I suggested De Leo to my hometown team's GM and chairman a few months ago, and word is, that De Leo is very much Europe-bound unless he gets a full-time NHL contract - which is probably not going to happen.

Xenforo Cloud has scheduled an upgrade to XenForo version 2.2.16. This will take place on or shortly after the following date and time: Jul 05, 2024 at 05:00 PM (PT) There shouldn't be any downtime, as it's just a maintenance release. More info here

I think he did have a two-way contract with a very luxurious salary for the AHL standards (something around 450k or so), but alas, he did not have a full NHL contract.

I thought he had something like $750K guarantee didn't he?
Edit: Never mind it was a $450K guarantee. Capfriendly is still working to some degree.

Well Verbeek’s surname is Dutch like Sprong and even his former boss Yzerman signed Sprong before so maybe it'll happen.

My problem with Sprong is despite his recent production, teams don’t seem to want him back. It’s one and done.

Can't tell if you completely forgot that Verbeek stated he wanted d-men on their shooting side this season while throwing LaCombe up to the wolves as a top pairing RD. Maybe you did forget because we were terrible this year that you've decided to blackout this past season. We played both LaCombe and Zell at RD due to necessity (injuries and trades), but that doesn't mean Verbeek is willing to keep them at RD like Vegas has with Theodore. That's the context, ICYMI.
Remember, Verbeek was intent on finding a top-4RD this past summer. Do you know why? Which goes back to the context.
We don't know if Verbeek has changed his mind despite both LaCombe and Zell playing RD at times throughout the season. Since Verbeek didn't select any RD's in the draft and we didn't land a veteran RD so far this off-season, maybe he's changed his mind. Yet, since we acquired Dumo, everyone is stating one LD needs to move on and it's most likely LaCombe. Why are we complaining about being oversaturated at LD if Verbeek has stated Zell and LaCombe can be RD's for good?

So, watching the Hockey Guy, and the whole Trouba situation where he’s saying he won’t report to any team not on his no trade list.
NYR trade 1st + Trouba +, he refuses to report, Ducks terminate his contract, assuming his cap hit remains, we are over the floor. Boom.
(I am having fun with this, not being serious)

I don't want Trouba and I don't want Laine. But, if I have to take one or the other, I really don't want Trouba.
Gauthier - Carlsson - Terry
Killorn - Zegras - Tarasenko
Vatrano - McTavish - Strome
Harkins - Lundeström - Leason
McGinn - Johnston
1 year, $5 million and we’re comfortably above the cap floor.

Ha that would work assuming the NHL allows the trade to go thru. 1st round pick in 24 to 32 range at only the cost of a cap hit and not money being paid. Players union will scream hell over it though.

But bringing back his buddy might fend off Zegras trade rumors (since apparently trading away his buddy Drysdale means Z will want out)
Milano wouldn’t seem to fit under the umbrella of Verbeek’s preferences, I don’t see a fit there.
Oh, I thought you meant reuniting them in Washington!

I know what Verbeek said, but have learned not to believe everything an NHL GM says. I'm sure he would prefer the D on their natural sides, but circumstances got in the way of that. Posting something nonsensical in an effort to clown Verbeek didn't work.Can't tell if you completely forgot that Verbeek stated he wanted d-men on their shooting side this season while throwing LaCombe up to the wolves as a top pairing RD.
