Confirmed with Link: Reece Scarlett to FL for Shane Harper

[Bleedred]

28 year old vs 23 year old.

Ok 2 strikeouts and a pop up? Better?

Scarlett isn't an NHL player and never will be, so who really cares about him?

 

[devilsblood]

He's been in this organization for 3-4 years now. He's obviously not made progress to the point where he mattered.

His #'s at least very much plateaued.

 

[NJDevils17]

Scarlett is garbage. Just a horrid defenseman. This is purely an AHL depth move. Lou ignored Albany for years, Shero is trying to develop a culture. People have to understand not every single player/prospect is a huge loss.

 

[Cheddabombs]

If anyone complains about this move they're either delusional or have a much bigger interest in our AHL team than I can comprehend because that's all this move was. Neither are NHL players.

 

[HITMAN88]

Who is this Harper guy

Not a home run deal. His first name is not Bryce....

 

[I Hate Tie DOMI]

Not a home run deal. His first name is not Bryce....

 

[Wingman77]

No bearing at the NHL level for either team.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Not a home run deal. His first name is not Bryce....

 

[NJDevs26]

A 23 year old defenseman for a 28-year old minor league forward? Can this day get any worse?

So we decide who wins an AHL deal solely by who's younger? Scarlett was never in the team's plans here, it was AHL player for AHL player.

The graphic amuses me though, welcome to New Jersey? More like welcome to Albany

Haha

Nice!

 

[Brodeur]

Hah, Shane Harper is one of two guys from my hometown (suburb hour north of Los Angeles) who played in the NHL (Kevan Miller is the other).

 

[Devils Dominion]

Scarlett is ok, but he's too physically weak to ever crack the NHL as an everyday player.

 

[Zippy316]

Scarlett has Mozik ahead of the depth chart on him anyways.

This trade is irrelevant on the NHL level. Just purely getting another RW for Albany and maybe Harper gets a look at 4RW at some point.

The overreactions I've seen on this trade (not really here) are just hysterical. You would've though Scarlett was a defender with second-pairing potential.

 

[Emperoreddy]

People should be happy Shero has a vested interest in helping Albany have a deep playoff run.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Shero batting 0 for 3? Would you rather he held onto Parenteau and Quincey for our "playoff" run?

No

But we certainly could have used Reece Scarlett for our playoff run.

This year and in the future.

He's been a staple in Albany for back-to-back Calder Cup championships in my NHL 17 dynasty.

ah yes…i recall picking up "Martin Brochu" in one of the EA games series just to have him back up marty. for the comedy of it.

 

[MadDevil]

Now that I think about it, I think I have both Scarlett and Harper in Albany.

 

[Billdo]

I'd imagine Scarlett would've been more important to that than Harper. Scarlett lead the D in scoring.

Eh Auvitu's gonna be their top offensive d-man in the playoffs. And they probably will bring in one or two PTO's/prospects.

Were you able to acquire the rights to Urbom?

ah yes…i recall picking up "Martin Brochu" in one of the EA games series just to have him back up marty. for the comedy of it.

LOL @ Martin Brochu.

I only remember Martin Brochu actually existed, because when you go to hockey reference and type in Martin Brodeur, the only other player to come up in the database as you're typing Martin Bro is Martin Brochu.

I remembered when he played us once, laughing at his name almost being Martin Brodeur haha. And the fact that he was a goalie too.

Check out his career splits, 9 NHL games played and just one team that he had a save percentage of better than .897 against. Guess who?

The one game against us was just in relief though, in 03-04 and after Sebastien Caron was yanked for allowing 5 goals. This was also his last time on NHL ice in a game.

Harper's got some serious wheels.

Scored his first two NHL goals in this game earlier this year. His acceleration on the first one was impressive:

No, but I did sign Tedenby for Albany and he put up like 50 points.

He reminds me of Sislo. Another ''Older'' AHL veteran.

That's the only Tedenby ever hit 50 points in an actual hockey league, and it was in a make believe video game haha.

I supposed 32 points in 47 games last year, is close to 55 points in 80 AHL games. I'm pretty sure the AHL is a better league than the SEL though, so I don't think he would have scored that there. Currently has 28 points in 45 games this year. I think their regular season might be ending soon. That's 13 goals two years in a row! I can't believe he scored 13 goals in less than 50 goals. Every time he had a scoring chance here after his initial breakout as a rookie, he flung the puck at the glass on a on breakaway or missed the net or get muscled off the puck, because he was weak.
