good pickup, will add a Top-4 AHL defenseman to the Comets, plus we can call him up if we get into injury troubles. Mind you, I'd call up Corrado amd Alberts before Stanton.
Zack Kassian's errant stick is quaking in its boots right now.Yep the Oilers claimed another goon. The canucks are intimidated! they will be shaking in their skates when Gazdic, McIntyre and Brown come over the boards for the Oilers. Oh wiat a minute, that's shaking with excitement at the chance to light the Oilers up for 45 seconds.

My bad, forgot about Weber and thought Corrado was a leftie.
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
Alberts will be on waivers before the day is out. As he should be. Horrible player.
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.
Will be an upgrade on Alberts almost by default.
@News1130Sports: Stanton says he's a defensive minded defenseman who takes care of his own end first and loves to block shots.

This is a move that gives the team "toughness" or whatever, but I have a hard time thinking that he's better than any of the seven defencemen the Canucks currently have on the roster. Stanton was undrafted after five seasons in Moose Jaw and doesn't boast noteworthy offensive numbers in Rockford.

Another useless piece by the continually declining Canucks Army:

What useful analysis by a guy who has never seen him play and whose extent of scouting is basically looking up some stats on BehindTheNet.
maybe it is time to just stop reading it.
Seriously though, how bad does this movie look?
I suspect Gillis is spending his Monday trying to get a late draft pick for Alberts, before they have to waive him later today.
