00:00I don't want to get too excited, though, because, look, I think the Ducks are going to match it.
00:06But what Danny Breer did, and you've got to give him credit, the way that they structured this,
00:10with so much money in bonuses, which the Ducks don't like to do, making it $18 million a year,
00:16which is the highest salary in the NHL, if the Ducks want to match it, they have to pay him
00:22this.
00:23They can't negotiate it. This is the contract. Leo Carlson signed it.
00:26So understand the way this works. The Flyers offered him this contract.
00:31The reports are four other teams offered him contracts as well.
00:35He chose the Flyers offer. Signed it. He signed it. Inked the paper.
00:39So they have until Friday. If the Ducks don't match it, Leo Carlson's on the Philadelphia Flyers.
00:43Either way, Bill, you call Danny Breer a gangster.
00:47A couple weeks ago, I was concerned about this 1C situation.
00:51They're too good now to draft too high in the draft to get a guy, a young guy that way.
00:55A lot of these guys are picking and choosing handpicked destinations that are stars,
00:59a Larkin, a Kachuk, obviously not a center, but you know what I mean.
01:02They're picking their destinations.
01:04I didn't know if the Flyers were going to ever end up on one of those lists, right?
01:08Now, in my heart of hearts, even if Leo Carlson goes back to Anaheim signs with the Ducks,
01:12I know Danny Breer is getting his guy one way or the other.
01:15Whether it's Carlson or somebody else down the line,
01:18I have full faith in Danny Breer to go get his guy down.
01:20I do as well, but the disappointing thing will be it probably won't be this season.
