Why the hell not put in a claim? This would help out the PP enormously ...

I don't think Stevie likes him.
He's a righthanded offensive D with some defensive issues.
I think I'd pick him up. Maybe just to trade him.
But I don't think Stevie does.

rags already tried trading him. failed.
Agreed 100%. We're not in the position to deny On Ice Talent, regardless of some off ice issue(s), those can be overcome.Yeah, I didn't realize he made that much. I know the attitude issues are there and the maturity issues are there as well, but his PP skills alone are what entice me. Our powerplay is pathetic and there is no denying his vision and PP abilities. His number last season were insane. 53 PTS in 68 games, and a +12.
Agreed 100% about "carving out value". We're not in the position to deny On Ice Talent, regardless of some off ice issue(s), those can be overcome. If he's as bad as Avery, SY will straighten him out or failing that will trade him for a net positive 2nd/3rd maybe? Win-win for us.I like the fact that SY knows his character and therefore have the ability to assess the guy properly. From what I’ve read, DeAngelo seems like some kind of Sean Avery type of person, but with higher upside. If SY believe that there is potential to carve out some value, he’ll claim him for sure.

I'd say a huge difference is that Yzerman traded Deangelo specifically because he didn't like his character. The kid had 43 points in 69 AHL games when he was 20 and got shipped away for a 2nd round pick.Yeah... guy could be Donald Trump idiot fan and done stupid thing on Twitter... but man...
...he is exactly what we need. Young, PP specialist, great puckmover and could be that 3rd righty to have perfect pairs.
Yzerman has traded him once, but so he did with Namestnikov.
It's an asset offered for free just like Namestnikov. It has only positive value added.
Contract isn't multi-year either if he becomes a problem and need toget rid of him.
There's no risk. At all.
