We have three better defensemen than Alberts in the AHL right now (Corrado, Weber, Huskins).
At least Alberts is better than Finn.

The mascot, or the Leafs' prospect?At least Alberts is better than Finn.
Booth with the Sedins again?
What, are BOTH nets empty all game? 5-4 vs Phoenix? not bloody likely.
@TEAM1040: Canucks @GMMikeGillis says Alex Edler is out indefinitely with a knee injury. Can't predict the timeframe for Edler's return
Has David Booth ever scored or assisted on a goal when playing with the Sedins? would be interested in seeing the stat line with those 3 together - it's an awful fit IMO.
How many times has he played with them though? Seriously I don't know
Corrado should be called up then, there's really no excuse not to.
I would prefer corrado but what side does he play?
Isn't alberts a left sided d man?
I guess he could play on his off side even if he is a right side defense-men but im not sure how much experience he has on that side.
LS: Garrison, Hamhuis & Stanton.
RS: Bieksa, Tanev, _________
If we have the option to get a better player than Alberts and play everyone on their best sides, why even bring Alberts into the discussion. If we lost another LS D, then play Alberts.
Hasn't garrison been playing the right side all season though.
I am assuming they are giving him a shot because hes sitting on the roster getting paid not doing anything.
Garrison is still a better on his LS as he's natural LS Dman IMHO, he's playing right because we have too many lefts and not enough rights. Alberts is OK as a one game filler but I don't want to see him in the lineup for extended periods at the expense of better players and better balance.

if we fall a couple points away from a playoff spot, ill especially be mad about this easy choice he didn't get right
I would rather see corrado get some games during edlers injury but i think were exaggerating here if were winning and loosing games based on the difference between alberts and carrado right now. If were loosing games i dont think it will be just because we used alberts, although if he screws up i hope hes on a short leash.
I disagree, games are typically pretty tight, and one goal is the difference between losing and winning most games. Its not like carrying an extra sub par forward.
In two games, he could easily be a big reason for a loss. And this isn't just one or two games edler is missing either
Atleast i know he will be played VERY few minutes, torts isn't a big fan of him. I'd be more worried if it was A.V since he liked to spread around the minutes a little more
