OFFICIAL: #NYR have acquired forward John Albert and defenseman Hubert Labrie from the Washington Capitals in exchange for Adam Chapie and Joe Whitney.

 

[Morten]

Damn I was expecting something bigger when I saw NYR in the title

 

[robsenz]

should have waited until the deadline for this blockbuster.

 

[rent free]

the most anonymous trade in nhl history

 

[Jumptheshark]

complete ahl trade

has any of these guys played in the nhl in the last 2 years?

 

[Rheged]

Rangers like those former IceCaps!

 

[rent free]

maybe the stepping stone for a bigger deal?

 

[elitepete]

4 players and I haven’t heard of a single one of them.

Just trying to establish good relatinoship for a biggggger trade?

 

[caley]

Despite being included in the trade announcement, neither Labrie nor Whitney are on AHL deals. So it's basically an NHL trade of Albert for Chapie, and an AHL trade of Whitney for Labrie.

of course

They didn't want Zuccarello and McDonagh for Ovechkin to overshadow it.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

If I had a gun to my head and the only way I could survive is picking any one of these guys out of a lineup, I would be a very dead man.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Rangers is a pretty cool guy. Eh trades minor leaguers and doesnt afraid of rebuilding.

 

[AvatarAang]

I feel like the money used to process this transaction will have more impact than any of the players involved.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

So this is what the letter was talking about.

There will be riots in the streets after losing so many fan favorites

Good thing they braced everyone

 

[eternalbedhead]

Finally, some big trades!

 

[CodeE]

Hubert Labrie sounds like the villain in a bad sci fi movie

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

RAY WHITNEY?!?!?

 

[hockeykicker]

probably a silly question but these were two separate deals. am i missing something as to why it had to be whitney for labrie and then chapie for albert?

 

[TGWL]

I can't believe we just traded a guy with 100% shooting percentage.

 

[LastWordArmy]

The award for most useless trade in nhl history goes to....

 

[MarkMessyay11]

This do anything for the Rangers contract situation? Just guessing at why Gorton picks up the phone and makes a deal like this right now
