Campbell left bigger money on the table elsewhere to rejoin the Blackhawks.
The 24-year-old Carrick spent most of last season with the AHL Toronto Marlies.
A puck-moving defenseman, Campbell had 31 points while playing in all 82 games last season.
Chicago retained two of its own players a day before free agency begins.
Chicago has its sights set on improving its blue line depth.
With their first pick, the Blackhawks selected forward Alexander DeBrincat.
Shopping Teuvo Teravainen to keep Andrew Shaw seemed reasonable, but cutting both loose is questionable.
The Blackhawks moved Andrew Shaw and acquired a pair of second-round picks.
Shaw had 34 points (14 goals, 20 assists) in 78 games in 2015-'16.
The Blackhawks cleared cap room that would allow them to maneuver for Shaw.
