Interesting - the Caps just signed a 20-year-old non drafted player, Zac Funk, who is the leading scorer in the WHL this season - 59 goals, and his vitals are listed at 6'0", 210 lbs, so he's NHL size already. It's like getting an extra draft pick. He wasn't even on the radar in his draft year two years ago. Maybe he has a fatal flaw, like skating ability? Or maybe he's just a late bloomer? What the heck, he goes to Hershey next season, and we'll see what happens.

Be nice if he lit them kids up! Might temp someone into taking a chance on that contract!

Yeah...bad timing with his latest goof. Couple weeks earlier and he might have made enough show to get a free ticket elsewhere. I think at this point teams will just pass on him.
But then, there's desperate teams out there...one could probably talk Caps into retaining half his contract.
Mickstix:
I agree. That "player assistance program" is a stigma, regardless what anyone says. If he was young and productive he'd get more chances, but being on a 3 in 4 years decline someone will need to be VERY desperate to take on that contract. I think he's either bought out or agrees to terminate. Still be cool if he lights it up in Hershey. They said he looked good for his first practice.
