Gorton says DeAngelo "wasn't able to move on" from being healthy scratch for gms 2+3 of season after unsportsmanlike penalty. "I told him if his name came up in anything at all that he would be on waivers ...
"I felt like I had to stay true to my word, the organization's word."

President John Davidson said DeAngelo's social media comments were not a factor.

I’m reading between the lines here... but that is a veeeerrrrrrryyyyy short leash. Seemingly specific to that individual for other reasons.
“Couldn’t move on from being scratched”? So, he was mad? That was enough to throw $9mil away? Not to mention, we’ve seen fights between teammates lots of times before.
