Reports: Another Offer Sheet Coming To Pavel Mintyukov

The shocking offer sheet that Leo Carlsson agreed to from the Philadelphia Flyers might have just opened the floodgates. According to several reports, there will be more offer sheets. 

There are rumblings this may not be the only offer sheet of the day in the NHL ...

In fact, it appears that the Anaheim Ducks will be the victims once again, as PuckPedia is reporting that young defenseman Pavel Mintyukov has been approached by "several" teams, and he will have to decide on which one and whether to sign it.

Several teams have approached Mintyukov’s agent @HockeyAgent1 about an offer sheet, and it seems likely at least one is formally offered today.

Mintyukov would then still need to decide if he wants to sign it.

Insider Kevin Weekes is also reporting that "several teams" are eyeing Mintyukov for an offer sheet.

Mintyukov, a recent top 10 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, just completed his third season, which had its turbulent stretches. It got off to a rocky start, as he experienced multiple healthy scratches, and there was talk about the 22-year-old wanting to be traded if he wasn't going to play regularly. 

He eventually settled into an enviable second-pairing role alongside John Carlson who was acquired at the trade deadline. The young Russian finished the year with 22 points and 112 blocked shots in 73 games. 

A big offer sheet summer is ahead in the NHL — here's why

Offer sheets are clearly on a lot of teams' minds this summer, as the weak UFA pool has front offices eyeing the more prominent RFAs as a way to make a big splash (aside from trades). 

In fact, the offer sheet that Carlsson signed wasn't the only one he was presented with, according to insider Darren Dreger. 

This will certainly juice the market according to several player agents. Carlsson had 4 teams present Offer Sheets and several who shard a high level of interest. https://t.co/cpyNYyfann

He tells us that no less than FOUR TEAMS presented Carlsson with offer sheets, but obviously none of the others could beat the Flyers' insane offer.
