Just Googled him looks like he's been in the Chicago organization for a while. He He's fought Ben Eager and Zack Stortini in the AHL

 

[Hammer79]

Either Weber or Alberts must be going, unless they are carrying 8 D.

 

[dave babych returns]

6'2 205 lb leftie.

24 years old, undrafted.

Seems to be a stalwart guy at the AHL level, always near the top of the IceHogs in scoring (among defensemen) and penalty minutes for what it's worth.

1 career NHL GP

Given he's a lefty I guess the team thinks Andrew Alberts needs someone competing for his job..

 

[Wisp]

Good bye Andrew Alberts, I guess.

I just read 6'1" 190lbs.

I don't like owning our own affiliate, seems to be making NHL moves to improve the AHL so far, but I really don't have much of an opinion on this guy, but he's cheap.

Nothing wrong with a little competition on the left side for the number 6-8 spot. Certainly pleased to see an additional body come in and hopefully supplant good old Andy Alberts. This must put them over the 23 man roster allowance no?

 

[NoShowWilly]

here's to alberts clearing waivers

 

[Nuckles]

I'm scratching my head at this move, I hope Gillis knows what he's doing...

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Okay Gillis. Enough with the bargain binning.

 

[NuxFan09]

For whatever it's worth, I noticed a Chicago fan say in a thread on the main boards that Stanton should be on their roster. Says something about Stanton if Blackhawks fans think he belongs on a blueline as deep as theirs.

They can put Schroeder on IR.

Anyone know if Shinkaruk has been returned to Junior?

Likely means Shinkaruk is going back to junior.

 

[Tiranis]

Likely means Shinkaruk is going back to junior.

Torts doesn't like carrying 8D though so...

FWIW, the guy always stood out with the IceHogs.

 

[Kirk Mclean]

Please let this be the end of Alberts.

 

[Tim McCracken]

Okay Gillis. Enough with the bargain binning.

Maybe not, apparently he's scouting a beer league game at Grandview later this evening.

What a terrible GM.

Yeah I think it's hockeydb has him at 190 lbs, HockeysFuture has him at 205 and they still haven't even bothered updating their "future prediction" section to include a season after 2012-13..

NHL.com has him at 196 which I guess splits the difference.

Interesting, I wouldn't complain if Alberts was traded/waived.

Yeah but Torts was coaching Eastern Conference teams before. Less travel, closer to AHL affiliates. I could see them carrying 8D and sending Shinkaruk back to Junior.

 

[Wisp]

Stanton was a constantly **** disturber when I was watching the Wolves vs the Ice Hogs last season. Drove me nuts.

He can play and I can see him replacing Alberts.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Good bye Andrew Alberts, I guess.

I dunno. Might try to waive Stanton at a later date, when Schroeder gets back, just to keep him in the organization.

If Alberts gets waived, I hope they do it knowing that someone will pick him up. Free up a contract slot.

If you're picking up a guy off waivers, you're taking him for your NHL team. He was going to the AHL anyways.

This is more like Dale Weise, IMO.

"Good" post.

And I think we share the same definition of "good."
