It's only a number, but age is preventing Connor Carrick from spending his summer the way he'd like.
The Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman took to Twitter to bemoan the age restrictions for Pavel Datsyuk's skill development camp - which just so happened to have a guest instructor in Carrick's former teammate Evgeny Kuznetsov.

Carrick will have to settle for instruction from a different Detroit Red Wings former great in Mike Babcock.
