This is just Carlson’s third NHL team across his 17-year career, as the longtime Washington Capitals defenceman was dealt to the Anaheim Ducks ahead of last season’s trade deadline.
Carlson, 36, was dealt to the Carolina Hurricanes before free agency opened, but the two sides could not agree on terms for a contract.
Carolina sent the 192nd-overall pick in the 2026 draft and minor-league defenceman Kyle Masters to Anaheim to get a shot at negotiating with Carlson early.
The Ducks used the 192nd pick to take WHL forward Noah Kosick.
Carlson played 16 regular-season games with the Ducks, potting four goals and 14 points in that span. In 12 post-season games, Carlson had six assists and helped the Ducks dispatch the two-time Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers in Round 1.
The Natick, Mass., native has 1,159 NHL games under his belt, with 170 goals and 785 points in that span. He won a Stanley Cup with the Capitals in 2018.
