He only makes $650K.
I think he is overrated by a lot of people who just remember he was on the WJC team. He's been waived a couple times at least.

Thanks, I thought Washington was right up against the Cap - to the point they couldn't make the Hagelin deal. I was mistaken.

Actually I think he now makes $1M. He was signed for $650 and then extended.

Too bad the team didn't take a chance on DSP. Plays a heavy game and would be a perfect 12th-13th forward. If the team needs a heavier line in the playoffs, he could add that element.

Heavy is right. He's 223 pounds, but only 6 feet tall. That's thick.

It was reporting the Caps held him out for most of the pre-season for reporting out of shape and he had similar issues with the Canadians.

Not a great sign if 29 either teams didn't want him...
Per capfriendly, there are only 9 teams who don't have 23 guys on their roster right now, so I guess that's part of it...just not a helpful move so close to the deadline
Neal is not officially on LTIR yet? I suppose that would have been a spot, but I'm sure BT wants someone better for the pressbox forward down the stretch

DSP had a really good playoffs with the Capitals last year. But he has bounced around a few places. He is a guy with tools that teams like, but struggles to find any long term consistency with his play. I wouldn't be shocked if he didn't find his way back up by the playoffs.

Think this is the big thing.
Playoff teams probably don't want to pick up a waiver wire player 5 days before the trade deadline when they might be adding other players to their active roster then.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they were hoping he would get through.

Calling Devante Smith Pelly a "proven playoff performer" is like calling Alex Chiasson a first line winger. An absurdly high shooting percentage in a small sample is not a good reason to pick someone up.

Very similar game. Only difference is that DSP has a playoff resume.
Maybe Lazar could be a playoff hero if given the opportunity?

Not much better but definitely better.
But he's not good either. That said, I'm kind of surprised no one took him off waivers.

You know who else was a proven playoff performer?
Fernando Pisani.

He's better than Lazar in pretty much every way albeit not by a great amount. Not to say he's good (he isn't) but he is at least a bit better than Lazar.

Devante Smith-Pelly has not yet reported to Hershey. A team spokesperson for the Bears has said he is expected to join the team in the next few days.
