ic0dex Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Did LA make the right chose on giving up Jack Johnson for Jeff Carter? http://www.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/nhl/story/2012-02-23/jeff-carter-trade/53228380/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikes99ej Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 No they did not. That team reeks of desperation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 CBJ wins. Now lets trade Jack Johnson to the NYI! Jack Johnson wondered where was worse than LI? Well ya got it! (no offense CBJ fans/residents) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropkickMurphy8 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 CBJ wins. Now lets trade Jack Johnson to the NYI! Yeah, for JT. Huge overpay for Carter UNLESS him and Richards connect like they did in Philly. I doubt that happens though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never actually connected in Philly together. For the most part, they were separated. One could argue that Richards played some bad hockey when partnered with Carter, especially in the Cup Finals. It was no coincidence that when Carter came back in the aforementioned playoff run, Richards' play decreased significantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mharolde Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 The funny part is a Michigan alumni going to Buckeye territory. Being a Kings fan I can tell you the move was definitely made out of desperation, an attempt for Deano to keep his job and a knee jerk reaction to the entire team minus Quick having a horrible season. Bottom line is if Carter and Richards can come back to form, not necessarily together, it will be a good move. The Kings have a couple of defensemen in the pipeline, namely Slava Voynov, whom people thought could've replaced Doughty had he not signed. The first round pick will most likely amount to little.

ic0dex Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I think LA made a mistake on this one No we needed a change and this is good. I think Darryl Sutter can and will make something happen with the team at least get us to the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sluggermatt15 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Jeff Carter for a decent defenseman AND a FIRST round pick? Wow.... just wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I really don't know what to think here. For some reason, players come to LA and their offense dies. When they're traded away, their numbers suddenly go back up. If Carter scores 30 a year in our system, I'll consider that a friggin' miracle.

I think that was the point of the trade, to bring Carter to LA where he has the players around him to reinvigorate his ability to score 30+ goals per year. Management must have seen that because they gave up A LOT (as I pointed out above) to get him. Now that he's reunited with Mike Richards and around players who can score, Carter has all the opportunity in the world to reach that potential, and to thrive in LA. IMO LA gave up a lot to get Carter. Only if he pans out does this trade "even out", in my opinion. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Don't want to start a new thread on this, but PuckDaddy and others are now talking about how LA acquiring Carter has a ripple effect on other potential trades. First it would seem that the Kings *may* now be out of the running for Nash (they were previously listed as a top contender) and also it seems perhaps Dustin Brown is available from the Kings. I'm now wondering if the Rangers shouldn't be going after Brown, and if the Kings deal him do they have anything to still go after Nash?

If Gretzky couldn't get us a CUP I don't think anyone will. I feel like my team is going to go down in history as the team that broke superstars. Carter had a broken leg so he's going to play a few games and be injured for the next 3 year collecting his pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Mckenzie tweeted earlier that to him, the players dont like Brown as a captain and he believes it's only a matter of time until Richards is the captain. For LA's sake, I really hope this Carter trade and potentially giving the C to Richards doesn't come back to bite them in the ######. Regardless of what Holmgren said about the reasons for trading the two, there was an obvious problem with the two. Reuniting them definitely opens up the possibilities of similar problems resurfacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, and no. The Kings definitely do not have enough to get Nash if they trade Brown, and the Rangers should only make a move under the right circumstances, I.E keeping the core intact. If they could manage to give up Kreider, another prospect or two and a pick and pry him away, sure, do it. I don't think he's worth as much as Nash, but I also don't think Nash is worth his asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
