The 6&#8217;4&#8243;, 220-pound defender has 76 games across parts of three seasons, all with Ottawa. He posted just three assists, 14 hits and 12 blocks in 13 games in 2019-20. His only significant action has been 2018-19, when Jaros collected one goal and 10 points in 61 games while adding 110 hits and 82 blocks. He&#8217;s been a consistent bottom-pairing option when he has seen the ice, as evidenced by his career 13:32 of ice time. The Senators originally selected Jaros in the fifth round of the 2015 Draft.<\/p>\n<p>The Ducks acquired a seldom-used defender in the form of Carrick. The 6&#8217;2&#8243; Ontario native has no points in seven games across four seasons. He has been a fine contributor at the AHL level with almost 400 games, however. The former fourth-round selection from 2012 has 50 goals and 204 points while skating for AHL affiliates in Charlotte and San Jose. Carrick looks like another forechecking option for a Ducks blueline that is searching for additional depth in the event of further injury.<\/p>\n<p>Kopacka is a Ducks draftee from 2016 who has very modest AHL numbers.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Trade Means<\/h3>\n<p>This trade represents marginal improvements for each franchise. San Jose gets the player with the most experience to act as a bottom-pairing option for its blueline. There is a reasonable chance Jaros will contribute in 2020-21 only so San Jose can experiment a bit with pairings as it tries to rebuild for 2021-22. Anaheim and Ottawa both acquire average players to reinforce weak points in their organizations, but neither should be much of a factor moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"TwFdYDzUT7xntW54aoDTNQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1192017458\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'TwFdYDzUT7xntW54aoDTNQ',sig:'4ewX9WdEiRJx43fCkDkG-MUFbB8rgon0sHfsA-fQvKU=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1192017458',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The San Jose Sharks have acquired defenceman Christian Jaros via trade.
