"John Carlson brings leadership, character, a high hockey IQ and a presence to our lineup. We are very excited to add a Stanley Cup winner to complement our group and make a big push down the stretch."
"Carlson, who played an integral part of the Capitals' 2018 Stanley Cup win and is a former Norris Trophy runner-up for the NHL's top defenseman, should bring a veteran presence to a young Ducks team that is on pace to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017."
"In 1,143 career games over 17 seasons with Washington, Carlson recorded 771 points (166 goals, 605 assists) - ranking him 24th all-time among NHL defensemen. He also has 78 points in 137 playoff games."
The Anaheim Ducks traded a conditional first-round pick and a third-round pick to the Washington Capitals to acquire defenseman John Carlson. Carlson, a Stanley Cup winner and former Norris Trophy runner-up, brings veteran leadership and experience to the young Ducks roster. He recorded 10 goals and 46 points in 55 games for Washington this season, leading the team in ice time with over 23 minutes per game. Currently recovering from a lower-body injury sustained on February 5, Carlson's return timeline remains uncertain. He will join Jacob Trouba and Radko Gudas on the Ducks' right-side defense. Over 17 seasons with Washington, Carlson accumulated 771 career points across 1,143 games.
