Empty Netters Podcast · Leo Carlsson Officially A Duck And The Highest Paid Player In The NHL w/ David Ayres · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

I think Verbeek handled it how he had to handle it.

Whether you want to say him stalling cost them money is true or not, I think that that is true.

I think he can kind of admit it.

He was like, we got him for a number more than we thought.

And we were like, man, is this going to be weird when Leo comes back and he's the highest paid player in the league?

There was a period where we were like, that might be weird.

It might be awkward for a second.

But at the end of the day, all of the teammates, they're professional athletes.

They understand how this goes.

They all have agents.

They all have conversations.

They know how this goes as well.

And I think right now they're going, we're happy that our star center is back.

I think it's as simple as that.

There will certainly be pressure, not pressure that he can't handle, of are you going to perform or are you not going to perform because now you make $18 million a year.

I think he addressed that, and now all we can see is how he plays.

And as we've said, he will not be the most expensive player in the league in short order, within a year, or less, frankly.

I mean, this season he will be, but it eventually will change.

So whatever.

Also, Ducks fans are super passionate and awesome and knowledgeable, but they're also not psychopaths.
