It was easy to see by the play of each player. Kostka was clearly better than Stanton in the pre-season.
Seriously though, how bad does this movie look?

Holy crap. Why in the world does anybody think Vancouver would waive Alberts? It ain't happening. It shouldn't happen.
This is insane.
"Good" post.
And I think we share the same definition of "good."
It may have something to do with the fact that he was the worst of their final 8 defensemen and made the team over Corrado, who deserved to be there.Holy crap. Why in the world does anybody think Vancouver would waive Alberts? It ain't happening. It shouldn't happen.

... because he's been the worst defenseman in camp... and in every pre-season game he played the pairing he was on tanked, hard.
vs SJ2: -3, 2 PIMs, 16 mins, 1 Hit
vs Edm: -1, 2 PIMs, 17 mins, 2 Hits
vs SJ1: -1, 11 PIMs, 14 mins, 4 Hits
Yeah I'm pretty sure I was Alberts' last supporter, but it's been a shocking performance this preseason. His play has really dropped off.
Hey I thought he was fine over the last 12 games or so last season... but I was quite shocked at how bad he was in the pre-season.
Have we been watching Stanton for a few years too?

Same here. If he were just bad or rusty, I wouldn't put much stock into it. He was flat out atrocious.
If we were going to pick up a scrub, couldn't we have at least gotten a RHD?

Nucks have 4 RH D-man: Tanev, Bieksa, Weber, Corrado.
That's also why we are speculating that Stanton could be an Alberts replacement.
Left Side: Edler, Hamhuis, Garrison, Alberts
Stanton has been a quality AHL player and on the fringes of making Chicago. Hopefully he does as well as Aaron Rome did here when claimed in a similar situation.

EDM claims Luke Gazdic from DAL.
Hopefully things work out for him. It's good that he's getting an opportunity to play in the NHL - he obviously wasn't going to get one in Chicago.
