According to Greg Harder it took Regina some convincing for them to acquire Cody Carlson.
Carlson was rumored to have asked for a trade, but he wanted to play closer to home.
The tigers were able to fetch a 3rd round 2010 bantam draft pick for him.
I think a fresh start will do Carlson good. Like I said earlier I thought he was battling confidence issues, and a good guy to try and take a gamble on.
He will make his mistakes but given the right situation he could develop into a key member for regina. He was expellable as the tigers had 9 guys at Defense who have all shown capabilities of being a whl regular.
Carlson was playing allot on the powerplay on their last road trip, maybe designed to increase his value. I think a 3rd rounder is excellent value for him.

The tigers now have an extra second rounder as well as an extra third rounder for the next bantam draft.
