Why does everyone hate Carter and think Leino is so much better for the team. Assuming Leino gets 3.5 to 4 per year, he will be making less than Carter. And Leino had an awesome playoff run last year while Carter looked a little lost in the playoffs. BUt he is a young sniper with an affordable cap hit given his production. 36 goals (7th in the league), a +27 and 3rd on the team in production vs. 19 goals and a +14 for Leino. And Carter was 13th in the NHL and tops on the Flyers in game winners. It isn't that I think he is a Hall of Famer, but the concept that simply dumping him just so we can afford Leino seems short sighted.
Moving him because his return would be so high and to fit other pieces under the cap makes sense. BUt that only bolsters my argument. SInce there are so many teams that want to give us such a high return for him, he is obviously not a garbage player.
