Getzlaf.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@NHLMedia @AnaheimDucks Hopefully the giant elephant in the room is addressed because he may be a casualty of it. Flyers and Briere really need to be exiled to the arctic circle or preferably the Bermuda Triangle. lol

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

Looking at the future. If he is a 90-100 point two way C, is it worth it? His projected path is already surpassing Getzlaf. Cap is going up by like 20 million the next two years. Plus, could see him taking a cheap deal after this one. It won't be Verbeek making those negotiations. If anything, he needs to be fired after this. Leo got low-balled, his camp told Verbeek about the Offer-sheet offers, and they wanted to come back at 15 million. Verbeek said no.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@Leafs_Universe @Duxfan949 @AnaheimDucks all good. I was angry with Leo at first, but after reading the whole story, Verbeek really low-balled him. His agent is trying to get the most money, it's a business.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@theducks2007 @ZachCav I don't think there will be a fallout. Cutter is partly responsible for Philly doing this. This was a payback move. Him taking a team friendly deal to help the cap situation, will stick it once again to the Flyers and their fans.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@Leafs_Universe @Duxfan949 @AnaheimDucks He low balled the Ducks future Franchise 1C, and didn't take an offer-sheet threat seriously. If he had come back with a counter, after the offer-sheets (17.5M and 18M) were made to Carlsson's camp, this would not have happened.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@MattA1100 @AnaheimDucks Carlsson is the best 1C the Ducks have had since Getzlaf. So want to wait another 10+ years? Sweet!

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@tomjohn756376 @AnaheimDucks You want to wait another 5 to 10 years for a Franchise 1C like this to show up? Carlsson is looking like the best overall player in his draft that includes Bedard. Those picks from Philly are going to be mid to late 1sts.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@ZachCav Trade one of Kreider or Vatrano, and have plenty to extend Cutter. Cap going up 20 million the next two years. Can worry about Beckett and roster improvements then.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@DucksNPucks Need his cap space to help sign Cutter.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@NHLRumourReport Then why did Leo's camp come back to negotiate after the offer-sheet was made and ask for 15 million? Maybe 14M and 7 years gets it done. Verbeek is to blame, as are the trash organization known as the Flyers for blowing up the RFA market.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@ZachCav @gablebrandon Verbeek is known for short changing his RFA's and Carlsson's agent didn't want this to drag like with McTavish, Drysdale, and Zegras. Could have countered with 14M and 6/7 years, and would still be 90M. Don't think Leo signs that offer-sheet then. Verbeek F'd up badly.

[Leo1987 @MMars1978]

@ZachCav Cap gonna be going up 20 million over the next two years. Top players in the league are going to re-signing for well over 20 million over the next 2 to 3 years.
