| What Scouts Say | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Carter is a solid prototypical power forward; he
knows the game and really is astute at the power-play and penalty kill,
offensive and defensive parts of his game. He has been complimented for
being hockey smart, perhaps the savvy coming from his dad who played 998
games in the NHL." "Long limbed grinder has excellent hands and plays
a pro style game. Tantalizing combination of huge frame, good skating
stride, and goal scoring hands. Is very tough to handle along the boards
and in the front of the net. Takes hits amazingly well - protects the
puck and never gets knocked off it. Not a big banger, but knows how to
leverage his big frame and wins battles for pucks." "He's highly skilled - he skates well and has great
hands in tight. He just has to work on his compete level in all three
zones." |
