Ryan Carpenter Signs With Chicago Blackhawks

July 1, 2019 at 11:34 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 5 Comments

The Chicago Blackhawks have added a depth forward, signing Ryan Carpenter to a three-year deal. The contract carries just a $1MM average annual value, giving the team an inexpensive center to plug into the bottom-six.

Carpenter signed with the San Jose Sharks after three years at Bowling Green State University and had trouble cracking the San Jose Sharks’ lineup, playing just 27 NHL games for them over three seasons before the Sharks opted to place him on waivers. He was claimed back in 2017 by the Vegas Golden Knights in their inaugural season and his physicality and offensive ability earned him a spot on the team’s bottom six as he scored nine goals in 36 games and returned for a full season last year. Carpenter played in a career-high 68 games, but found himself often scratched late in the season as Vegas was rotating him and a number of other forwards in and out of their third line, including Brandon Pirri, Tomas Nosek and Valentin Zykov, although Carpenter also was able to fill in on the team’s fourth line as well. With the addition of Nikita Gusev, Carpenter was expendable.

In Chicago, the 28-year-old should find a more permanent home on the Blackhawks’ fourth line. The team just added forward Andrew Shaw, who will likely center that line. Carpenter should add that combination of physical play with some offensive ability. Regardless, he’ll have to hold off a number of players who will be looking for playing time, including John Quenneville, Dylan Sikura, Dominik Kubalik, Anton Wedin.

    Now all the Bowman jock sniffers will say what a great move. Let’s instead talk about how he gave 2 years of Panarin away for a bust in Saad. And if he was never traded chances are he resigns here for less.
    Wish my Daddy got me a job and BTW he didn’t. Every home, car, boat and all the others toys my wife and I earned on our own.
    Bowman is a joke

    You are miserable. Saad was on a steady incline in production and a better 2 way player for the same AAV. Obviously not the same offensive production. It was definitely hasty to trade Panarin but not as horrible as you portray. Hindsight is your best weapon so you can burn someone all day for mistakes quite easily with that. Your posts are terrible and redundant. I wish I could block trolls such as yourself. Carpenter is a good depth piece for a low price tag. Signing players this year is expensive. Look at the money flying around this year, overpaid players all over the place already. Also come expansion draft their are only 4 no movement clauses left on the payroll. That gives great flexibility when the time comes.

    Bowman has 3 Stanley Cups. You got one of those?

    How you believe Panarin would have signed for less here is remarkably stupid. He was not going to resign here, because they cant afford another 10 mil + player, which even if he signed for less, he would have been over 10 mil AAV.

    Bowman has had a pretty solid off season, but your so hung up on hating him that you criticize every move he makes. It’s old and its tired.
