Anson Carter Talks Canucks, Money and Sedins

The 2005-06 season was a treat to watch with the Sedins and Anson Carter finding instant chemistry. Carter scored 33 goals and 55 points that year. When the season ended he wanted a 3-year $3 million contract. The Canucks offered him 2 years at $1.8 million. Carter thinks he was low-balled. That he'd be spending more time here.
Nope. Off to Columbus and Carolina he went where he did not enjoy the same success and then went to the Swiss League for a year.
He now lives in Atlanta and operates Big Up Entertainment, a hip hop record label that he founded.
Ed Willies has more from Carter in his Province article. I find the title very misleading.
You'll want to read what Carter says about playing with the Twins. I gotta say, I missed Carter for quite a while because the Canucks never really found a suitable replacement for him on that line until Burrows stepped up to the plate. Burrows is even more effective in all of the games than Carter was and settled for a multi-year $2 million deal. Bless your heart Burr.

Black guy fails in his endeavours
because he over-estimates his talent, starts own record label.
You guys don’t know how often this happens.

I wonder

The title was ridiculously misleading
I was all set to be “wow, Anson Carter still bitter?” and then it was not that at all.
Poor choice of headline, except from the perspective of inciting controversy to sell papers.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
willes and/or province fail
with that headline

I dont think Willis would get to write his own headlines

That he got 33 goals and 22 assists. I mean, that is freaky shit right there

Temujin can attest to the fact that I wanted Carter back for a few years there. I never shut up about it!

I liked the guy too
Oh well, we ended up with a better version.
Also, you can’t beat the nickname for that line

lol I dunno, the Mattress line is pretty catchy too. Jason King just kinda sucked.

A month of chemistry and a couple months of fail, then adios Jason
