Is Adam Fantilli next for an offer sheet? Arace and Porty break it down | Cannon Balls

Anyway, we'll get to that, but we're going to start where, uh, Well, where the buzz is, I hate to use the word buzz, but, you know, the NHL world, I don't think it's – and, you know, in a large part, a good chunk of that is Jacketville.

Has its eyes trained on what's going to happen with Leo Carlson.

Of course, on July 1st or 2nd, it was Friday.

So today's Wednesday, the 8th, Friday, the Philadelphia Flyers tendered center Leo Carlson.

a five-year deal worth 90 million dollars and i i think i read that 40 million of it was basically coming in the first year 38

million is paid in the first 12 months if you so the bonuses this immediately the bone the first year salary and then the bonus is next year so july 1.

So we haven't heard anything from Pat Verbeek.

And as you just said off the air, it's tough on any day to get anything out of Pat Verbeek, a great former Whaler, by the way.

Captain, he was the captain of the Whalers when Pierre Maguire was coaching the team.

And I believe his quote was something along the lines of, when Pierre got fired, Verbeek said something like, we just got better.

Mm-hmm.

You know, that's a tough one.

But I digress.

We have a lot of Pierre Maguire fans in the house, as you know, for Pierre Maguire.

Big fans here in the A-Race house.

Pierre Maguire.

So, Leo Carlson, five years, $90 million.

What's the AAV on that? $19 million? 18.

18, which would make him the highest paid player in the NHL at age 20, 20 or 21, coming off his ELC.

Of course, that sent shivers through the league, Aaron.

Tell us why.

I mean, let's just go over it again.

The offer sheet goes out to Leo Carlson.

Put us in Pat Verbeek's shoes and put us in the shoes of Daniel Breer and Keith Jones, the brain trust in Philadelphia.

Yeah.
