Jeff Carter while on the downside of his career, showed in the first period why he’s an intriguing trade target from clubs ahead of the deadline with a great individual goal for his 9th on the season. Carter, 34, has three years left on his deal with a $5.27 million cap hit, but is only owed $7 million in cash (2019-2020 – 2021/2022). Carter can still play anywhere in the lineup, lacks a NTC, but the Carter camp has sent signals to clubs around the league that retirement is a possibility next season if Carter is traded from LA.
