29 Jeff Carter Trades I Just Might Say Yes To
Written by Ryan

I think Jeff Carter is a great hockey player. He scored 40 goals, he must be right? Ok, that last sentence was a little tongue in cheek, but I do think he's a very good NHL center. That being said, we are trying to win the Stanley Cup this, and at least next, season. I'm not sure how much more gas our #1 and #2 (and now our #6) have in them at 35 (and 38). Our defense is our cornerstone and over the next 6 seasons we will go as do Pronger and Timonen.

Jeff Carter is our most valuable asset and is going to be one of the most costly players in the NHL if he's allowed to hit the open market next summer. If there's one thing you should have learned by reading Philly.com over the past 5 years it's that hockey 'is a business.' So stop thinking sentimentally like you did when Scottie Upshall was traded, because these players will up and leave on you faster than a guy you meet at the Irish Pub when he hears your baby crying the next morning.

All of this, and the fact THAT THERE'S NO ROOM FOR HIM ON OUR TEAM mean that we need to trade Jeff Carter before this season begins. It's just the facts people - Richards, Briere (playoff version), and Giroux. No room up the middle. Jeff Carter is not a wing and neither is Briere. But Briere has a no-trade and isn't nearly as valuable as Carter. So we need to take Carts, promoting his 46 goal season, and get some serious wings, better defensemen, a #1 goalie, or some draft picks for him. As I'm writing this I'm sitting on the 42nd floor of a business building scraping the sky in Manhattan, and I have some friends at business school, so it's safe to say I know business.

Here are a number of packages, one from each team, I've been tweeting over the past couple days that I would jump all over for the guy who loves to high five:

Anaheim - Bobby Ryan and a 1st Rounder
Atlanta - Evander Kane and Bryan Little
Boston - Blake Wheeler and a 1st Rounder
Buffalo - Tim Kennedy, Tyler Ennis and a 2nd
Calgary - Robyn Regehr and David Moss
Carolina - Tim Gleason and Jussi Jokinen
Chicago - Dave Bolland and a 1st (not really much left on that squad…)
Colorado - Ryan O'Rielly and David Jones
Columbus - Steve Mason and Kris Russell
Dallas - Jamie Benn or James Neal and a 1st
Detroit - Niklas Kronwall a 1st, and a 2nd
Edmonton - Ryan Jones, Jordan Eberle, a 1st, and a 2nd
Florida - Tomas Vokun and they have to take Jody Shelley and Riley Cote
Los Angeles - Dustin Brown and a 1st
Minnesota - Cam Barker, Cal Clutterbuck, and a 1st
Montreal - PK Subban, Benoit Pouliot, and a 2nd
Nashville - Ryan Suter and a 1st
New Jersey - Andy Greene and two 1sts
NY Islanders - Mark Streit and a 1st
NY Rangers - Derelict Boogaard
Ottawa - Brian Lee and two 1sts
Phoenix - Shane Doan, Kyle Turris, and a 2nd
Pittsburgh - Ray Shero's nutty balls
San Jose - Jamie MCGinn, Devin Setoguchi, a 1st, and a 2nd
St. Louis - David Backes a 1st, and a 2nd
Tampa Bay - Mike Smith, Carter Ashton, a 1st, and a 2nd
Toronto - Luke Schenn and a 1st
Vancouver - Mikael Samuelsson, Rick Rypien, and a 1st
Washington - John Carlson and Jason Chimera and a 1st

Some of these moves would necessitate other moves, but I think Homer would have to seriously consider any of them. Just to give you an idea, former 40 goal man Tomas Vanek makes $7M a year. That's what we're looking at in 10/11.

We traded Brind'Amour after back-to-back 74 point seasons that followed 87 and 97 pointers. Great players get traded. We can trade Carter.

Do not cash to buy a house? Worry no more, because that is possible to receive the credit loans to resolve all the problems. Thence take a term loan to buy all you want.

I'm kinda with Dionne on this one. Obviously Homer just needs to apply for a loan, then he can buy whoever he wants. And some Gucci bags.

And Captain P, do you think Ryan is over-valuing Shero's Nutty Balls? I mean, they do have pedigree, but I'm not sure if I see it.

I will recommend not to hold off until you earn enough amount of cash to buy different goods! You can take the loan or just small business loan and feel comfortable

i think some of you are reading this the wrong way

i didn't read this as "the flyers should do one of these trades for jeff carter"

i read this as "if the flyers got an offer from each team for jeff carter, these are the things i would want"

1) pardon me for a typo I'm not perfect.
2) Everything that captain planet said is spot on. Why would any of the teams on this list make these trades?

However, if he were to hit FA, unlikely, though possible, he could warrant said money.

further more. Vanek makes 7 million because he was offer sheeted by Edmonton. Buffalo was forced to match. The top 30 point getters in the nhl this season, that are not on entry deals, that have signed deals based off similar production today, are anywhere between 3.3-9 mil. Take players such as Backstrom, Savard, Zetterberg, and Datsyuk. All of which have signed contracts in the 6 mil region, despite being ppg, or close to ppg players. There's no reason for Carter to make anymore than that. His production has not warranted it. And Phil Kessel, another "40" goal scorer, is making 5.5 mil as well.(He didn't score 40 goals, but his contract was signed assuming he would reach said plateau by Brian Burke.) So no, you don't even understand the business aspect of the game. There's absolutely no reason Carter couldn't be re-signed, though he is definitely one of your more valuable commodities, despite the fact his value is lower now than it would a year ago, because his contract expires a year from now, which does make a difference. In conclusion. This article is poorly, poorly presented.

this is really, really inconsistent value....You have no idea what other teams need, and you require more from some teams than others, and it's not just a rivalry thing either. This is really, really bad...

I'd jizz myself twelve times over if we traded Carter for Tim Gleason.

Thanks for the correcton EightEqualsD. I never get that one right.

Okay. I change my tune a little. Stud center for stud wing. You have shown me the light. I like that trade with Anaheim. Maybe Bobby steps it up a little further in front of the home folks. The first rounder is going to be late with continued Duck success but it's still vauable. And it's a win for Anaheim. Mostly because they cut down on the number of Ryans on the roster. That gets confusing for la la folk.

apologize* Well, I think my job here is finished.

Gange4ever, please tell me you aren't serious right now. If so, have you ever heard of sarcasm? Also, if GAGNE is your favorite player, please learn how to spell his name. If you are joking and your name is a running joke, then I appologize. Otherwise, your an idiot.

and no less to a rival team? You moron.

You would say yes to trading a 40 goal scorer who is going to be a restricted free agent next year for Boogard? Boogard has scored 2 goals over the course of his career. You're worse than Clarkie as a GM.
