Isles Claim Keith Aucoin Off Waivers

 

Arthur Staple said it.  "Also, I'd expect Isles to keep mining the waiver wire, perhaps for an extra forward. Only have 13 healthy now, including R. Strome."

They did it.  The Islanders claim C Keith Aucoin off waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs.  At age 34, Aucoin was 10 and 27 for 37 pts and a +7 rating for the AHL Marlies in 37 GP this season.  Aucion has compiled 233 and 581 for 814 pts and a +83 rating in his storied AHL career.  He has been named an All-Star 6 times, won back to back Calder Cups in '09 and '10 for Hershey and AHL's MVP in '09.  His career NHL numbers are 11 and 26 for 37 pts and a +7 rating.

 

 

 

 

Isles roster is now at 24 heading into cutdown day on Fri., with 2 injuries.
