Value of: Jeff Carter

[DarthProbert]

The "Carter would retire" thing is the best example of why rumors are stupid. It gets mentioned in every thread and immediately debunked but is guaranteed to still pop up in the next thread.

Lets you see who actually reads posts here before posting and who's just here to hear themselves talk.

If a Neal for Carter trade were doable, I would be in from an Edmonton perspective.

I would rather ride out Carters contract as it’s shorter.

Yes, but if there were a 2nd round pick attached to Neal, how about then?

L A does don't have a McDavid to pad points, so the plus would have to be big since Carter is at least an everyday player without Kopi. The plus is not even worth mentioning since its probably going to cause a stink

Carter 25% retention
to PHI for
Ratcliffe+John St.Ivany

I know that this is going to come across as very "HF", but I'm not moving Ratcliffe in a deal for Carter. All due respect to Carter, but Ratcliffe just has a weird combination of skill and size that shouldn't be whisked away.

Flyers fan here

Do NOT want Carter.

Carter has very little value. He is past his due date.

If Kovalchuk can produce like he has away from LA, I wonder how much gas a guy like Carter has left in the tank if he were playing meaningful hockey? His contract isn't crazy either - $5,272,727 for two more years after this season. If the Kings retained $1,272,727 (about 25%), you'd have Carter for two years at $4 million. And no, he isn't retiring.

Hell, here's an idea.

To Pittsburgh: Jeff Carter (50% retained, $2,636,363)
To Los Angeles: 2021 2nd round pick, 2020 3rd round pick

Pittsburgh gets Carter as their 3C, and he can easily slot up next to Malkin or Crosby on the wing if need be.

 

[Cogburn]

Carter at 50 is very attractive.

What's the cost for that kind of retention?

Edit: It was a Kings fan above me, I read the post and didn't look at who posted it. Duh.

A second and a third? That's interesting...

 

[Schmooley]

Carter can still play. He was bad last year.
This year Id say 1 out of every 5 games hes one of the best players on the ice. Looks like a man amongst boys.
The other 4 out of every 5 games it looks like he has no interest in being a hockey player.
I wonder if he would be better off on a competitive team that holds all players accountable. On the Kings he can dog it all he wants and it doesnt matter. The rookies and Russian players are the only ones that get benched.

With retention I’d definitely explore that option as a Jets fan. Plug in some of the Jets skilled wingers and maybe he has a rejuvenation of sorts.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I’d love to add Carter as a fan of both teams heading in opposite directions.

Carter 50% retention

Puljujarvi + pick

Grant I think Poolparty will be a decent winger with a change of scenery. If not, swap with Samorukov who is a pretty good LD prospect worth the equivalent of a 2nd

Carter gets pucks on net, and into the net, on a team that struggles horrifically at that. See the difference between Kovalchuk on LA and Kovalchuk in Montreal? Yeah, now imagine Carter on a team where his strengths are utilized instead of hindered.

 

[Kurrilino]

Guys, this is getting out of control.
If 50% of Carter is retai9ned we talk a 1st pick here.
A 2nd or 3rd for 50% carter is laughable. At this point i keep him

Jets. Canucks. What ever.

(Don't tell either fanbase I said that....)

A 2nd + 3rd or equivalent is more reasonable. Nobody is moving a 1st for Carter even with retention. Maybe a desperate club does the equivalent of 2 2nd’s

 

[Deen]

If he is ok with playing Right Wing I would think Calgary might be interested. Right shot and could probably get him for relatively cheap. Brings leadership and pedigree.

Poolparty + 2nd for Carter @ 50% would be alright by me.

Plug Carter in with anything that resembles talent and he’s likely a 50pt player

 

[Bounces R Way]

Not nothing. Probably something. But also probably not something very good.

 

[captainpaxil]

No fuzzy math here, just a guy whose finally healed and is on pace for 20+ goals on one of the worse offensive teams in the NHL and one of the worse offensive teams of the past decade.
$5+mill caphit, $2mill annual salary and would be the ideal 3C on a contending team..
With that said, i would do a Carter for Ghost or something similar.. essentially an overpaid player for a useful older player thats also slightly overpaid.

Kupari durzi Carter for ghost rubstov

Pens are likely already going to have to make moves to stay under the cap next season with the Zucker acquisition. No chance they take on that contract.

agreed so waive him orctrade him for futures. No one will take a risk on Carter, with his caphit, unless he has proven himself to be productive now.

There's this thing called retention.

50% is what it would take and even then the return won't be that significant. What has Jeff Carter done in the last 2 years?
