Anson Carter is on the move again.
The Carolina Hurricanes have acquired the 32-year-old winger from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for a fifth round draft pick in 2008.
Carter has 10 goals and 17 assists in 53 games with the Blue Jackets this season. Carter scored a career-high 33 goals with the Vancouver Canucks last season. In 663 career games with the Blue Jackets, Canucks, Kings, Capitals, Rangers, Oilers and Bruins, Carter has totals of 201 goals and 219 assists.
''Anson is a veteran NHL player who has had some good goal-scoring years in his career,'' Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford said in a statement. ''He will help strengthen our forward corps at a much needed time.'' Carter signed a 1-year deal for $2.5 million with the Blue Jackets last summer and is slated to become a free agent again after this season.
This is the seventh time Carter has been traded, second only behind Mike Sillinger (traded 10 times) among active NHL players. He has also changed his address twice on his own accord, signing as a free agent with Vancouver and Columbus in the last two off-seasons
