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...

The Flyers’ Stanley Cup window opens if they land Leo Carlsson

The franchise has been the runner up the last six times they vied for a Stanley Cup. Their goaltender of the ’80s died tragically. Their generational talent was theirs, then belonged to the Rangers, then was theirs again after a ruling on July 1, 1992 went in Philadelphia’s favor regarding Eric Lindros. In the 2000s, the Flyers were contenders a few times, but eventually lost to the eventual Stanley Cup champions. Then there was the Shea Weber offer sheet, and that didn’t materialize. Then the...
