He's a very good bluechip player that teams look like they are willing to possibly overpay for. Let's see...

You always listen to what other teams have to say. I seriously doubt the Flyers are looking to move Carter. If teams willing to overpay, he must be a pretty good player

He would much rather have the horse head in his bed when his half measures blow up in his face....

You apparently talked one scout freind and you now know the inside workings of the NHL trade scene? I think if Carter was truly on the market, there would be more than 3 teams coveting him. I love these comments towards Holmgren as if he's some chump who doesn't know what he's doing. Maybe you could give him a call and give him some advice and tell him what he should be doing.

Carter's time here has come and gone and I think he can possibly return more than he is worth.

Yea, who needs a solid two way player who is one of the top goal scorers in the League. LOL
