Flyers make stunning offer sheet for Ducks star Leo Carlsson in blockbuster NHL move

One of the most fun things about the NHL is the specter of offer sheets hanging over teams with highly-prized restricted free agents, as was the case this year for the Anaheim Ducks and 21-year-old Swedish superstar Leo Carlsson.

While the Ducks have maintained they'll match any offer sheet, they may not have been prepared for the monster offer Philadelphia Flyers GM Danny Briere was willing to make.

Five years with an AAV of $18 million, which would make Carlsson the highest-paid player in the league.
