It appears that Anson Carter's days as a Vancouver Canuck might be coming to an end.
The two sides are reportedly about a million dollars apart on a new deal.
"I think they have spent all their money," Carter's agent Pat Brisson told TSN.
Brisson said that he hopes to continue talks with the Canucks in the next day or two but is not holding out hope that the gap will be bridged.
Carter signed a one year, one million dollar deal prior to last season after an injury-plagued 2003-2004 season. He came back healthy and scored 33 goals playing on a line with the Sedin twins.
The Sedins each received sizable raises to 3.575 million dollars each over three years. Carter, who made 2.8 million in 03-04 was hoping for a similar raise, ideally getting back to that number over 3 years.
The Leafs and Kings are among the three or four teams seriously interested in Carter. Brisson told TSN that he hopes to have a deal in place by the end of the week.
