According to the AHL transaction page Ty Wishart has been released from his SPC.

Link: http://theahl.com/stats/transactions.php

Is he heading for Europe or retiring or whatever?

Just curious...

He left Evansville (ECHL) to join the swedish club of Morra in the Allsvenskan.

In other news :
-Ben Walker has been released for his PTO with St. John's and signed to a SPC. Walker has one assist in seven games this season.

-Alexandre Carrier has been signed to a SPC by Albany. Carrier has been playing for the Peoria Rivermen in the SPHL where he had 4 points and 51 PIMs in 10 games.

A minor player movement...but a huge step for the SPHL

Big enforcer Alex Carrier became the first player in Peoria's SPHL history -- and perhaps the first in the league's history -- to jump directly from the SPHL to the class-AAA American Hockey League with a full contract.

Carrier was signed to a standard AHL deal by Albany -- whose NHL parent club is New Jersey -- and immediately assigned to ECHL Orlando.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound winger was more than an elite fighter, he was an excellent skater with skill that produced offense as well as intimidation.

"He'll really be missed here," Rivermen head coach Jean-Guy Trudel said. "But this is a tremendous day for our organization and for the league, sending a player directly to the AHL. It's a huge indication of how good Alex Carrier is, and how good the SPHL has become. We're proud of him."

It's not Carrier's first stint with the Albany Devils organisation. In 2012-2013, he spent the entire season with the Trenton Titans (ECHL) while under contract with Albany. He also attended Albany's camp this fall.

Gergo Nagy was assigned to Kalamazoo by Chicago which means that he is signed to an AHL contract.

Earlier this afternoon the Wolves reassigned forward Gergo Nagy to the K-Wings.

A seven-year pro, Nagy has earned two assists in six games this season with the Wolves. Playing a majority of his career in Europe, Nagy made his North American debut last season with the Central Hockey League’s Quad City Mallards. Nagy finished second on the Mallards in scoring, racking up 54 points (20 goals, 34 assists) and led the team in plus/minus at +18 in 64 regular season games.

Thank you CHRDANHUTCH for your help.

Before I wrote all of these names on the site, I searched for all of them and found a big part of the information you gave me. I was looking for more precise things like the ones you gave me for Huxley and Lefebvre. For many of the other players the informations are not up-to-date. Example: I know Colby Armstrong played in Sweeden in 2013-14 but is he now retired? You said Tim Thomas is retired, I've found nothing about his retirement. Where do you took your information? I know he is probably retired but I have not seen anything precise. Maybe you got something better than me. Andrew Albert suffers concussion and was supposed to retired, but I'm still looking for more preceise information.
Thank you for your help, it's really appreciated. Sorry if my English os not very good it's not my first language. And thank you for your help.

This happened because players coming from Europe to play in the AHL (during the ongoing season) have to go through waivers.

Before being released, O'Brien had scored 12 points (2 goals and 10 assists) in 22 games in the KHL.
