This is not an attempt to revisit the trade, the fall, the gap between what we thought would play out back in 2007 and what actually did. Traded to Columbus on the same day for Jake Voracek and a draft pick that became Sean Couturier, Carter remains a star player at age 32. No, this is about how difficult is to predict the future of men still maturing, a happy story about what we thought we were getting in Wayne Simmonds that day and what he has become.
