He's only 34 and we still lack a real C. Domi isnt one, Danault is 3rd line material, Kotka is 18 and could learn from a veteran like Carter. Like I said, IF the Habs look like theyre gonna make the playoffs and the price is reasonable, they should go for him. Thats my opinion

Carter would be such a good fit for Carolina. The $7 mil in real dollars left on his contract after this year is music to the ears of a budget conscious FO. A veteran, skilled, goal scoring center to pair with Svechnikov is Carolina's biggest short-term need. Having a RHS capable of taking draws in important offensive situations would be great too. His old teammate Williams is the captain; that gives some added confidence that there won't be a repeat of Columbus in Carolina.
I have to think that they'll be a player, if he becomes available and the team is still competitive for a PO spot.

I mean i would argue that if anyone from the oustside provided the MVP for the first one, it was the Flyers.. but we can make a deal and just split the cup, if thats alright by you.

None of those players would make me feel okay with trading Carter.

Fwiw, Rubstov is playing very well in the AHL so far which is a great sign.
6 games 3goals, 1 assist +3 while playing C again.

I don't like it, but we may have to be realistic with our expectations given Carts age and recent injury. Personally i'd move a Dman or winger before Carts.
if he gets moved I would want it to be for a prospect who looks like a lock to play in the NHL and a 2nd rounder that could turn into a first at minimum.
From the Islanders I would like Lee + Ho Sang but given Lee was just given the "C" i don't see it from the Islanders POV. What I would be ok with but not thrilled is Ho Sang plus conditional 1st.

This is not the reason why NYI would part with Lee for an old Carter. The guy just scored 35 & 40 goals in the last 2 years. He's far more valuable than Carter to this date, you should temper your expectations if you trade Carter. Putting Ho-Sang on top of Lee is just unrealistic.
Ho-Sang is the central piece of a deal for Carter, not Lee.
If Hosang is the best part of a Carter deal the Kings better be hanging up the phone in short order. The price starts with a 1st, not a meh prospect with a history of being a problem child.

Maybe. I think we'd need Voracek and Couturier back, tho. We'd have been willing to send Jack Johnson and Marko Dano as additional compensation, but, well...

Eventually it will be. After Doughty there is a big drop off. Where as there are some higher end prospects in LA's pool on forward

Fair enough...but to make room for Carter, the Isles would need to move Nelson also...
How about Wilde and Nelson for Carter and a conditional 3rd?(turns into a 2nd if Nelson re-signs)
He is a good player, but at 33 coming off an injury with 4 more years at above 5m and in a league that is only getting faster I personally don't think he would return very much.
Teams in the past little while haven't been too big on investing big money into depreciating assets.

New Phone who dis?
I don't like the idea of including a pick from LA. However how about conditional 2nd if LA trade Nelson or his rights?

Conditional 2nd if LA trades Nelson or his rights, or re-signs him...
By the way, thanks for the sane conversation.
How about something like Vorobyev + 2nd. I'd personally go a first but i just can't see hextall parting with one.
Carter would plug in right now between voracek and jvr until patrick and eventually frost pass him. Gives the younger guys some added depth to develop.
