"The Anaheim Ducks have had exploratory talks on an extension with Carlson since acquiring him from the Washington Capitals at the trade deadline. Carlson, who the Capitals dealt to the Anaheim Ducks at the trade deadline, is set to become an unrestricted free agent in July. However, according to The Athletic's Chris Johnston, the Ducks and Carlson have already had conversations about extending his stay out west."
"Since joining the Ducks at the deadline, Carlson has played 24 total games for Anaheim across the regular season and playoffs combined, recording 20 points (4g, 16a). During that span, Carlson has the fifth-most points on the team and the second-most points among Ducks defensemen, trailing only Jackson LaCombe (3g, 19a, 22pts)."
"Less than a month after the trade, Carlson was also named the NHL's Third Star of the Week for the week ending in March 29 after recording a staggering seven assists in three games. In the playoffs, he's averaging 24:34 per game, third most on the Ducks."
"“As weird as it is to say this and hear this coming out of my mouth, I actually can't comment on John because he's a property of another team, and that would be tampering,” Patrick said. “So it's kind of bizarre to even say that.”"
