@butzy14@McGuiness1015@EvanAtkinsNHL There’s interviews from during the season. Carlson said he would sign for 9.5 mil
Verbeek slept on it and is now paying the price.
He had since July 1 2025 to resign Carlson.
@McGuiness1015@EvanAtkinsNHL Or maybe the GMs with the pending RFAs need to do a better job so they aren’t in this situation
Verbeek had plenty of opportunity to sign him well under this amount.
@srobichaud8@chrispronger “If” they match, the ducks will need to have almost 20 million to hand over on the day it’s matched. since the ducks never give out signing bonuses, wouldn’t be surprised if they let him go to Philly or work out a side trade.
@P__Airoldi That 40 mil is most likely in some sort of investment. He coughs that up in one/two pay check, he loses a lot more than the number on the check. Theres a reason Verbeek hasn’t given out a single contract with a signing bonus.
@ShawnHMcGregor@Flyers_Clips Guaranteed security, same reason Foerster signed 8 years. Injury or down year you miss out on big guaranteed $$
Of course it takes two to make a deal, but just pointing out flyers have been blocking up their RFA’s early as I’m sure the ducks only wish they did at this point.
@ShawnHMcGregor@Flyers_Clips Unless the flyers lock martone up well in advance like they did for foerster
Ducks had plenty of opportunities to prevent this from even being a possibility.
@_ChrisMaher Not the end of the world, it’s a low Low risk move. Not giving up any assets, Will not seek huge $$ and term contract. Still useful.
This still gives them flexibility for the big splash
@jachobe@weezlec Exactly. Always two sides of the story.
Philly needs him just like we needed Jake!
Call him up JV and convince this guy Philly is the place to be… please 🤣
@ZiggyWumpus@USANumberOne_@DCPoliceUnion Since you are not(?) do they need you to think for them or speak for them? Are they incapable of such thinking or actions
@prodigy_leclair@BigHeadHcky Ok, soooo Hutson also averages 6 more minutes of ice time per game than michkov…. By your logic, how many points would MM have if ice time was equal?
