We’re in the midst of a dry period of the NHL off-season, however the San Jose Sharks are still making deals announcing early this morning that they’ve traded for 25-year-old defenseman Trevor Carrick.
The 6-2 196 pound defender has spent the past 5 seasons within the Hurricanes organization playing big minutes and serving as an assistant captain for their AHL affiliate the Charlotte Checkers over the past 3 campaigns.
Known for his offensive skill, ability to transition the puck, and tenacity on the ice the 4th round draft pick in 2012 has accumulated 181 total points in 347 regular season games for the Checkers, per eliteprospects.
