Good description of his career to date. The only question is whether Darryl is the one person who can push the right buttons to turn him from a potential superstar into the real thing. And this club maybe more than any other has a potential spot for him in the lineup that would allow him the opportunity to become that superstar if Sutter can get him motivated.
He's definitely a buy low reclamation project at this time. I would take a flyer on him, but would not be prepared to give up multiple high-end assets to acquire him.
