Anaheim Ducks fans are breathing a sigh of relief after the team announced it will be keeping highly touted prospect Leo Carlsson, a Swedish forward who has impressed scouts with his speed and skill. However, the decision to retain Carlsson may have come at a steep price, as the team's cap structure has been severely impacted, leaving some wondering if General Manager Pat Verbeek will be feeling the heat this season. As the NHL's salary cap continues to rise, teams are forced to make tough decisions about which players to keep and which to let go, and Verbeek's ability to navigate this complex landscape will be put to the test. With the Ducks' cap situation now precarious, fans are eagerly awaiting Verbeek's next move to see how he will address the team's financial woes.


The Anaheim Ducks kept Leo Carlsson, but their cap structure got ruined and so could Pat Verbeek be on the hot seat this season?
