Same. He’s been everything we could ask for and more. I couldn’t pass up the chance to use that toothless pic and quote lol.
Very happy with this contract. Hes been solid since being traded to the Pens.
You're assuming that Carter's camp needed to be lowballed to leak that. Arizona seemingly leaked that they've received their asking price for Chychrun in order to try to get even better offers. I wouldn't put it past a player agent to leak a rumor to try to get a better offer for his client. It doesn't mean that Hextall lowballed Carter. Hextall may've offered $3M and Carter's camp wanted a little more. Hextall may've offered $3.125M and Carter's camp wanted a no movement clause. Hextall may've offered $3.125M and a NMC for one year and Carter's camp wanted two years. Hextall may've even offered exactly what the deal was and Carter's camp wanted more and failed. We don't know. It's fair to ask why Carter's camp would resort to such tactics if the offer was close to what they wanted, but you never know with agents and it's also fair to ask where the rumor came from. It doesn't make much sense for someone to simply make up such a rather specific rumor to such a puzzling destination in what we now know was the middle of extension talks.

Yay.
Seems fair. He has been very good for us and seems to be enjoying himself. It might not be a massive vet chasing cup discount a'la Perry, but then JC has cups already and has been producing at a different level. Seems like a good deal for both sides.
Now just hope Geno and Letang will look at that app. 40% salary reduction and feel the good family vibes. Well, Letang won't accept that, but Geno at... 5.71... for three more years would make things a lot easier going forward.

He's getting older, but this seems like a bargain of a deal for what he still brings to the table. And 2 years isn't exactly the most huge risk of him falling off a cliff.
Obviously he likes playing there, in that role. Which is fair. It's a win-win for player and team i guess.

Pending UFAs don’t need to manufacture fake rumors of a desire to travel the Alps to get their offers up. Just the possibility of hitting the open market or even retiring if the dollar figure isn’t what you have in mind is plenty of leverage. The highest paid players in the Swiss league make about the NHL minimum. And the whole “point” of the Swiss league BS was that he supposedly wasn’t in it for money lol
Everyone is losing their heads. It wasn’t real. It made no sense and had no precedent. Guy probably just confused Carter with some other player.

Exactly, there are so many other ways to go about asking for more money without bringing a random Swiss team into it.
He could just say "I want to test the market".
This isn't a commentary on the legitimacy of the source either, no one is infallible no matter how good they are.

Switzburg! Nice! Have you been to the Switzburg Alps? It's the go to place.
Or sign the guy who in his 56 games as a Penguin has scored at 36 goal 60 point pace.

The guy who broke the news appologized on twitter today for the false information. Apparently he was informed by someone that they konw a teacher who left for the US to teach Carter's kids German to prepare them for the upcoming move. Seems to have been a bad source, happens and we can now move on.

Roost is usually not in the rumors business, he probably was just happy to announce such a big transfer for our league and didn't double check or wait long enough.
It was a rumor after all, nothing more.

Absolutely, I also doubt that he thought it would be discussed outside of our Swiss hockey world.

Carter has been great for the Pens. Honestly, he's my favorite third line center they've had since Staal. I hope he continues to be so effective and fun to watch for the next two seasons.
