2024 Fantasy Outlook
After splitting the 2023-24 season between Anaheim and Edmonton, Carrick made the move to the Big Apple, signing a three-year, $3 million contract with the Rangers. The gritty forward's role figures to be fairly straightforward - dish out hits and offer depth scoring while filling out a bottom-six role. In terms of special terms, Carrick figures to see significantly more ice time with the penalty kill than the power play. All that points to a player with minimal fantasy upside - though he could provide some categorical help in banger leagues that require hits and PIM. Read Past Outlooks

Tallies in team debut

Carrick scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Penguins.
ANALYSIS
Carrick was signed in free agency to center the fourth line, and it didn't take him long to make an impact in his Rangers debut. His goal opened the scoring at 2:24 of the first period. It was his first career game-winning goal. The 32-year-old could play a larger role with the Blueshirts than he did down the stretch with Edmonton last season. That said, Carrick has never reached the 20-point mark in a single season, and his fourth-line usage isn't something that is likely to lead to a large increase in offense.

No one can claim Carrick hasn't paid his dues. Taken by Toronto with the No. 144 overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Carrick started his pro career in the ECHL and didn't log more than 20 NHL contests in a single season until 2021-22, when he had 11 goals, 19 points, 85 PIM and 122 hits in 64 appearances with Anaheim. He followed that up with three goals, seven points, 86 PIM and 98 hits in 52 outings last season. The 31-year-old's gritty play has helped him stay in the Ducks' lineup, but he's not expected to serve in more than a fourth-line role.
Carrick has only appeared in 25 games at the NHL level, but he could be a late bloomer. He posted 61 points in as many games with AHL San Diego last season, and with the Ducks suddenly thin up the middle, the 27-year-old center should get a chance to compete for a bottom-six role this fall. However, even if he does land a spot on the parent club's roster for Opening Night, Carrick likely won't make much of an impact in the fantasy arena in 2019-20.
Carrick has character -- he captained the OHL Brampton Battalion last year -- but he's not a top-end offensive talent. He profiles as a two-way energy type in the pros, but he'll be riding the buses for a while before he sees NHL ice.
