Any NHL player COULD get a job in Europe, it's just a matter of whether it's worth the trouble. If Dale Weise can clean up the Dutch league and Bissonette can get two points in his first British league game, Little Gio could play. But it may not be worth the meager pay and travel to him.
Yeah you're right. I guess he could find a job somewhere. There are many different leagues over there. Probably one of the smaller leagues though. He'd probably suck with Albany anyway since that team has been allergic to scoring so far!

So if Peters can't play in Europe, then neither can Boulton right? I don't care what anyone says Boulton made Peters look like an NHL player! At least last year. I know Boulton was a serviceable player for many years.
Josefson and Larsson look great. Tedenby is still struggling a bit, and has been out the last couple games because he is ill. Urbom is injured right now.

Yeah well.. considering they have 8 points in 10 games and are last in their conference I'd say the team struggles no?
Right now there's a lack of goal scoring in Albany and special teams, by all accounts, have been brutal. But so far Frazee and Kinkaid have both had some pretty standout games. Larsson and Josefson look to be a league ahead of everyone and Henrique's been cruising and half-speed and STILL looks good most of the time. Losing Urbom and Gelinas for a stretch certainly didn't help.

It's still early on, and right now, everyone is pretty much either .500 or two or three games above it. They will go on a run and get right back into the mix.
I meant as in you watch it and they win, so watch more games so they can win.
Hah okay, sorry about that

I was merely trying to be objective! I'm not particularly worried about Albany. A lot of AHL teams have a veteran core that help maintain an identity despite a revolving cast of rookies and prospects going in and out. Albany has Jay Leach.
Albany in general, and subsequently Kowalsky, is in place to teach kids, not to win games. With a whole bunch of noobs learning a new (probably worse) system trying to mesh with younger AHL lifers that already know the system (thereby playing worse hockey overall), it's going to take a long time to gel. I guess technically I'm worried about Albany in the sense that I doubt they're gonna have a very successful season, but I'm not worried about prospects playing down there. Albany's proven it's a good environment for kids learning the pro game.
