Carrick had 10 goals and 16 points in 77 games played this past regular season. He also played 10 games in the postseason with the Edmonton Oilers, where he had 1 assist and 0.67 xG (via Project 94 Hockey). The center took 1780 face-offs in the entire season with both the Ducks and Oilers, winning 58% of his face-offs in the offensive zone. This will add solid center depth for the Rangers and at $1M AAV, the contract could be low risk, high reward. As with the Oilers, he can be extremely valuable in a late run and plug in where necessary for matchups or otherwise.
