Lou must have got back from vacation yesterday.

 

[Kelly]

Looks like Lou has been on holidays since the draft, and is just getting to contracts now. That`s 4 (couting Holland being waived) in the last two days.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

Probably around 1-1.2mil

wonder if he gets more than what marincin will get

 

[93LEAFS]

solid move, always good to avoid arbitration. He'll have a chance to crack a top 4 role and first power play. Him and Zaitsev are the two guys we are hoping to fill that hole on the right side of our D.

 

[SB84]

Great job Lou! He really emerged last year as a guy who can play in the top 6!

 

[Acetylene]

Good. I'm a bit 'meh' regarding the Leivo and Holland moves, but I'm a fan of this sugning.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Kid has a lot of potential

 

[X66]

Played very well in the NHL. Led the AHL playoffs in scoring.

Really big fan of how he plays.

Winnik did us well.

 

[Leafidelity]

Really liked Carrick, glad to see he's sticking around

 

[JonathanK]

Excellent cap hit

 

[GongShowWilly]

great signing , Lou is rockin !

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Love this kid's tenacity. Plays well with the puck on his stick as well

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Happy for Carrick!

 

[Nizdizzle]

Really impressed with Carrick. Seemed like a throwaway when we got him from Washington, but has shown he might be a solid middle-pairing PP guy someday.

 

[Hally BlackWood]

Perfect. My guess is the defense looks something like

Rielly Zaitsev
Gardnier polak
Hundwick/Marincin - Carrick

and Corrado goes bye bye

 

[VoidCreature]

Connor Carrick was a monster against the Devils in the AHL playoffs. Reminded me of Jason Garrison from our series against the Panthers in 2012, just ripping bombs from the point. Big fan, great signing.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Great move !

Perfect. My guess is the defense looks something like

Many NHL teams carry 8 NHL D. Babcock likes to carry 8 D.

Carrick is awesome, good deal.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

Beauty. Love watching this kid play; if he can keep his offense going and work a bit on his board play (not a big hitter by any stretch ) he will be a top 4 guy

 

[Gavy]

Love Carrick. Completely surprised ne with how good he is. I see him at least being a top 4 dman in his prime

 

[Halla]

looks like its 2 years, 1.5 total for a 750k hit.
solid

 

[leaflover]

Thats a good deal. I liked what I saw from Carrick last year and I hope he can build on it. Eventually Toronto will need more size on the blueline but Carrick plays bigger than his size anyway.

Really big fan of how he plays.

Winnik did us well.

That AHL thing is more impressive when you consider he played one less round than others in the race.
