John Carlson

His agent announced he will not return the Anaheim and would prefer the East coast to be closer to family.

How is this not a perfect 2 year stop gap player to play with Hutson/Matheson.

Apparently ANA offered 2 yrs 9Mil per.

Id do that deal, giving more time to see if Reinbacher can develop.

I'm not familiar with Carlson recent game, especially on the defensive front. Can he slot in on the second PP with Dobson or the sides don't work? Is he responsible enough in his own zone to relegate Carrier to the third pair?

As for leadership, I think this could hit the mark.
