General manager Pat Verbeek and the Anaheim Ducks were put into a bind earlier this summer when the Philadelphia Flyers signed Leo Carlsson to a five-year, $90-million offer sheet. After a mini spending spree on July 1 and matching the offer to retain their franchise center, the Ducks were down to just about $9 million in salary cap space while still needing to sign another restricted free agent in Cutter Gauthier, who would cost considerably more than $9 million coming off a 41-goal season.

Travis Konecny led the Flyers last season with 68 point in 77 games. He had 14 power play points, two game-winning goals, a short-handed tally, and averaged just over 19 minutes per game. He just edged Trevor Zegras in points as Zegras had 67. But Konecny also had a far better plus/minus than the former Duck, ending the year at +14 while Zegras was even. In the playoffs, Konecny had a goal and four assists as the Flyers faltered to Carolina in round two. Despite the average playoff, it was cle...

With Carlsson now earning $18M on his new pact, Gauthier—he of the 41 goals this past season—is looking for his cut of the pie, too. And it will have to be a huge, tasty slice. It doesn't sound like he'll settle for anything less than $15M or more on any longish-te...
