Confirmed with Link: Jeff Carter Traded to Pittsburgh / Jeff Carter Appreciation Thread

[WHOneedsSOX]

Did we get Crosby in return? Blake better have asked for him.

 

[LAKings88]

Honestly bittersweet.

It was time.

Thanks for the Cups and memories Carts.

Come do TV in LA after you retire.

It's been swell but a little unsavory for the past 2yrs. Best of luck Jeffrey

Gotta give him more credit than that, he was suffering from the Cup Hangover

 

[Bandit]

Very sad to see another contributer to the cup runs being moved. He'll always be a Kings legend.

I agree. I know my first post was a tad harsh but will always appreciate everything he did for us. It was time to go though.

Pens fan here...what can we expect?

Puck bunnies will be happy, hockey fans, not so much.

 

[kovacro]

Best of luck in the Steel City, Jeff.

Do you like roller hockey?

 

[Cook24]

I think a change of scenery will do him good. Not the same player obviously but he’ll help them out...

Yeah, hockey wise it made too much sense to trade him. Better for him to go than us hate him for another year and a half.

is his slow now?

Where the f*** is the mayor at

Tears of joy here

 

[SEALBound]

As a bottom 6 center or wing? Serviceable?

Yep. Without Carter 2012 doesn't happen. They wouldn't have even made the playoffs much less win a cup. Fruit basket to the dinner jackets.

Mayor mccheese is currently not reachable

This is great news for everyone involved. Carter can be effective in a support role for the Penguins, a team that amazingly has a legit chance to win another Stanley Cup. For the Kings it frees up a spot and some cap space for next season, but more importantly helps turn that page even more, that is more valuable than the picks. And I actually wouldn't be shocked if this is it for Carter, he gets one more kick at the can before retiring, is he going to move his young family 2500 miles away to make $2m in actual dollars next season? Maybe, but I have my doubts.

Now we as fans can step back and appreciate what Carter did in LA instead of lamenting how out of place he looked on the Kings 2nd line the last two seasons. He did after all do something that a lot of us never thought we'd see, he scored the cup winning goal for the Kings. I actually think he is worthy of having his jersey retired by the Kings.

 

[KingsCourt]

Wow.. Carts gone.. Is this real

 

[Bandit]

is his slow now?

He’s not as fast as he used to be that’s for sure, but my roller comment was more to the point that he doesn’t stop/ start anymore. Just circles around endlessly.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Carter probably still has a place in Cherry Hill or at least ties to that area.

 

[Bandit]

This better not fall through.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

How has no one else confirmed this except a retired Bob Mckenzie who's said nothing the last few weeks? Lol

 

[Darren McCord]

Gotcha. Pens need a right hand shot and people who actually want to shoot. They have enough defensive first forwards in the bottom 6. Maybe he can actually bring some shot volume.
