Waived: [VAN] F Phil Di Giuseppe waived by the Canucks (cleared)

[Coffee]

He had some moments in the playoffs last year IIRC

He’s a decent 4th line plug, who can step it up time to time

Duclair is sick and Roy doesn’t like Engvall, I could see NYI taking a flyer on him.

Are you guys going to sign a winger during off season?

Most likely, they don’t really have anyone ready to graduate in Bridgeport.

 

[Cloudedthought]

He is a decent plug nothing more than that.

 

[Lenny Levino]

Mamma mia!!!!

It's all right we've got another Italian on the team now (Mancini).

 

[David Bruce Banner]

He's fine, but eminently replaceable.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

What are the Canucks doing? They could've gotten decent value for him.

I predict he gets claimed by San Jose. He's got some excellent depth.

Getting a 7th isn't worth the chance he clears and can be recalled later

 

[Siludin]

I think they just want him to be able to slide up and down.

 

[crowi]

It's VAN and WSH, what the hell is Friedman going on about here

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

tocchet’s going to be crestfallen they waived his son again

 

[CraigBillington]

Has anyone thought to wonder how Dan Riccio is feeling after this?

 

[Nucker42]

Good skater, can fill a void. Not a long term fix. They should have kept Podz.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Odd waive, not sure he gets claimed, but he probably should

That’s what she said

 

[Grub]

Waived multiple times and never claimed once. Run of the mill plug who has been quite useless but for whatever reason Tochett loves him.

So if you have a dinosaur coach who has love affairs with plugs be damn warned. Don’t claim him, your dinosaur will fall in love and play him over your better players.

No he shouldn’t this guy is trash, I can tell you that for free.

He emanates replaceability.

...isn't he a half-decent Bottom Six plug??...always thought he was OK...

He's plenty okay as a bottom-6 filler. He plays hard, he's defensively responsible, he's got enough awareness on the ice to stay out of the way of more skilled players for the most part, and enough puck skills to keep the play moving.

But the "upside" there has basically been explored at this point, and found to be approximately "null". He's a great guy to have as that proverbial "14th Forward" though, within an organization. Guy you can call up and plug in pretty much anywhere and not worry about it. Won't do anything for you, but won't really hurt you either. Can kill penalties too. Seems to have really matured into understanding that's his "role" too, so he's not going to rock the boat, even if he has to sit out games.

Kiefer Sherwood is probably returning from injury, so it's to make room for that.

 

[Nakawick]

That dude skips going to the minors to make frozen pizzas.

 

[heretik27]

I guess with DeBrusk there he fills their mandatory one Canadian in the lineup quota and they don't need PDG anymore.

He would be an upgrade on the 4th line of like 25 teams in the NHL.
