I'd give del zotto a 1 yr deal for sure. Surprised he's not signed yet.
Same...couldn't hurt thats for sure
no thanks
Yes thanks.
I'd much rather give del zotto a chance to be the offensive defenseman this team has lacked since ehrhoff than weber or corrado. Blah
Undersized, soft, poor defensively. Was carried by his defensive partner for a couple years.Sounds like a few d-men we have already. he will fit right inDel Zotto sucks.
He's a case of the Cam Barker '40 point mirage' where a bad defender puts up 40 points because he was used on the #1 PP unit for an entire year and scored 20 points there ... and then everyone thinks he's great for the next 5 years.

What kind of toolset do you think Del Zotto has? Weak shot, slow defender, isn't physical, bad defensive. Seriously? Do people just look at his stats? I honestly, don't see a single asset the guy brings to any team.
He's 24 and not being brought in to shut down toews and Kane. He can sit on the PP all year and outscore all our other defensive defenseman.
On a 1 yr deal who cares, if he sucks waive him. He can't cost too much now that he's gone unsigned and Roy / ribero have signed for a mil.
Letang sucks at defense too, Rutherford doesn't care he wants him to put points on the board.
Letang can actually skate around people, blindfolded. Del Zotto is as slow as Tom Sestito.
You're gonna eat those words in the future. I highly doubt a 24 year old has regressed.and who cares? What do you mean who cares? You don't put crap on the team, just for the hell of it. What about guys like Sbisa and Corrado, who actually have toolsets to develop? Throw them aside, from a washed up 24 year old Del Zotto who has regressed since being in the nhl?

And who cares because he's better than corrado and sbisa combined as an offensive defenseman. And it's very low risk high reward. There's a greater chance del zotto puts up 30+ points than under 30.
Who knows what happens in Nashville. Maybe he doesn't like country music, maybe he hates mike fisher who cares. He's proven he can put up points in the NHL, and since nobody else on our D core is as offensive then give him a flyer.

Sounding more and more like Cam Barker.
Anyways, doesn't say good things about him if the defensemen factory in Nashville thinks he's a lost cause.
To be fair, I'd rather have Del Zotto than Sbisa, and Sbisa has had a similar career path to Del Zotto. At least Del Zotto would be cheap and crappy, as opposed to expensive and crappy.
ANY defender who plays a full season on a #1 PP unit will score 40 points.
If we played Ryan Stanton on the #1 PP unit all year, guess what? 40 points.
