Arrivederci Andrew Alberts
Yesterday, the Bruins traded defenseman Andrew Alberts to the Flyers for minor league forward Ned Lukacevic and a conditional 4th round pick in 2009 (a 3rd rounder if Alberts re-signs with Philly).
You always hate to see someone go, and especially a young prospect who never got to blossom. However it appears Alberts hasn’t fully recovered from the head & neck injuries caused by now-teammate Scott Hartnell and didn’t appear to be in the Bruins plans for this season. Therefore, off to the Flyers he goes, where he’ll have a better chance of cracking their injury-depleted defensive core.
Lukacevic doesn’t appear to be much of a prospect, but at least the B’s were able to free up 1.25 million dollars of cap space with this move.
