Carrick signed a contract with HC Lugano on Wednesday, per Patrick Williams of TheAHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Carrick hasn't played in the NHL since 2022-23. He played on a two-way contract with the Oilers this year but only saw one call-up from AHL Bakersfield. The 31-year-old defenseman is a long shot to see any NHL action again in his career.

Carrick was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers will have to play shorthanded on defense Wednesday versus the Sharks. Carrick could be back with the Oilers in the postseason to serve as a depth player, but it's unlikely he'll play.

Carrick was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday on an emergency basis.

EDGE Analysis

Carrick has accumulated 17 goals, 39 points and 87 PIM in 60 minor-league outings this season. With Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed), John Klingberg (lower body), Troy Stecher (undisclosed) and Jake Walman (undisclosed) dealing with injuries, and Darnell Nurse likely to be suspended, Carrick will probably play in Wednesday's regular-season finale against San Jose.

Carrick was placed on waivers Sunday for the purpose of assignment, according to Mark Spector of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Carrick's last appearance in the NHL came during the 2022-23 campaign with Boston, where he appeared in just one contest. The 30-year-old was productive with AHL Coachella Valley in 2023-24, generating 34 points in 70 regular-season games. Carrick will likely be limited to AHL time this year, barring injury to Edmonton's blueliners.

Carrick signed a one-year, two-way contract with Edmonton on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Carrick registered nine goals, 34 points and 66 PIM across 70 regular-season outings for AHL Coachella Valley in 2023-24. He will probably spend most, if not all, of 2024-25 in the minors. The 30-year-old rearguard has 13 goals and 50 points in 242 career NHL contests.

Seattle placed Carrick on waivers Thursday, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrick had six goals and 44 points in 63 AHL appearances with Providence last season. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, then he'll likely start the campaign with AHL Coachella Valley.

Carrick signed a one-year, two-way contract with Seattle on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Carrick supplied six goals and 44 points in 63 games with AHL Providence last season. He also picked up an assist for Boston during his only NHL appearance of 2022-23. Carrick, who was a member of the Seattle organization during the 2021-22 campaign, is likely to spend most, if not all, of next year in the minors.

Carrick was assigned to AHL Providence on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Carrick picked up an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in 16:54 of ice time during his NHL season debut on Sunday against Philadelphia. He also concluded Boston's 5-3 win with a plus-3 rating. Carrick's demotion bodes well for Charlie McAvoy (undisclosed) and/or Dmitry Orlov (back) ahead of Tuesday's contest versus Washington.

Carrick was brought up from AHL Providence on an emergency basis Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Carrick has six goals and 41 points in 60 games with AHL Providence this season. He could make his Boston debut Sunday versus the Flyers.

Carrick was placed on waivers by Boston on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Carrick just returned to the lineup on Monday from an upper-body injury in preseason action versus New Jersey. He didn't see any NHL playing time last year during the regular season. Carrick compiled 10 goals and 32 points in 59 games with Charlotte of the AHL in 2021-22.
