Carter, who is a Black Canadian, was drafted by the Quebec Nordiques in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft, 10th round, 220th overall, after starring at Michigan State University. He has previously played for the Washington Capitals, Boston Bruins, Edmonton Oilers, New York Rangers, and Los Angeles Kings. He spent several years as one of the Oilers' top players, before being traded to New York, along with Ales Pisa, in 2003 for Radek Dvorak and Cory Cross. This was only the first of several moves for Carter as the next year he was sent to Washington as part of the Jaromir Jagr deal. When at the end of the season Washington traded away almost all its most expensive players Carter was sent to Los Angeles. During this turbulent period Carter failed to meet expectations and had far less impact than he had had in Edmonton. On August 16, 2005 He signed with the Vancouver Canucks for the 2005-06 Season for a 1-year deal worth $1 million.
