2024 Fantasy Outlook
After splitting the 2023-24 season between Anaheim and Edmonton, Carrick made the move to the Big Apple, signing a three-year, $3 million contract with the Rangers. The gritty forward's role figures to be fairly straightforward - dish out hits and offer depth scoring while filling out a bottom-six role. In terms of special terms, Carrick figures to see significantly more ice time with the penalty kill than the power play. All that points to a player with minimal fantasy upside - though he could provide some categorical help in banger leagues that require hits and PIM. Read Past Outlooks

Carrick is awaiting the birth of his child and won't play Tuesday versus the Kings, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear if Carrick will remain away from the team for the rest of their road trip, which also features games Friday in Anaheim and Saturday in San Jose. Nicolas Aube-Kubel or Brett Berard will play in place of Carrick for Tuesday's game.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2012
No one can claim Carrick hasn't paid his dues. Taken by Toronto with the No. 144 overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Carrick started his pro career in the ECHL and didn't log more than 20 NHL contests in a single season until 2021-22, when he had 11 goals, 19 points, 85 PIM and 122 hits in 64 appearances with Anaheim. He followed that up with three goals, seven points, 86 PIM and 98 hits in 52 outings last season. The 31-year-old's gritty play has helped him stay in the Ducks' lineup, but he's not expected to serve in more than a fourth-line role.
Carrick has only appeared in 25 games at the NHL level, but he could be a late bloomer. He posted 61 points in as many games with AHL San Diego last season, and with the Ducks suddenly thin up the middle, the 27-year-old center should get a chance to compete for a bottom-six role this fall. However, even if he does land a spot on the parent club's roster for Opening Night, Carrick likely won't make much of an impact in the fantasy arena in 2019-20.
Carrick has character -- he captained the OHL Brampton Battalion last year -- but he's not a top-end offensive talent. He profiles as a two-way energy type in the pros, but he'll be riding the buses for a while before he sees NHL ice.
