Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I timata a Carter i tana mahi ngaio i te 1996-97, i wehewehe i tana wa ki nga Capitals me to raatau hononga ki te American Hockey League (AHL), ko te Portland Pirates, i mua i tana whakawhiti ki te Boston Bruins i te Poutu-te-rangi 1, 1997. Hei wāhanga o tētahi kirimana nui, ka tukuna a Carter ki a Jason Allison, Jim Carey, he kōwhiringa i roto i te
1998 draft and a third-round pick in the 1997 draft to the Bruins in exchange for Adam Oates, Bill Ranford and Rick Tocchet. I whakawhiwhia a ia ki te kapa Bruins i te tau 1998 me te kōwhiringa tuatoru o te tau 1997 ki te kapa Bruins i te tau 1997 hei utu mo a Adam Oates, Bill Ranford me Rick Tocchet.
