After steadily declining to his current state, it's almost time to buyout Matt Carle.
When the Tampa Bay Lightning signed defenseman Matthew Carle to a six year contract for $5.5 million per year, he was coming off three consecutive seasons of at least 35 points with the Philadelphia Flyers. He had become a steady top-four presence and was one of the top defensemen available in free agency going into 2012-13. His first couple years, he continued right around the same point per game production for the Lightning. After that though, he steadily declined.
