The New Jersey Devils brought back defenseman Connor Carrick on a two-year deal. It’s not really a surprise since the Devils did give him a qualifying offer, but what was slightly a surprise was the contract he got. The Devils gave him two years, and $1.5 million per season.
The Devils basically replaced Steven Santini‘s salary with Carrick’s. It’s probably a universal thought that Carrick showed he was a better player than Santini last season. However, did we think he’d get a two-year deal?
It’s not like he definitely doesn’t deserve it.
