Dude is a workhorse. Would be a great addition to the Preds.

 

[Soundgarden]

Is he good on the PK?

Is he good on the PK?

Ostensibly yes.

I guess I just don't see where we need another 4th line/PK style player? We've been able to call up guys to fill in all year with no issues, and it's not really something I would have given up any asset to add to our team. If it's a 6th or 7th round pick or something, I guess who cares, but anything more just seems unnecessary...?

If he can center we can send McCarron back down (though McCarron hasn’t really been all that bad)

I would say McCarron has actually been downright good. (Very surprisingly, very unexpectedly). For all we didn't like McCarron last year, he has actually been good this year and I can't see how Carpenter would be an upgrade. Carpenter would be more like just a parallel/depth addition than a replacement/upgrade.

He is a good addition for the 4th line. At little cost.

 

[DCDM]

Cool

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Good luck Carpy!
Flames fans will not be disappointed. Carpenter is a perfect 4th line center.
He plays physical, wins faceoffs, and PKs.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He's fine. Solid defensively. Useless offensively. Can play center.

 

[Zirakzigil]

I like it. Nice cheap depth

 

[The Red Line]

Love this deal for the Flames.

Chicago's doing a good job of embracing the rebuild.

 

[JaegerDice]

Whatever.

Carpenter is just your generic ‘guy’. Its embarrassing the Blackhawks let Kampf walk just to give this replacement level player more minutes.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Canucks claiming Richardson made the Flames waste a 5th round pick. Good job.

 

[MDCSL]

I actually like this deal, Carpenter is great on the 4th line.

 

[Tkachuky]

He's fine. Solid defensively. Useless offensively. Can play center.

This is good. Need a responsible 4th line.

 

[Putt Pirate]

I actually like this deal, Carpenter is great on the 4th line.

He is good there and don’t try and elevate him up the lineup. He knows and embraces his role. You will like him as long as you don’t expect much O from him.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Probably a Daryl Sutter request, Sutter loves his 4th liners.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

He's fine. Solid defensively. Useless offensively. Can play center.

Yep the typical vet 4th liner that tend to stick around because coaches love "Vets"

There's zero room on the top 9 truth be told.
The Flames are legitimately scary deep. There are 30 goal scorers on each of the top 3 lines. We need a guy who can carry some play down the middle. Sean Monahan is struggling to be much of anything these days.
