At the start of the regular season the New Jersey Devils waived mammoth 23-year-old Swedish defenseman Alexander Urbom for the purposes of re-assignment. But the young defenseman didn't make it through waivers and never reported to Albany: instead he was claimed by the Washington Capitals.
On Tuesday the Capitals waived Urbom after the former third round pick appeared in 20 games for Washington this season. The former Devils defender, once again, didn't make it through waivers. Instead he was claimed by his former team.
What was once old is new again in Newark!
