Carle is much more expensive, signed for longer and is performing worse than any of the guys you mentioned here. Yzerman will need the cap space to sign Hedman, the triplets, Bishop, possibly Stamkos and others while Carle's contract is on the books. It would be a bold, risky move for BT even if he pulled it off, but it would really help Yzerman, especially if he likes Poirier.
