Confirmed Trade: [TOR/DAL] Connor Carrick for 2019 conditional 7th round pick

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Wow, how soon things change in Leaf country, eh?

I guess Babs would rather have Martin Marincin patrolling the blueline on the third pair?

Marincin isn't likely playing 3rdpair unless they dress 7 D

The top 6 are very likely

Rielly
Gardiner
Hainsey
Zaitsev
Dermott

Quick! Acquire Trevor Carrick somehow so he can be put in to proposals instead!!

 

[DictatorTots427]

pretty dissapointed tbh. I always kinda liked Carrick, I hope he does well in Dallas

I can see a deal with Carolina and Toronto once our goalies clear...

 

[Crazy Joe Divola]

I can’t believe they settled for a conditional 7th when they could’ve had Braun

Reasonably good 6-7 guy. Not sure why we traded our 7 for a 7th unless Toronto plans to pluck someone else.

He was not getting through waivers

He was not getting through waivers

I get that, just thought we would keep him on roster as the 7th. It's not a big deal or anything I mean these types of guys can be had on the cheap anyways. We will probably end up trade for someone with a different set of assets (size etc)

 

[Empoleon8771]

I always find it funny when I see guys always thrown in trade proposals here either waived or traded for nothing.

Thank you Dallas

He had fallen to 5th at RHD and abut 10th overall on the Leafs defence. He wasn't a Leaf this year. For Carrick's sake, wish him well in trying to secure an NHL job and ice time. The Marlies are loaded too with Dmen. (not necessarily all NHL prospects), so there wasn't a spot for him there either.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Something that I think may have been overlooked is Carrick getting trained through the US development program.

He'll now be playing under a coach with years of experience coaching at the NCAA level.

Maybe Carrick will thrive under Montgomery if he gets the playing time.

 

[Elysian]

The Carrick trade seems to make sense, but the Polak signing never will.

 

[LoovTrain]

Good luck CC.

You were a great interview.

I think they just wanted him to get a shot to play rather than sit in the press box all the time.

 

[LucicAndChong]

For a 7th that turns into a 6th if he plays more than 50 games next season.

That seems like basically nothing, considering what the Oilers just got for Jerabek. I guess better than to lose him to waivers

I mean I get it though cause Dubas probably knew he wasnt making it through waivers so the first offer he got for him he just took because anything is better than losing him for nothing when he inevitably gets claimed.

Doesn't it make sense.
Fans see that said player is on the way out...

 

[Maplebeasts]

To my enormous surprise, a player TOR fans have been pimping in a thousand trade proposals is shown to have almost zero value. Wonder who the next one will be...

People thought he had value?

 

[Whileee]

Awesome - no more Carrick thrown into Leafs' proposals.

Well, now they can throw that extra 7th rounder in to sweeten deals.

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Well, now they can throw that extra 7th rounder in to sweeten deals.

Lol, at least it's gone in value from what was a perceived 2nd rounder to a 7th rounder - more transparency is always appreciated

Polak is better now. Carrick is young though.

 

[Kcb12345]

Polak is better now. Carrick is young though.

Polak is definitely not better right now he is so awful. Worst preseason of anyone on the team by far. Even the AHL guys. He is not a fit for the Stars system at all which is why they acquired Carrick

Youre in for a surprise if you think Carrick is better. He couldnt make the Leafs defense, which everyone says is awful. Take that as a hint as to his capabilities.

 

[PromisedLand]

I'd rather have Holl @ 650K than Carrick at 1.3M...

Leafs have cap room for this year even after signing Nylander to add a D as a rental for a year if they want, while Holl/Marincin can be trade fodder.

I think its all good....

Polak is a good pro
