Carkner is what he is - a sixth or seventh defenseman who adds little to nothing offensively (0 goals since 2011-12) and finds himself in the press box about half the time. His one value to fantasy owners is that he will end up in the penalty box at least once per game. This still doesn't justify drafting a player who is a one trick pony - there are better options available.
