RYAN CARPENTER - Center - 28 - $1MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2022-2023
LAST UPDATED 7/26/19
Like Drake Caggiula, Ryan Carpenter is the type of solid, somewhat unimpressive, versatile, cheap bottom-6 filler that teams with a top-dollar core locked up need to survive. Carpenter is a proven AHL scorer, and has shown the ability to chip in on offense at the NHL level. He's not the biggest player, but he's got a physical touch and is strong enough to make a positive impact in the corners in his own zone. He's not an overpowering defensive presence, but he can hold his own in his own end. The same can be said about his offense. His skills that carry him in the AHL are only mediocre in the NHL, causing Carpenter to shift his playstyle to adapt to a more challenging game. Carpenter isn't strong enough or fast enough to create time and space consistently enough to take on legitimate offensive responsibilities, but he's also just skilled enough to chip in a goal or assist here and there. He's a character player with a good work ethic, and can easily slot in as an average third or fourth liner at the NHL level.
