He's been traded once since, but looking at the Flyers-Blue Jackets deal that sent Jeff Carter to Columbus, who came out on the winning side? All rights reserved. They got three pieces for a guy that played less than half a season with the Blue Jackets. If Los Angeles qualifies for this spring's post-season, Columbus will have the choice of taking this year's pick or next year's. The Flyers could interest the Kings with a prospect and/or a draft pick. That is most significant as it relates to the possibility of the Flyers adding Carter for their playoff push. With the Kings continuing to struggle, veteran center Jeff Carter has started to come up in trade speculation lately. The Jeff Carter-Flyers buzz is back. In order for this trade to make any sense, the Flyers would have to receive considerable concessions from the Kings on the part of Carter’s contract, primarily a retention of salary. Both teams met their needs Thursday night by pulling off a major trade that sent forward Jeff Carter from Columbus to the Los Angeles Kings for defenceman Jack Johnson and a first-round draft pick in either 2012 or 2013. All Rights Reserved. Carter carries an annual cap hit of $5.272 million through the 2021-22 season, while Johnson's contract averages out to $4.357 million until 2017-18. It started humming in January when Carter and the Kings visited the Flyers. Lombardi said the deal provided a unique opportunity for both teams as the trade deadline approached.

And that ended with a four-game sweep three years ago. But what would they be willing to give up from a prospect pool that will build the future? While the Flyers remained relatively unscathed following this move, the Jackets eventually moved Carter for Jack Johnson and a pick. Both players have long-term contracts. "We are committed to a competitive culture with huge expectations for everybody in our organization," Howson said. That’s not to say that Carter wasn’t a great piece going the other way – but the Blue Jackets definitely didn’t get their money’s worth when it came to the big center.eval(ez_write_tag([[250,250],'thehockeywriters_com-leader-2','ezslot_5',669,'0','0'])); On the other side, aside from Cousins being traded, the Flyers still have Couturier and Voracek on their roster and get production from both of them. At the time, Voracek was just 21 and had just finished his third season with the Blue Jackets. "It kind of allowed us to reach out to a player of this calibre, who's still a young player barely in his prime.". Per Friedman: It might come down to Nolan Patrick’s health, but I think Philadelphia is considering Jeff Carter. It seems surreal that the Philadelphia Flyers traded Mike Richards and Jeff Carter in the summer of 2011 and that we are now approaching the summer of 2014. Over nine seasons with the Flyers, Couturier has 402 points (156 goals and 246 assists) in 647 regular season games to go along with 13 points in 24 postseason games. "We're looking for every and all opportunities to improve this organization.". He broke into the league at the age of 21 with the Philadelphia Flyers who drafted him 11th overall in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. The Blue Jackets (18-35-7) are last in the NHL, by far, in wins and points. The NHL has updated its Privacy Policy effective January 16, 2020. In return, the Flyers acquired a package that included Jakub Voracek, a 2011 first-round pick (Sean Couturier at eighth overall) and a 2011 third-round pick (Nick Cousins at 68th overall). "We now have a very good defence.". The NHL uses cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies. all with the Kings.

"This isn't a rental. But Carter missed 20 games due to a broken foot and a separated shoulder. But on June 16, 2017, the Flyers traded the 24-year-old along with Merrick Madsen to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for 20-year-old Brendan Warren and a 2018 fifth-round pick. To me, this isn't your classic trade-deadline deal, where you're giving up young players for a rental-type situation," he said. "We were excited and had high expectations when we acquired Jeff Carter, but we just couldn't find the right fit for him here," Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson said. The second Carter trade (which, again, we will talk about in a future piece) made the Flyers-Jackets trade a much closer one in terms of value. Carter signed an 11-year, US$58 million deal with the Philadelphia Flyers in November 2010, but now will be joining his third team since agreeing to the contract. He has hit the 20-goal mark five times during his six-plus seasons in the NHL but struggled to find a role in Columbus. In my most recent article, I expressed the belief that a trade for Jeff Carter could be the very move that could save the Blue Jackets’ franchise. While Couturier’s isn’t always offensive, NHL clubs do need role players and that’s exactly how the young forward fits in. At the time, they got a 22-year-old Voracek who has developed into quite an offensive player. In 343 NHL games, Johnson has 30 goals, 94 assists and 256 penalty minutes. "We've got a quality top-four defenceman," he said. December 25, 2018 at 3:57 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 7 Comments. He played just 39 games with the Jackets scoring 15 goals and 25 points before he was shipped out once again to the Los Angeles Kings (a trade we’ll discuss in a future piece). "I think the only way that we can make this deal is because we have some young defencemen coming through the system," Lombardi said. I am familiar with the team and a lot of guys on the team," Carter said. Updated daily with news and features from over 130 writers worldwide. Acquired in a blockbuster trade with Philadelphia last summer, Carter was expected to centre the Blue Jackets' top line with captain Rick Nash, who is also rumoured to be on the trading block leading up to Monday's trade deadline. As they retool, being open to moving an older player like Carter would make sense. And how do they make it work for the roster moving forward? COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Los Angeles Kings needed a goal scorer. At a hastily called news conference late Thursday, Howson said Johnson was "over the top excited" about the trade. Not to mention the former Flyer has 17 goals this season and is projected to finish with 24.
