Strengthening the AHL by selling defensive depth for goal scoring depth?

 

[NjDevsRR]

Who is this Harper guy

 

[devlzfan]

A 23 year old defenseman for a 28-year old minor league forward? Can this day get any worse?

 

[njdevil26]

I honestly don't get it. He's a 28 year old right wing AHLer. We don't need that. I mean I get it's not Shero's fault that the market is what it is today... low returns everywhere... but wow this is one of the worst trade deadlines in recent memory for this team. The Devils are not better than they were yesterday. The ONLY useful piece for the future is a sixth round pick.

Who is this Harper guy

28 years old. AHL guy mostly. Nothing of note.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Yuge move.

This move is all about Albany and the upcoming AHL playoffs. The Albany Devils had a surplus of defenseman and a lack of goal-scoring talent, and now they've evened out the team's depth.

Shero is batting 0 for 3 today. With 3 strikeouts

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Guessing this is for the AHL. Hope this helps the minor league team out.

 

[Bleedred]

Shero is batting 0 for 3 today. With 3 strikeouts

Not sure why this is a strike

Reece Scarlett is not an NHL player

He has about as much of an NHL future as Seth Helgeson does, probably even less with how much we love calling up Helgeson.

 

[JimEIV]

It means Lappin is coming up for the rest of the season to replace Parenteau and there would be a shortage at RW in Albany...Harper replaces Lappin.


Book it.

Oh give me a break. Reece Scarlett was AHL depth fodder, and now we've traded less useful AHL depth fodder for more useful AHL depth fodder.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Did Scarlett bust in Albany? was not following him

Shero is batting 0 for 3 today. With 3 strikeouts

Nah. Getting ANYTHING for Parenteau was a win. A loss would be him still on this team at all. A 6th is largely nothing, but its still something.

The Quincey trade we don't know the particulars of. If he was doing Quincey a favor by shipping him to a playoff team, then I see the merit. We weren't getting anything spectacular for him in the first place. At the very least Prout is ED exposable and can be jettisoned easily. This trade deadline was a bust for A LOT of teams.

This last deal as pointed out is simply AHL depth. Scarlett's been in this organization for years now. He was expendable.

It means Lappin is coming up for the rest of the season to replace Parenteau and there would be a shortage at RW in Albany...Harper replaces Lappin.


Book it.

That sounds likely.

RW depth for Albany.

With PAP gone, I guess Lappin gets the recall.

28 year old vs 23 year old.

Ok 2 strikeouts and a pop up? Better?

Book it.

I could see that.

I've never been high on Scarlett. No loss as far as I'm concerned if this guy can help the A-Devils make a playoff run.

 

[Classic Devil]

Did Scarlett bust in Albany? was not following him

No, he's been a capable AHL defenseman. But he's just not a NHL defenseman.

 

[ghdi]

Did Scarlett bust in Albany? was not following him

He's been in this organization for 3-4 years now. He's obviously not made progress to the point where he mattered.

 

[Triumph]

This move is all about Albany and the upcoming AHL playoffs. The Albany Devils had a surplus of defenseman and a lack of goal-scoring talent, and now they've evened out the team's depth.

Yep. They now have Loov, McWilliam, Stollery on the left side and Auvitu-Mozik-Jacobs on the right side (Auvitu is playing the right side in the AHL now, it appears). There's also Brandon Gormley.

 

[Bleedred]

Did Scarlett bust in Albany? was not following him

This is his 4th year as a pro and he's never gotten a call up during the regular season at any time in those 4 years.

It's clear we didn't have him in our plans at the NHL level and he's probably never gonna be in the NHL on a full time basis.

 

[devilsblood]

It means Lappin is coming up for the rest of the season to replace Parenteau and there would be a shortage at RW in Albany...Harper replaces Lappin.


Book it.

Jim running a step ahead of me today.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Whatever. This is probably the best move of the day for the Devils so far.
