Papayas Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Canucks should have kept him...Exactly the type of player we needed with the Sedins against the Bruins. Carter big body that could could finish. Burrows has finish, not the size and strength of Carter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Karlsson Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 you actually think Anson Carter would still be playing against the Bruin in 2011 on the side of the Sedins? The reason he did so well with the Sedins at that time was because it was the Sedins' first season being a first liner. The teams didn't study them as well as they did in the last few years. Anson can literally just park himself in front of the net waiting for Henrik to feed him. This will not work even if the canucks re-sign Carter, let alone saying he will be a difference maker in 2000 freaking 11 beside the Sedins.

Spoosh Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Proves how stupid Canucks management was back then. You finally got a player with great chemistry with the Sedins, and then you totally lowballed him (he deserved at least 2.5 million but was offered like 1.5 IIRC). Then you traded away draft picks for Taylor Pyatt and gave him a 1.5 million contract. While he was relatively effective with the twins, the Sedins never got a reliable linemate again until Alex Burrows (and Samuelsson) a few years later. FYI, the 4th rounder used for Pyatt eventually turned into Keith Aulie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 If we signed Carter, we'd never had the Burrows chemistry and then he would never have slayed the dragon and we'd be in an eternal Blackhawk-limbo... How is that for a Keith Aulie? What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papayas Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Burrows would have been playing alongside Kesler as what did for the longest time. While you're throwing out random unprovable scenarios, I could easily just counter with that Anson Carter could have done some wicked game 7 heroics against Boston and brought the Cup to Vancouver.

OncebeforeIdie Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I am not sure what to say other then give it a listen. Carter did an interview with the guys from flames radio this morning. http://pmd.fan960.com/audio_on_demand_2013/Anson-Carter-with-Andrew-Walker,-Rhett-Warrener-and-Brendan-Parker-AW-20130320-Interview.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Bang Boogie Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Anson Carter's picture is in the HHOF from his Team Canada days. I lol'ed pretty hard when I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteeun Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Carter would been 36 when we faced Boston in 2011. You actually think he will still play in first line at that age? Ffs he can't even stay in the nhl 2 years after he left the nucks. N suddenly he's the hero in 2011's cup run Jesus Christ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
