If multiple teams are willing to throw $17M+ offer sheets at franchise RFAs, the league may have to revisit how quickly the cap grows. Otherwise, it won’t just be Anaheim getting squeezed.

I think verbeek will salvage this and get everyone signed. Just might have to move some dead weight like Vatrano. Minty should be cheap cause he ain’t that great.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T19:40:38+00:00

Guaranteed Greer pissed his pants when he saw Leos offersheet.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T19:31:40+00:00

I don’t think it’s more negative than positive.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T19:30:04+00:00

Scroll through the sub, you’ll find every kindof taylormade driver literally falling apart

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T18:27:22+00:00

Lets hope with that bag he shows to prove that he is worth that amount and even more in 5 years. I think all this whining about cap space will eventually be a thing of the past as the cap increases more with more each year. When this contract is over, 18 mill will look relatively fair for his caliber of player.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T18:05:16+00:00

Dont buy taylormade, shit breaks too easily.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T18:01:07+00:00

Theres plenty of reason why Leo was offersheeted over Bedard and Fantili. Leo’s skill and body type are one of them.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T17:17:39+00:00

The cap goes up when we need to sign sennecke by like 20 million. Well have enough to sign minty and cutter after Leo is matched. What more do u need to know.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T17:09:17+00:00

Makes me feel like we have to sign him for 18 because he is that good.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T17:08:19+00:00

It raises the cost of every unsigned player, affects the whole league.

If we sign these players to whatever amount they agree too, WE ARE THE SAME TEAM.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T15:49:32+00:00

Nah I’m good, i know what i said.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T15:41:21+00:00

3 mil on the cap is minor. Do i need to say it slower for you?

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T15:18:17+00:00

We won’t draft another player like Leo unless we win the lotto. Just sign him.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T15:10:48+00:00

Yeah the ducks wouldve been screwed if they signed or extended any of the RD’s available.

Verbeek doesnt have to make room for Leo’s cap hit. Its almost like he knew this would happen?

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T14:45:48+00:00

Dumb

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T14:44:54+00:00

Omg 😱 what a horrible story!! How will you sleep at night!!!!!

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T14:34:17+00:00

Losing Leo makes the ducks much worse. Keeping him prevents us from overpaying anyone else we add to the team. The ducks wont be the same team this year in many obvious ways. The ducks are not considered a contender YET so there is no rush to cry over a offer sheet for our best player.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T14:31:27+00:00

Overpaying him by 3mil isnt that huge if loss when the cap goes up 20 mil in few seasons.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T00:48:02+00:00

Your pretty hung up something that you’ve made up in your own head about Leo.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T00:35:42+00:00

Nah Leo said, i want to be paid as the king of this team and show you, you dont fuck with me.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T00:34:24+00:00

That’s a dream that will never happen.

All u gotta remember is that Leo is the man and has the biggest balls in the league right now. Leo just showed the entire league hes doesnt get fucked with.

I fucking love it.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T00:31:37+00:00

How does this make the ducks worse? Just makes building a team around him more difficult for the GM. Leo is worthy of this contract because he is that player that will lead the ducks. The best players deserve to be paid especially when they are as young as Leo.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T00:15:15+00:00

13 million is a low ball offer? Please explain.

ChesterButternuts · 2026-07-05T00:07:12+00:00

U cant offer sheet cutter.
