Our favorite player movement of the 2012 offseason.
6th year undrafted fists of fury forward Micheal Haley(18) didn’t have to trade in his number when he to the drive up the street to join his new team.
After 5 straight seasons in New York Islanders‘ prospect system playing mostly for their affiliate Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL, the now veteran 26-year old calls Hartford home.
In the offseason the unrestricted free agent was signed to a 1-year 2-way deal with New York Rangers and is currently playing the same role and penalty killing for Connecticut Whale.
He had career highs in goals (15), assists tie (10), points (25) and even managed less penalty minutes, but not by much.
He’s the type of player we love to see out there. At only 5’11” 198 lbs. he’s all guts and glory.
The pic is post-first fight to bloody up the new uniform a bit with old teammate Blair Riley.
