Ghostsof1915 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I guess I was watching a different Alberts then you guys. All I remember is Alberts getting benched alot after directly causing more goals for the opposition then any other Canuck. I would be amazed if an NHL team picked him up.

Apples Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 His a solid 6/7th defenceman. I would love to resign him for like 600k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Great 6th/7th defenceman, worth around 1M. Considering we have 5M in space... Tanev for 2M Alberts for 1M Fistric/Murray for 2M Our top-4 play the bulk of games. Tanev and Fistric/Murray play 60 games Alberts and Corrado fill in the extra 20 games each, plus injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanucks25 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 lol @ people saying "who cares, move on". 6/7 D-men are important, especially for a team with a history of being plagued by injuries. Our D-men go down during the season, it happens, and we need solid NHLers to fill those spots when need be. Alberts definitely had a good year last season, thought he deserved more playing time. At this point, he's probably the best option for our #6 D-man (unless Corrado picks up where he left off last season and makes the team). If he's okay with staying for under 1 million, it'd be a great signing. Great 6th/7th defenceman, worth around 1M. Considering we have 5M in space... Tanev for 2M Alberts for 1M Fistric/Murray for 2M Our top-4 play the bulk of games.

Me_ Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I personally think Alberts would thrive under Torterella.i wouldn't mind seeing him as a 6D on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar baby watermelon Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'd rather take a chance on someone like Fistric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Also, AA seems durable. Sign him & Fistric-need size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BedBeats™2.0 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Read that the Canucks have talked with the Douglas Murray camp. Id rather they re-sign Albie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mecomaker54 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 They are still in negotiations with Alberts but they won't sign him until the Tanev negotiations are done because Gilman wants to know how much cap they'll have left to deal with our other problems. So until Tanev is signed don't expect Alberts to be signed either, Alberts isn't hard to replace he's a 6 or 7th d man, that is super cheap. But odds are he'll get signed for around 1.3 mil, anywhere around that area would be a safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Doctor Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 We would not have any cap issues if we had the opportunity to buy Booth out. That douche monkey has not even skated this summer so he will be on LTIR. Therefore we should start signing these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbyte Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Ok...so I wasn't the only one who was not impressed with his performance. To answer meh's question, what I want in a 6th/7th defenseman is to keep it simple, keep the puck out of the net, don't get turnovers, block some shots, and make a nice outlet pass. Making a nice outlet pass was the only part of AHLberts game that I thought was solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kesler's Nose Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'd rather have Murray at 2 mil, over Alberts at 1 mil... But that's just me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl's Jn Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Alberts doesn't appear on the roster anymore? He along with Lapierre were our best hitters last year and I thought it was Alberts best year as a Canuck? If we are going to be hard to play against and bigger, he will be a loss.
