Jeff Carter

[KPower]

Carter is quietly having a great season.

4th in the league with 17 goals.

Very underrated player.

He's a decent 2C, how is he underrated?

 

[NotWendell]

You suck Carter! (as a human being)
Columbus has spoken.

He's a decent 2C, how is he underrated?

He's a top-rung 2C, no doubt. That's a pretty good example.

Maybe not 'underrated' but he certainly does his thing quietly

 

[JT Kreider]

Yeah, he's saved the Kings with his play considering how underwhelming Kopitar has been. For the first time in what a decade he won't be the Kings point leader?

 

[Kingspiracy]

Carts is awesome

Let's not go crazy. Kopitar was a monster all over the ice, just snakebitten. Then he got hurt, and Carter shone, and Kopi hasn't been the same since he came back (he's wearing a gigantic brace). Carter is playing with more offensive linemates in Toffoli (now injured) and Pearson, whereas Kopitar is playing a possession/grind game with Brown and Setoguchi. If for some reason Kopitar doesn't get going to late (keep in mind this happened a few years back and he went near 2 PPG to take the team scoring lead), it'll be the first time in 9 years. Basically, their utilization has changed, so Carts is the more offensive guy for certain at this moment.

But again, Carts has put up 62 points in each of the previous two years, and is on pace for 67 this year, so he was never far behind.

He's much better than that, he's a first liner for sure

 

[Bandit]

Easily the Kings' MVP to this point.

Another example is go back and look at the Team Canada selection threads--people frothing at the mouth over Carter's selection, only to watch him lead the team in scoring.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

love this guy

my type of player

two way beast with a bullet of a shot

hes automatic on an odd man rush with that shot

 

[WrinkledPossum]

He consistently puts up 60+. On a lot of teams he would be 1C. To call him a decent 2C is ridiculous. There are very few teams that have a better 2C.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Consistently underrated for 10+ years.

 

[Steamwhistle]

Definitely underrated. Guy barely gets talked enough (maybe because he plays behind Kopitar) yet he still puts up 60pt seasons with solid defense.

 

[redfzn]

Love watching Cartsy. That lockout season Cy Young was something.

- NYR fan

 

[TheBannermen]

Make that 18 goals. 13 in his last 18 games.

 

[Little Psycho]

MVP this season for sure. Ever since he called out the team a couple of games ago the kings have looked a lot better.

 

[Byrral]

I'll contain my hatred for him for now. Guy is a hell of a player. Plays a hard game. Has a great hard shot. Makes big plays at important times. Always Mr. Clutch when he plays against my team. I'm sure he does it against other teams as well. Don't know if he's under rated. He's been a good player for a long time.

Now back to my hatred for him

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

19 goals now, only player on the Kings who is in the double digits with goals, next closes player is Toffoli with 8

 

[Battle Hymns]

19 goals

 

[TheTechNoir]

Rofl at people calling him overrated. Decent cap hit for what he does I guess as far as compliments goes.

Jeff would've scored 50 if I didn't miss 22 empty nets and then disappear for 22 games Carter

 

[authentic]

He's a good 1C.

 

[neXis]

Should get a Hart trophy consideration if he keeps this up. He's been carrying the Kings this entire season and showing up, while Kopitar Mr. $10 million dollar man has not. And with their horrible roster and cap problems...I'm surprised they aren't getting destroyed by some teams. I thought they would be a bottom 5 team this season after they lost Quick.

Carter is the reason Kings are staying afloat.

 

[Robert]

Carter has no scruples.... He's a piece of **** actually.....

Truth...

 

[hossua34]

He has the hair of a champion.
