Ex-NHL defenceman Ryan Whitney says Leo Carlsson doesn't yet deserve his new $18M-a-year deal, but blames Anaheim, not the player, for the offer-sheet saga.
Edmonton's captain says he's fine with peers out-earning him, noting at least 10 NHL players will top his AAV by 2027/28 as pay scales climb.
Anaheim will place Chris Kreider on unconditional waivers to void his deal amid a cap crunch, clearing the way for him to become an unrestricted free agent.
