I remember when Kyle Wood was a big loss to some when we traded him and Tanguay to Arizona a few years ago. Kid had some talent.

Damn it, I got excited for a moment there...

Carrick's AHL stats are somehow interesting to bolster up a farm team offense. I wonder what Carolina sees in Wood. Wouldn't it have been better for the Canes to keep Carrick since it's a farm team swap?

Career AHL for career AHL

Thought that said Miles Wood for a sec. Was deeply disappointed

There’s gotta be something wrong with Kyle Wood right? A good prospect on his 4th team now.

Read it as Sam carrick and Kyle wellwood quickly

Likewise.

AVs former prospect moved to AZ and than SJ. I thought he had a future and has since retired. Good size. Not sure why he keeps getting traded, but career AHL player.

Two guys I had interest in as long shot prospects in my keeper league two years back.

Carrick has been a good soldier in the Canes org, climaxing in winning a Calder Cup, but he just isn’t an NHL player. Definition of a AAAA guy who gave it his best shot and maxed out his abilities at the cusp of being promoted. He could probably make a couple of NHL rosters as a spare part, but if he’s part of the plan you’re in serious trouble. That being said, he’s a great asset at the AHL level as a veteran with several years of pro experience and still fairly young (just turned 25).

The Cup winning Checkers team has been completely picked apart already. Something like 8 of their top 10 players will be different at training camp.

I heard he's a little warped...

Wood keeps getting traded.

No big surprise that Wood gets harder to keep with age.

 

[PhoenyX]

Wood you look at that, traded again.

Haven’t heard any character issues. Good size and skill, the problem mainly appears to be his skating hasn’t improved to an NHL level.

Glad Carrick gets a chance in a different organization. He's UFA soon anyways isn't he?

He was traded as an unsigned RFA and then the Sharks signed him to a 2 year deal that will take him to UFA.

For whatever reason the Sharks have felt comfortable picking up guys who need to improve skating...here is another example.

He'll be behind Vlasic, Dillon, and Simek on the depth charts but maybe will be on the bottom pairing in a couple years if all goes well?

I remember a few years ago when Kyle Wood was a hot commodity for my fantasy teams when he scored 14 goals and put up 43 points in 68 games as an AHL rookie

He's 100% less well than Kyle Wellwood.

Yup, very good kid...skating remains a challenge and doesn't use his size as he could/should.
