Sam Carrick

33-Year-Old CenterC
New York Rangers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Carrick was a bright spot for the Rangers in 2024-25, as he posted a career-high 20 points over 80 regular-season appearances. He was firmly in a bottom-six role, frequently as the fourth-line center, though his function occasionally changed as the Rangers tried to keep their season on track. Carrick also had 137 hits, 42 blocked shots, 58 PIM and a plus-4 rating. Realistically, there's not much of a fantasy spin for most fourth liners -- Carrick is fine on the ice and adds a bit of grit, but he's not going to produce enough consistent offense to be on most fantasy rosters. He's also going into his age-33 campaign, so don't expect another career year. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, $3 million contract with the Rangers in July of 2024.
Rare goal in loss
CNew York Rangers
January 12, 2026
Carrick scored a goal Monday in a 4-2 loss to Seattle.
ANALYSIS
It was Carrick's second goal of the season. His first snipe came Oct. 28 and this one came 36 games later. Carrick's contributions for fantasy come with his hits (69), as he has just two goals and six assists in 47 games. He's a classic better on the ice than in the fantasy arena center.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2012
After splitting the 2023-24 season between Anaheim and Edmonton, Carrick made the move to the Big Apple, signing a three-year, $3 million contract with the Rangers. The gritty forward's role figures to be fairly straightforward - dish out hits and offer depth scoring while filling out a bottom-six role. In terms of special terms, Carrick figures to see significantly more ice time with the penalty kill than the power play. All that points to a player with minimal fantasy upside - though he could provide some categorical help in banger leagues that require hits and PIM.
No one can claim Carrick hasn't paid his dues. Taken by Toronto with the No. 144 overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Carrick started his pro career in the ECHL and didn't log more than 20 NHL contests in a single season until 2021-22, when he had 11 goals, 19 points, 85 PIM and 122 hits in 64 appearances with Anaheim. He followed that up with three goals, seven points, 86 PIM and 98 hits in 52 outings last season. The 31-year-old's gritty play has helped him stay in the Ducks' lineup, but he's not expected to serve in more than a fourth-line role.
Carrick has only appeared in 25 games at the NHL level, but he could be a late bloomer. He posted 61 points in as many games with AHL San Diego last season, and with the Ducks suddenly thin up the middle, the 27-year-old center should get a chance to compete for a bottom-six role this fall. However, even if he does land a spot on the parent club's roster for Opening Night, Carrick likely won't make much of an impact in the fantasy arena in 2019-20.
Carrick has character -- he captained the OHL Brampton Battalion last year -- but he's not a top-end offensive talent. He profiles as a two-way energy type in the pros, but he'll be riding the buses for a while before he sees NHL ice.
