Carlson Likes What He’s Found With Ducks After Deadline

John Carlson is sounding pretty comfortable with life after the deadline, and that alone tells you the fit has started to settle in. When a veteran like Carlson starts talking glowingly about a new locker room, it usually means the details off the ice are lining up with the results on it. The Ducks have given him a fresh setup, and he appears to be leaning into the change rather than waiting for it to sort itself out. For a player with that much mileage, the tone matters as much as the minutes.
