The Ducks offered Carlsson an 8-year deal worth around $10.5M AAV back in September. Keators turned down that offer to take time to figure out where the marketplace was going.

Matt & Ryan Keator, who represent Leo Carlsson. They take us through the last 10 months -- from negotiations with Anaheim to the offer sheet.
Great answers to terrible questions.

David Pagnotta: Re Ducks/Leo Carlsson situation: Starting Sunday we started to hear Alex Killorn's name out there, Frank Vatrano's name; they're willing to attach a draft pick; there's a lot that the Ducks need to do here - The Sheet (7/8)
Elliotte Friedman: According to several sources, the Ducks and Leo Carlsson’s representatives held a call hours before the offer sheet dropped. Anaheim’s offer was believed to be between $12-$13 million - Sportsnet (7/3)
Michael Russo & Joe Smith: Re Mats Zuccarello: There’s a very good bet he’d test free agency; The Kings and Ducks would both make sense - The Athletic (6/27)
San Diego Gulls are eliminated from the AHL Calder Cup Playoffs.
I'd expect a handful of Black Aces call-ups to Anaheim in the morning.

The Ducks are currently losing 2–1 to the Wild, who played yesterday and are without their best players.
If they lose this game, it will be their 8th loss in their last 9 games.
This is far from an ideal scenario heading into the playoffs.
Absolutely inexcusable to be getting outworked by the worst team in the NHL on the second half of a back to back with a playoff spot on the line. Somebody give em a kick in the ass.
