It was really hard to read the news yesterday announcing that Ryan Carter had been released from his PTO with the Minnesota Wild. At the beginning of camp, it was thought that the 10 season NHL veteran and two season Wild veteran had an above average chance to make this team. Why not, he was a competing for at least three open roster spots against players who had either played very little or no minutes at the NHL level.
Still it just seemed like he never quite could get his game going to take his advantage and turn it into results.
