    When you look at the diverse skill set and what he was able to do on a team far less talented than the other top D in the draft…glad to see him in a Sens sweater.

    Reminds me of a Dion Phaneuf a little. big guy heavy shot and big hits. Love this pick
  • @JustinCaesar
    can't go wrong with this pick hands down one of the best RD your gonna get in this draft not as flashy as some of the other picks people were thinking like parekh but it's probably the safest pick you can make can't wait to watch him play in ottawa
  • @DarthChewie
    Great pick! Big RD with plenty of offensive upside and uses his size in the d-zone. Players like that are hard to find!
  • @scott7621
    I really like this pick. The run on forwards gave us our pick of D men. I love this kids offensive game and the nastiness he plays with in his own zone. Improve his skating and play in his own zone and the sky is the limit for this kid. He has a very high ceiling. Welcome to Ottawa Carter!

    I'm happy with this pick. Not worried about him improving his weak points because the Sens staff will do a good job molding him to a much better player all around, snd with the other superstars on the team," he do nicely" congratulations on becoming a Ottawa Senators. Go Sens Go.
  • @Psycho-PL
    good shit im glad they decided to pick him Ottawa needed a good right handed D man, this guy has much potential
  • @BaneOfV
    Get ready for him to become a good skater in ottawa. He will be filthy. Not a #1 but perfect top pair RHD for the playoffs to compliment chabby/sanderson

    Fun Fact - Carter is a Burger King scion! His father owns two franchises in Fort McMurray.
