Hurricanes Acquire Anson Carter from Columbus

[J_Shelley45]

We should all bow down in front of Rutherford....ooops, wait, Dougie is still in that position. Crap trade for the BJ's but good riddance to Carter. Coulda got more for him yet again but Dougie never seems to be on the good side of a trade. Salary dump yeah, but you could get more than a dump for him.....duh! Maybe one of their 10 defenders? Or is the CBJ blueline really that solid. <-----Dougie

If anyone has seen Carter play this season, getting anything for him is pretty good. The scouts camping out in Nationwide Arena lately weren't exactly treated to an overwhelming auditon by Anson. I was excited when he was signed since it didn't appear Zherdev was going to be here. Once Zherdev signed, Carter really didn't have a role on this team. He had a few good games, but overall he was a waste of $2.5 million. He was going to be an UFA after the season, so getting anything in return was okay in my book. Seemed like a nice guy, so I hope he does well in Carolina.

Carter is a bum. A 5th round pick is probably more than he's worth. I remember arguing with some of you Blue Jackets fans during the summer when they signed him. I knew he wouldn't end up doing ****.

To answer your previous question:

Drafted in 1992 by the Nordiques
traded to Washington and played his first NHL games there in 1996/97
traded to Boston that season where he had his longest stint so far
signed (I think) by the Oilers in 2000
traded to the Rangers at the deadline in 2002/2003
traded to Washington in 2003/2004
traded to LA at the deadline in 2003/2004
signed in Vancouver in 2005
signed in Columbus in 2006
traded to Carolina

He reminds me a little bit of Geoff Sanderson, a decent scorer when playing alongside a good playmaker otherwise pretty much useless, well actually he is even worse then Sanderson who can help a team with his speed and forechecking.

I still laugh at his fight against Buchbergar. I actually thought Bucky was gonna win one.. then it was like Buckwheat came out of the jersey and unloaded on him. then he even gave a toughguy stare like he just blasted someone who was also tough.
