According to War on Ice, Carter put up points at .84 Points per 60 in his 62 games last season at 5v5. In his 7-season career, Carter has been a positive Corsi player for 3 years, including the previous 2 seasons.

The move is likely a move for depth, preparing for injury, etc. Carter has not been horrendous, from a #FancyStat point of view, but nor has he been stellar. The winger has played against relatively easy competition, and with relatively bad teammates for the past few seasons, and is likely hoping to re-start his career; at 31 years old, time is running short for the White Bear Lake native.
