Thanks Bob. So basically another forward playing the wrong position. Those defensive numbers look ugly. I guess it also correlates with his -27 last season. 
 

Our need is strong PK and defence from our defenders. I’m less excited now

For someone as offensively talented as he is, imagine how bad the defending must be to bring his overall contribution all the way down to 7%.  Isn't even that useful on the PP anymore, but I have no idea what Carolina was thinking putting him on the PK.

I wonder if he would be more valuable coverted to a forward. His even strength offense is quite good. 

You're thinking about guys like Burns and Byfuglien, who parked their butts in front of the net and tipped everything known to man.  DeAngelo is way too small and he's never played anything other than D-man.  He's deadly on the point and that's it.

I’m confused Bettman blocked the trade at 50% retention to Carolina.. now Carolina prolly will and can blatantly cap circumvent by signing him to 850k instead of the 2.5mil.. how are the other teams 30gm ok with this

Bettman loves to change the rules. Especially for Southern US States.

No confusion. Just more Bettman favouritism for his pet teams. He would cry foul if the Canucks were on the receiving end of this. Book it.

Edmonton’s consolation prize for not getting Karlsson?

OMG that is so funny.
 Imagine him on a team with Kane. 
I bet they would be best friends.

Definitely not interested for Van. Thankfully we don't need more offensive dmen at this time and based on his advance stats he defensive game is quite weak. 

 

I'm sure he'll get 1-2 million for 1 year somewhere. Maybe Chicago or a contender will take a flyer on him. I wonder if Boston feels the culture there is strong enough to keep him in line.

That is the rule in the CBA to avoid cap circumvention. Good rule too. Not favouritism at all, just following the contract. 
This is just good GMing in Carolina.  They said no, rolling the dice that nobody else would want him and they could get him at a contract that is 100% buriable in the minors.

KHL is my bet.

But why was the original trade vetoed by the NHL?

[The Arrogant Worms]

I hope the Leafs sign him

[canuckwings]

He's best to go to a small market team where he gets the least attention as possible. Any of the Canadian teams would not be a good spot for him.

Because it had been under a year since the Hurricanes traded him to the Flyers and you can’t retain on a player that you traded for from the same team for a year. 
‘Rule to prevent cap circumvention.

This guy seems like a real down to earth go getter, seems like he’s well liked by everyone, lock him up 7 years. Blank cheque, give him an A.

Something tells me Tony DeAngelo wouldn’t want to be best friends with Evander Kane..

Would Kane bet on it though?

[BabychStache]

Oilers will grab him.

The guy is an ignorant, self interested douche that goes through teams like I change underwear. Stay FAR away.

You only change your gaunch once or twice a year?

Here's some tips Gent:

"I’m absolutely not racist at all. There was something I said back in junior; people don’t know what it is. I’m not going to go into it," he said. "But it was something I regretted. A friend of mine on my team, we had an argument, and we remained friends. The other stories that have come out are totally false, and I think that’s why teams in this league have known that."
 

for those of you calling him racist… I think judging a persons character from when they were a teenager and possibly didn’t know any better from the atmosphere they grew with, only way to let people grow is forgiving them for there faults and allowing them to prove they have become a better person and he’s done exactly that. I think the judgemental crowd that doesn’t allow one’s past to be forgiven is what’s wrong with society right now…. Anyways I’d welcome Tony D personally on a low cap low term deal if we are planning on moving out Myers

Because it was less than one year from the Canes shipping him out. The CBA forbids reacquiring players within a year at reduced salary via retention.
