The Utah Mammoth have signed Michael Carcone to a one-year deal.
Carcone, 29, was a member of the organization last season, but during his end-of-season media availability, he spoke about wanting to look elsewhere for a new opportunity. However, he’s now agreed to re-sign and will look to play a depth role with the club.
Last season, in 53 games, he had seven goals and 12 assists for 19 points. His career high came back in 2023-24 with the Arizona Coyotes when he recorded 29 points in 74 games.
This signing comes as a bit of a shock to most in the Mammoth community, based on how vocal he was about the lack of playing time last season.
Carcone said: “I don't think we're going to agree on anything. I spoke to the coaching staff and management and I think we're gonna go in a different direction."
He also mentioned that getting more consistent playing time was important to him. Now, he’s entering a season where there are a handful of players battling for a few open spots in the lineup.
It’ll be interesting to see how things shake out on the roster, but with this signing, Utah secures another depth forward to help them push for a playoff spot.
