Carrick might be a decent 4th liner someday. He's got the grit for it and was a leader for the Marlies for a while.

 

[Schenn]

Carrick has a real chance to be a #4 C. I can't believe he never got a fair shot at it with the Leafs.

PC Labrie! Good luck!

Yeah him to a lesser degree but Percy really surprises me. Did we at least retain leivo ?

 

[izzy]

Carrick might make it someday. Can't have two Carricks in Toronto

Does he really or is this going to be another D'Amigo?

He plays a gritty game, is fearless and works the boards well.

He is very energetic and I really liked watching him. Can play the pK too.... will develop into a more complete bottom sixer in Chicago's system

Borderline 4Cs are so hard to come by. CHI fans must be just blown away at this signing.

Too bad TOR had to dump this guy to make room for all those top 6 guys they've accumulated.

Man are they boned.

He's basically Andrew Shaw lite...very lite obviously. But that's sort of his style of play.

Like Jeremy Morrin?


Really Leafs fans are trash talking Hawks fans now because they got Austin Mathews and Fredrick Andersen?

Pretty sure that was sarcasm. Also it's "Auston". Wonder why they named him with the O.

Apparently...

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Andrew Desjardins 2.0

Like his game. Wanted him to sign with Pittsburgh.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

Chi will enjoy Carrick. Mostly an ahl guy, but currently is good enough to fill a 4th line role. Scrappy guy, has the ability to put up a few goals too. Good depth signing and insurance against injury

 

[Henchmen 21]

Good for carrick, we have too many young forwards breaking in for him to have returned to the Leafs, He should be in the NHL next October

 

[LeafChief]

Sammy Carrick.

Best of luck to him. For a 5th round pick, he's carved out a nice career for himself.

I can definitely see him playing in the NHL at some point, albeit in a small role (4C). Still an NHLer though.

 

[Spectra]

Lol Labrie again? Leader for RCK though.

Don't know much about Carrick but have heard some OK things, will compete for a 4th line spot no doubt.

 

[exporta]

Carrick will be a great inexpensive option for Chicago, likely help them until the deadline until they add a few guys for the playoffs.

I think he'll get a chance to play, and on a winning team. Great character time.
