I'd say not really, does he PK a lot yeah. But I think he's too slow to be good on the PK and usually is lower on GA numbers than teammates. But 5on5 his D and grind game is solid.

Coming from someone who's essentially watched every televised Flames game since they were like 7 years old; it's nice having a team that's a blast to watch because from 97-2022 there's been all of like... 5 years worth watching

He's always kinda stood out to me watching Blackhawks games, as one of those guys who really understands and embraces his role. The sort of player who can actually make a bit of an impact in those more limited 4th line type minutes. Doesn't need to do a lot with the puck and offensively in general to make his presence felt. Always nice to have a responsible player like that who knows their role, and the coach can just throw out there and not be afraid it's going to really "hurt" the team.
Seems like a good, cheap load up on depth sort of acquisition for the Flames.

If Calgary wasn't planning to add anyone they wouldn't have waived Richardson. Carpenter is better version of Lewis

Not a waste. Chances are that pick could have been spent on a depth d-man. Instead we get an upgrade of Richardson and more options for the line-up.
Agreed, the price for depth defensemen that aren't really better than Stone or Mackey was pretty high. I wouldn't have done this deal, but I'm not unhappy with it. I just don't really think Carpenter is a better player than Ruzicka. Not a bad thing to have one guy who can slot into the top 9 and one into the bottom 3 though.
