He is still an unknown quantity and not sure a lot of clubs want to play him above their own guys necessarily. And with a shortened season and every point that much more crucial, other clubs will go with what they know over what might be.
Injuries and illnesses can change all that very quickly though, granted.

Yes, I meant clear. I think he'd be a definite waiver claim in a normal year, let alone a year where teams will have 2 extra D roster spots.
