Confirmed with Link: Sam Carrick to be Signed by NYR (3 year / 1M per season)

[E-Train]

Looking at Goodrow production at 1/4 the price. That and it can be buried if needed

 

[Barnaby]

Solid vet signing. He can be buried if necessary.

We all like to hope kids come up and are improvement on all their vet counterparts, but that isn’t always the case.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Hopefully Edstrom and Rempe and some of the other kids make him a 13th forward or AHLer.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Always good when we are talking about burying a guy before the signing is official

3 year deal = they like this guy…he’s gonna play

 

[hi]

3 years makes absolutely no sense. Off to a great start!

 

[bhamill]

ironically he's really not an upgrade on Brodzinski

Maybe not stats wise, but he plays a way heavier game than Brodz, so stylistically he is an upgrade in my eyes.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Basically a tougher goodrow at 1/4 of the price and the ability to bury it hartford. Hard to complain here. Carrick can chuck em

He can play in Hartford if need be with no impact on our cap. This is a zero risk signing.

Agreed.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Upgrade over Brodstinksi so hopefully, Brodzinski will stay in Hartford all season this time around.

People who hate on Brodzinski are so weird. He's actually a useful piece given his pay and role on the team.

Do you know how rare it is for a team to have a guy that can come in from their AHL team and actually play decent minutes without sucking ass?

Your expectations for whatever you expect him to be are wildly out of whack.

 

[gump116]

3 year term makes it less likely another team would pick him up if he’s waived. At worst, he’s forward depth in Hartford that doesn’t count against the cap.

This is true, but ideally you want the team at a level where he is in the AHL all season. I’m not hating on him, I agree he’s a useful tweener. I just want a team that’s too good for him to make.

He’s a top forward in Hartford, plays big minutes. More useful to Hartford than Rangers.. Rather see Edstrom or Rempe get his ice time.

 

[noncents]

anyone who was penciling in a Cuylle-Edstrom-Rempe 4th line was out to lunch. lavi and every other coach like veterans on 4th line.

54% xgf last year so we'll see

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Totally fine @ $1M per.

If it was $1.5-$2M, I'd be pissed.

 

[Priorae]

He should get to know Amtrak well. Probably splits time between Hartford / NY, allows for roster flexibility.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Someone hog tie Drury and stuff him in a closet please.

Sounds excessive for this completely zero risk signing… hahaha.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

If they had a boat load of cap.space and we're trying to reach the cap floor and not contending for a Cup, fine go balls to the wall and sign all these gutter trash players.

Drury gets an ounce of cap space and wastes it immediately.

There are internal options better than this.

He's not going to be blocking some kid if that kid is ready. Edmonton picked him up at a deadline for a reason though. He comes to play and he'll stick up for his teammates. You can go to war with guys like him. He's committed.

To me he compares to Brodzinski in that Jonny also comes to play. He's just not as aggressive. But both of them know if they're going to stick in the NHL they're going to have to give their all night in night out. Carrick can kill pm's, he'll hit and he's decent at face-offs. He's always there for his teammates. He'll fight. There are a lot of little things he's willing to do. On the same line with Rempe that might work out just fine. We'll see. As far as the 3 years I think there's a pretty good chance he's on another team or down in Hartford before his term is up. For now though I like the signing.

 

[I Eat Crow]

This is a nothing signing. I fully expect Edstrom to win a roster spot over him.

If he plays in Hartford he counts ZERO against the cap… there’s no risk here whatsoever.

If this is your take on a $1M deal, I think you need to go outside and touch grass.

 

[will1066]

Carrick also brings a Cup-participation pedigree. Something our guys lack.

 

[TheDirtyH]

3 years lmao

never change NYR

It's the 3 years at 1M for an offensive black hole. It's something that didn't need to happen.
