## Resource

On today’s episode of The Sheet with Jeff Marek, Jeff is joined by former NHL executive Steve Werier for a deep dive into the changing world of NHL player contracts, roster building, and the future of team management. They break down the fallout from Leo Carlsson’s massive $90 million offer sheet with the Philadelphia Flyers, what it means for the Anaheim Ducks, and how it could reshape the way NHL teams approach restricted free agency moving forward. Jeff and Steve discuss the rise of offer sheets, potential loopholes in the system, salary cap strategy, market inefficiencies, contract negotiations, and where front offices may look for advantages in the next era of the NHL. Later, former Anaheim Duck and current Ducks color analyst Emerson Etem joins the show to give his perspective on the Carlsson situation, Pavel Mintyukov’s new contract with Anaheim, the Ducks’ current salary cap challenges, their young core, and what comes next as the franchise navigates a crucial offseason.
