Claude Giroux to re-sign in Ottawa after false report of Flyers reunion
The Philadelphia Flyers will not be reuniting with former captain Claude Giroux. It was reported on Friday afternoon that Giroux would be returning to Philadelphia , but that was never confirmed, as the veteran weighed his options with a few teams in the mix. NHL insider Elliotte Friedman then reported on Monday night that Giroux would be returning not to Philadelphia, but to Ottawa. He will return to Ottawa, it is getting done https://t.co/LotkjuqKD6 — Elliotte Friedman (...
Major Turn Of Events As Claude Giroux Finally Makes Free Agency Decision
With insiders the past couple of days calling Claude Giroux's reunion back in Philadelphia "inevitable", it didn't seem like a return to Ottawa was in the cards. But after thinking about it for an extra 72 hours, Giroux has decided to return to the Senators for one more season.

Tyson Foerster loves the Flyers’ Leo Carlsson offer sheet
Everything surrounding the Philadelphia Flyers and the entire hockey world right now has to do with their offer sheet of star center Leo Carlsson. Aside from the Flyers potentially landing their No. 1 center for at least the next five years, by sending over the $90-million offer sheet they have potentially changed the entire landscape of the NHL . It’s created a buzz that is permeating through every single transaction from here on out — maybe now young stars are going to demand the contracts t...
Report: Blue Jackets Adam Fantilli A Target Of The Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers' bold move to offer sheet Anaheim Ducks top-line center Leo Carlsson has sent reverberations throughout the NHL. The move has reset baseline contracts for other players in his draft class, including Connor Bedard and Adam Fantilli. All three were drafted with the first three picks in the draft: Carlsson after Bedard, and Fantilli the 3rd OA pick in 2023. His trajectory hasn't been the same as his peers, as we've seen this season where Carlsson would begin to...
Bold Proposal Would See Ducks Lose Carlsson But Gain Two Top-6 Centers
The Anaheim Ducks are faced with a massive dilemma this week: To match, or not to match, the insane $18 million AAV offer sheet signed by Leo Carlsson with the Philadelphia Flyers. If they choose not to match, the Flyers would have to send their next four first-round picks in the NHL Draft to the Ducks as compensation. It's still a good bet for Philly, as none of those mid-to-lower-first-round picks will come close to being another Leo Carlsson. It's the old 'best player in the deal wins...
Why the Ducks shouldn’t match the Flyers’ Leo Carlsson offer sheet
The second week of July is usually a quieter one across the NHL. The draft is over. The free agent frenzy of July 1 is in the rearview mirror, with just a few veteran stragglers taking their time to decide on their next (or final) stop. All of that is still the case this year, but Danny Briere and the Philadelphia Flyers kept the frenzy going by tendering a five-year, $90 million offer sheet to Anaheim Ducks restricted free agent Leo Carlsson. The 21-year-old center was one of a few Ducks...
Claude Giroux Delaying Free Agency Decision For One Major Reason
On Friday, a trusted hockey insider reported that unrestricted free agent veteran Claude Giroux was headed back to his longtime original team, the Philadelphia Flyers . So why hasn't it happened yet? It appears there is one major reason. Reports are that several other teams were also in on Giroux, including his incumbent team, the Ottawa Senators , in addition to the Edmonton Oilers and the Toronto Maple Leafs . In fact, the Leafs, according to insider Elliotte Friedman , made the bigges...
Shane Vansaghi is embracing the work on his game’s finer points
The Flyers’ 2026 Development Camp is officially in the books, and with it, another week full to the brim of teaching and moments for reflection for this organization’s group of prospects has come to pass. For Shane Vansaghi — selected by the Flyers in the second round of last year’s draft, and having just wrapped up his second season of collegiate hockey — the last year has been a bit of a whirlwind, but as he’s cycled through the ups and downs that have come with a long sophomore season,...
How Likely Is Leo Carlsson to Be a Flyer?
It could be argued that the NHL has not seen a league-shattering move of this magnitude since the Wayne Gretzky trade. On Friday, July 3, the Philadelphia Flyers tendered an…
Jeff Marek thinks Ducks won’t match Flyers’ Leo Carlsson offer sheet
The Philadelphia Flyers lit off some fireworks early on Friday afternoon with Danny Briere tendering a massive five-year, $90 million offer sheet to Leo Carlsson. The Anaheim Ducks are now in the middle of the seven days they have to match the contract, weighing their options with their own players, the salary cap, and what they could do with the four first-round picks they’d get in compensation if they let the top-line center walk. The Ducks were threatened with another offer sheet ...
The Flyers are at a Point in the Roster Build Where a Gigantic Swing for the Fences is Warranted
Just before we all shoved off for the holiday weekend, the Flyers put together a five-year, $18 million AAV offer sheet for Anaheim center Leo Carlsson. A blockbuster, huge cajones move. Here’s the reported breakdown, which is frontloaded and features huge signing bonuses: There are so many directions to go with this, like a million […] The post The Flyers are at a Point in the Roster Build Where a Gigantic Swing for the Fences is Warranted appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Flyers’ offer sheet to Anaheim’s Leo Carlsson has reshaped NHL’s contract landscape
It was done only a handful of times. And while rarely successful, each time it made headlines. However, most believed the 32 National Hockey League general managers would play nice in the sandbox, adhering to some unexplained or unwritten decorum that they would treat each other fairly and respectfully. And certainly not try to use any leverage they might have in order to strongarm any of their compatriots. You just didn’t do that, right? After all, what would people say? Well, apparently...
Could the Flyers pivot to Adam Fantilli?
It’s a long week ahead of the Flyers, as they await the most important decision in recent team history, with Anaheim on the clock to match their offer sheet on Leo Carlsson. Time is at a standstill. None of Trevor Zegras, Jamie Drysdale, or even Claude Giroux have been able to work out a deal with the Flyers as $18 million annually is stuck in limbo until Friday afternoon at the latest. However, that doesn’t mean they haven’t been discussing a Plan B should things go back to normal. Colum...
NHL Rumor Roundup: Leo Carlsson's Offer Sheet Shakes Up The NHL
The Philadelphia Flyers' signing of Leo Carlsson to a lucrative five-year offer sheet will make it difficult for the Anaheim Ducks to re-sign Cutter Gauthier. It could also affect other NHL teams' efforts to re-sign their RFAs.
Flyers will silence the doubters on their massive offer sheet
The Flyers seemed to be more on the quiet end of free agency, but things have picked up in the city of Philadelphia. Claude Giroux, a longtime Flyer, returns to the team as a veteran presence for this young core,…
The Ducks Screwed Themselves
I think it's important we set some axioms for discussion of Anaheim's Leo Carlsson signing an offer sheet with Philadelphia , because it helps a superficially mindblowing contract feel something closer to logical—both in that the Flyers were wise to offer it, and in that the Ducks would be fools not to match it. The first thing to be agreed upon is that Carlsson is very, very good: 21 years old, putting up better numbers every year, 67 points in his third season. Whether you think he's neared ...
Flyers now depend on Cutter Gauthier to do them a favor
It has come to this. Painful irony. The Philadelphia Flyers are now hoping and praying that the player that scorned them a couple of years ago, spinning them completely off of a solid rebuilding path with a couple of cornerstone prospects, is going to do something that would in turn help the Flyers land one of the finishing touches on their team and could potentially turn them into a Stanley Cup contender. Cutter Gauthier is someone who almost every single Flyers fan has a passionate hatr...
How Cutter Gauthier Can Help the Flyers Land Leo Carlsson

Around the NHL: Flyers await Ducks’ Leo Carlsson decision, top 5 free agents still available
We are less than a week into free agency, and the 2026 NHL offseason has delivered some very entertaining storylines. From some ‘sticker shock’ on some of the free-agent contracts being handed out to middle-six forwards, to a wild offer sheet that’s turned the entire league on its head, it’s been as wild and whacky…
Winners and Losers From Flyers’ Offer Sheet of Ducks’ Leo Carlsson
Remember how crazy it was last fall when the Minnesota Wild signed Kirill Kaprizov to an eight-year, $136 million extension that made him the NHL’s highest-paid player by $3 million?…

Lightning Morning News: Flyers’ offer sheet will affect more than just the Ducks
One advantage to having a prospect tier ranked in the lower-third of the league is that your players rarely attract offer sheet attention. It also helped that the Tampa Bay Lightning didn’t have any restricted free agents on their depth chart after they opted to not tender a contract to Ethan Samson (who signed with Montreal), so they can sit back and watch the Leo Carlsson drama from a comfortable distance. At some point this week, Pat Verbeek will make his decision about Carlsson, a bud...
