In addition to being an over-ager he's also a big guy. It's correct to be cautious and not overly hype up this prospect, but it would be one helluva stroke of luck if this guy makes the NHL one day. He could slot in well on our bottom 2 lines and if he happened to have some scoring touch as well it'll be a total bonus.

If he had gone undrafted he'd have 30 NHL teams knocking down his door. If you look at all the high scoring undrafted overagers that never got signed, they have one thing in common: too small/slow for the NHL. Carroll's offensive production has seriously ramped up well above expectations. Like I said, with his size, speed and now production, there'd be a lineup of 30 gms with contracts in hand
