I'm really losing it in my old age - I'd never heard of the guy until today and he's been an NHL/AHL pro for something like three years now.I know people always say this, but I could see someone putting in a claim for Capo....
No one claimed Kylington, or Honka, etc....I could see someone putting in a claim for Capo....

Capo may have less perceived upside than those 2 guys, but is also a touch more reliable steady. I could see why GMs passed on the offensively gifted but defensively suspect guys.No one claimed Kylington, or Honka, etc.

TBH I just listed 2 names that came to mind first, of young-ish not-yet-established D, but I agree w you guys' pointsCapo may have less perceived upside than those 2 guys, but is also a touch more reliable steady. I could see why GMs passed on the offensively gifted but defensively suspect guys.

I don’t think DeAngelo’s off ice distractions are worth it for any team.With Letang going down last night, PIT has 6 D injured.
They have only 1 D on taxi, and only 1 other D in North America under contract.
Was sort of anticipating a Capo claim. Wonder if the injury bug is worth TDA's off-ice distractions for them
DeAngelo's buyout is 33%. When injuries hit, he'd be a player a playoff-bound team would consider. Especially if the team shopping him was willing to off-set his cap hit for the year.I don’t think DeAngelo’s off ice distractions are worth it for any team.
Do you really want a guy that’s been dumped by 3 teams around your young guys?DeAngelo's buyout is 33%. When injuries hit, he'd be a player a playoff-bound team would consider. Especially if the team shopping him was willing to off-set his cap hit for the year.
A team like Ottawa would be silly to let him clear.
What do you think he's saying to them? He's an immature player. Use him for what you know he does well and don't expect him to be accountable for his mistakes. He's an asset, that's it.Do you really want a guy that’s been dumped by 3 teams around your young guys?
