"According to The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta, Carlson, who has a 10-team no-trade list in his contract, is not expecting to be dealt out of DC. If he stays, the Washington Capitals are expected to resume contract extension talks with the veteran defenseman "at some point" well after the deadline."
"Carlson, a Capitals alternate captain since the 2019-20 campaign, has spent his entire 17-season career with the club after being selected in the first round of the 2008 NHL Draft. He has gone on to become the franchise's all-time leader among defensemen in games played (1,143), goals (166), assists (605), and points (771)."
"Carlson is currently playing in the final season of the eight-year, $64 million contract he signed with the Washington Capitals in 2018. The two-time NHL All-Star, currently sitting out due to a lower-body injury, has recorded 46 points (10g, 36a) through 55 games this year."
John Carlson, the Washington Capitals' alternate captain and franchise defenseman, is not anticipating a trade before the NHL deadline on Friday, despite receiving interest from other teams. Carlson holds a 10-team no-trade clause in his contract, giving him significant control over any potential move. The Capitals plan to resume contract extension discussions with Carlson after the deadline, assuming he remains with the organization. As the franchise's all-time leader in games played, goals, assists, and points among defensemen, Carlson has spent his entire 17-season career with Washington. He is currently in the final year of his eight-year, $64 million contract signed in 2018 and is temporarily sidelined with a lower-body injury.
