00:00So before we talk about what Anaheim does, let's talk about the player that Leo Carlson is and the impact
00:06that he could make for this Flyers team that has been dying for a center pretty much as long as
00:11they've been dying for a goaltender until they got Dan Vladar.
00:14Leo Carlson is that piece on the chessboard the Flyers need. His availability kind of was presented in the UFA
00:22or the restricted free model and it came in the form of an offer sheet. You have to go after
00:28that guy and the Flyers did.
00:30Leo Carlson is probably a potential 100 point per season guy. He's a big centerman, 6'3", 208. He's exactly
00:40what most teams are looking for. He's a bona fide 1C. Yeah, you're taking risks because he's 21 years old,
00:47but that's fine.
00:48I think the NHL, the way the contracts are kind of coming out now, I think you're going to see
00:53more and more GMs paying players before they do something.
00:57They're going to pay them on that. They're going to assume that risk early, give these guys contracts rather than
01:02paying them after when they're no longer capable of giving you what they can as a player.
01:07He's in his prime and he's coming into his prime. So Leo Carlson is definitely that 1C that the Flyers
01:13are looking for.
