The LA Kings need a healthy Jeff Carter, that’s a fact. The 2006 first-round pick came to the Kings in a 2012 trade deadline deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets and paid immediate dividends, helping the club win the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014.
He was especially outstanding during the 2014 championship run, centering “that 70’s line” with Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson on his wings. In his ten years with the Kings, Carter has played 541 games, scoring 187 goals and 179 assists.
