Sometimes when players are traded, they look at their calendar to figure out when they’ll get a chance to play their new team. But in the case of new Dallas Stars defenseman Connor Carrick, he already knew he’d be seeing the Toronto Maple Leafs again very soon:
I knew right away,” Carrick said... “It was after playing in Chicago, and I am from Chicago, and I knew where we were going with the Leafs, and I am excited to be on the other side of it.”
Carrick joins Roman Polak as two former Maple Leafs who have now found themselves on the Stars blueline.
