Either of those guys have a chance at ever sniffing NHL ice?

I see now why we got the letter yesterday. They will be missed.

No. Two AHL forwards for one AHL forward and an AHL defenseman. All vets. Even trade.

Hey, practice makes perfect!

 

[nyr2k2]

Hartford lost 2 D in Pionk and Gilmour. They get Smith. Now they get Labrie who is probably better right now than Zborovskiy.

Albert for Whitey is a wash.

Good AHL trade.

Now I see what they meant by familiar faces, and guys you've come to respect.

Sam: John Albert. No relation to our radio guy Kenny Albert. Or his father, Marv Albert.

Whitney and Labrie arent even on NHL contracts as far as I can tell.

Chapie was set to be an RFA, Albert a UFA.

we must have done it for the extra D-man for HWP
Albert may be even worse than Chapie as a F 'prospect' he is already 29

Whitney and LaBrie are on AHL contracts
Whitney was a top ice-time F for HWP

What about Fat Albert?????

Maybe we can put him in goal????

 

[Mac n Gs]

Isn’t Whitney the HWP captain? Then again, Bodie was their captain and he got shipped off for Catenacci

I like this idea.

Prince Albert is clearly the heir to Hank's throne.

They thought about trading for Herb Alpert, but that would have required Tijuana Brass balls.

Chapie was a waste of contract spot so this is a good deal haha

IDK, Albert has had seasons comparable to Whitney. And while 11 points in 33 games isn't great, Whitney only had 19 on the year.

You're right, it's about the defensive help.

this post from the Trades page explains the why of the deal

Rangers like those former IceCaps!

Albert had good years for Keith McC in Jets' farm
