Confirmed Signing with Link: [NSH] Matt Carle (1 year, $700K)

[Philadelphia Ducks]

But he's better or equal to Ryan Suter.

lul, I remember that

 

[Legionnaire11]

He's an upgrade on Jackman and Bitetto.

Probably on par with Jackman before he really lost it down the stretch last year. Bitetto on the other hand is clearly better than both, you could watch him get noticeably better as the year went on and he definitely deserves to get the benefit of the doubt as the number 5 going into camp, smart player who skates well, but that 5 spot is probably his ceiling.

Agreed, 2bit is turning into a solid physical 2 way guy.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

He won't be playing against the Pens much so he should be ok

 

[Rebels57]

Hopefully he is their #7. He sure does suck now.

 

[thecloser]

the guy is still being paid by Tampa. They're basically paying him to play for us.

It's a depth move and adds some veteran presence to the blueline. I don't mind the signing.

But he's better or equal to Ryan Suter.

Example A why to not solely rely on advanced stats. Those were fun days.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Ehh.

I imagine a kick from Matt Carle being about as violent as a fly landing on your arm.

He didn't say he was wristing his dog...

 

[SEALBound]

Good depth signing. What the hell.

 

[Soundgarden]

He'll fight with Weber and Granberg for no.6-7 spot. Almost league minimum and our bottom pairing was a sore spot for us in the playoffs.

 

[Iceman]

Yeah.... no.

 

[mgd525]

Carle sucks but at 700k, nothing wrong with this for NSH. He should be the number 7 or will get sent down.

 

[Iceman]

When team sign worthless pylons you realize money is a non-factor.

I would suit up for 82 games for $700,000 if you want, Nashville? Call me.

 

[mariolemieux66]

At 700k I would take him on my team anytime.

 

[me2]

I think at 5.5 he was pretty bad, but as a third pairing guy at just over league minimum it might be okay.

That's not even 3rd pairing money, that's 7/8 spare Dman/veteran AHL callup money.

Solid deal for Nashville.

 

[Sky04]

700k for Carle is a steal imo..

 

[dingbathero]

Strongest wrist shot in the NHL

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Great signing! Carle is a solid top 4 defenseman. Maybe even top 2.

Ye what a steal of a contract. Must be cup chasing

 

[huntison]

Who's better. Carle or Sbisa. Don't consider cap/salary

If that's your justification, you're free to it. At least the team isn't shelling out 5.5M a year for this bum anymore.

 

[DFC]

Shocked he got a spot.

Seems like a good guy, so I wish him the best. Maybe the motivation of having to basically start over will spark him to get his game back. But, as of now, he's a liability more nights than he's not. He's not an NHL defenseman anymore.

 

[creg78*]

Nashville loading up on talent this year, good depth move for them

 

[biturbo19]

Anything that could keep Y.Weber out of the Preds lineup is pretty much a win. Their Top-4 is pretty stacked, but their 3rd pairing looks kinda like garbage.

At $700k, not really much harm in giving Carle a shot. He really cannot be worse than Weber, honestly. I just don't think it can be done.

Welcome to a whole new dimension...

Have fun.
