Jeff Carter was supposed to be the big peice to Rick Nash's puzzle, but instead of moving him and building around Carter and Wiz, they are going to re-re-re build around Nash?". Three things: 1) The Carter trade was a good trade to land an impact #1 centermen that CLS has need for a long time... problem was it was the wrong kind of center they needed (shooter, not playmaker). That was a mistake since Nash is a shooter too. He needs a setup man. It's no wonder the two never developed any chemistry. 2) They were never going to make Carter "the franchise". No way. Especially after Carter made it clear from the moment the trade was announced he didn't want to play in CLS. Nash has been "the franchise" since he was drafted. Management just never gave him anyone to play with. They mistakenly believed Carter was a guy who could play with him. 3) CLS isn't going to re-re-re build around Nash. He's being a really loyal team guy and I don't think it was his decision to move on. I think it was managements decision and they approached Nash to waive his NTC. I think that's the right decision for the club because they STINK. I love Nash but it's time to move him (at the draft!) in order to really re-build this team starting with the assests they would aquire in a deal for him. - Mike Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:52:09 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4416-the-kings-land-jeff-carter#comment-19629 I just don't get this trade. Jeff Carter was supposed to be the big peice to Rick Nash's puzzle, but instead of moving him and building around Carter and Wiz, they are going to re-re-re-build around Nash? Also, what if Nash gets moved? I can't see Columbus fans being patient any longer. - Superchief Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:01:29 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4416-the-kings-land-jeff-carter#comment-19619 What about Nikitin in this deal? Gotta think this hurts him? JJ taking the PP time away from him? As well until and if Nash is moved this might slightly hurt him a bit in that latley the 2 have been clicking. And now he's back to playing with upandcomers. - david Fri, 24 Feb 2012 06:42:04 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4416-the-kings-land-jeff-carter#comment-19608 You list Johnson at 7 in Helped from this deal. Can help but think that anybody going to Columbus is worse off in almost every fastasy respect. I have and Carter and cringed last year when Carter was moved to Clb. I'm pretty sure you listed him as a Help then too and look how that turned out. No - this definitely hurts Johnson. - lcbtd Fri, 24 Feb 2012 03:45:52 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4416-the-kings-land-jeff-carter#comment-19602 I'm not sure how much this deal will actually help Johansen. His ice time and oppurtunity have been limited all year under both coaches and he rarely plays center. They have him playing LW mostly. Puckrakers reported that at practice yesterday Richards wouldn't commit to playing Johansen at center, even after the deadline. Columbus has had a difficult time developing prospects and I'm just praying they don't screw up Johansen. - Mike Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:11:11 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4416-the-kings-land-jeff-carter#comment-19601 No. There defense got a spark in terms of offense but they are still a weak group as a whole defensively. - Mike Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:06:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4416-the-kings-land-jeff-carter#comment-19600 LA should've kept Schenn (who's potential is higher than Richards imo) and Simmonds while keeping the roster space open to develop Loktionov, Kitsyn, Toffoli, etc while waiting for Kopitar to mature more and play like a star for 80 games rather than 60. That was the way to rebuild in the NHL. Instead, they got deluded and bought into the hype that they were just a couple pieces away from competing because they made early playoff rounds a few years. Now unless some of their youngsters develop into stars, they're going to be stuck as a team which gets knocked out in the 1st-3rd round year after year. And their number one dman Doughty has regressed badly (based on how he played against Phx, Cgy, and Col recently). - Uzair Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:24:24 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4416-the-kings-land-jeff-carter#comment-19599 Does this help any of the CLS Goalies? - emustyle Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:09:57 +0100
