Trevor Gillies and Brett Clouthier, who represented different eras of Albany River Rats enforcers, will have new AHL addresses this season.
Gillies, 30, attended the Rochester Americans training camp on a tryout, but could not agree to terms with the Western Conference team. Instead, he was signed to an AHL deal by the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on Monday.
The 6-foot-3, 235-pound Gillies spent the past two seasons with the Carolina Hurricanes-affiliated Rats, netting two points (1g, 1a) and picking up 237 penalty minutes in 81 games. He was limited to 30 games in 2008-09, and did not play after suffering a concussion in a pre-Christmas fight with Paul Bissonnette of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Clouthier (6-5, 225), 29, played 221 games for Albany, then a New Jersey Devils affiliate, from 2001-05, with 22 points (11g, 11a) and 619 PIM. After a year with the Binghamton Senators, he played from 2006-08 in England. Clouthier was signed by the AHL's Providence Bruins over the weekend.
