Daniel Carcillo is looking forward to the start of the NHL season as he has recovered from a torn ACL in his right knee and subsequent surgery in January. Carcillo is also looking to change his image as an enforcer, an image that has been shown to be true with 1068 penalty minutes in 310 career NHL games, and become a complete hockey player. "I've been feeling I have something to prove my whole career, to be honest," Carcillo said. "I came in and I got pigeonholed into a certain role which is obviously not what I want to be known for ultimately. There's always room to improve and get better and prove to myself more than anything that I can be an effective player and a useful tool in any situation on any team." Carcillo has shown some scoring touch and could score 20 goals in a full NHL season in the right circumstances.
