Del Zotto doesn't get defensive when it comes to offense
When Michael Del Zotto started playing hockey as a 5-year-old in Stouffville, Ontario, he was a forward. “Well, when you’re growing up and you’re 5 or 6 years old, there aren’t many kids who take pride in blocking shots,” Del Zotto said with a chuckle Friday in Greenburgh. “I think I learned to develop a goal-scoring touch, but my dad switched me to defense because passing...

Michael Del Zotto Deserves Credit
I know, not something you expected to hear from me in a million years.
But with the way 21-year-old defenseman Michael Del Zotto has recently been playing, he's made it impossible not to recognize his tremendous efforts out on the ice every night. And when I say every night, I literally mean "every night". Del Zotto has registered points in four of his last five...

Has Michael Del Zotto Been Overhyped?
I'll start by saying that 21-year-old defenseman Michael Del Zotto has neither been as good as his rookie season nor as bad as his sophomore season so far this year. He's been somewhere in the middle through 17 games, and due to inconsistency from night to night, has also been very difficult to judge. At times he's been serviceable and has shown signs of regaining his confidence...

Del Zotto Showing Last Year Was a Blip In His Development

Tom Poti tried and failed, Michal Rozsival tried and failed, and countless others tried and failed...

the 2009-10 season recording nine goals and 28 assists as a 19-year-old. With that display the expectations for the New

Del Zotto’s Waiver Status A Concern
As I touched on yesterday, Michael Del Zotto only has 33 NHL games left before he is no longer exempt from waivers. For those who are not as well-versed on waivers as I, what that means is that after Del Zotto plays his 33rd NHL game, he can no longer be sent to the AHL –other than for conditioning assignments– without being subject to waivers. To make matters worse...
