The One NHL Trade Every Fan Wishes They Could Erase—And Why It Still Haunts Their Team
The Blue Jackets were desperate — desperate! — to find a center who could play with Rick Nash, and they hoped Carter was the answer. He wasn’t, and he didn’t want to be, either. Carter never clicked with Nash, pouted constantly and was traded the following February. Worse, the Blue Jackets gave up Voracek, a highly skilled winger who played over 1,000 games and scored more than 800 points. There were two draft picks in the trade, too, and Philly turned them into Sean Couturier and Nick Cousins. — Aaron Portzline
