From Spectors:

LACOUTURE STILL SHOPPING AROUND.

NATRICK BULLETINE & TAB: Douglas Flynn reports Natrick native Dan LaCouture has spoken with several clubs, including the Boston Bruins, Montreal Canadiens and his former club, the Pittsburgh Penguins and remains optimistic about landing a contract with a new club soon. One team he hasn't spoken with his another former team, the NY Rangers, as he was frustrated by his lack of playing time in the Big Apple.

Here is some of his stats:

Position: Left Wing
LaCouture Team: New York Rangers
Shoots: Left
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 220
Birth Date: 1977-04-18
Birth Country: United States, Natick
Year Drafted: 1996
Round Drafted: 2
Overall Choice: 29

Season Team GP G A P
2000-01 PIT, 11 0 0 0
2000-01 EDM, 37 2 4 6
2001-02 PIT, 82 6 11 17
2002-03 PIT, 44 2 2 4
2002-03 NYR, 24 1 4 5
2003-04 NYR, 59 5 2 7

Might look good on a 4th line with Ward and Begin.

Dan would fit the definition of a fourth liner, and would be cheap. Something to consider.

LaCouture couldnt even hold a roster spot on a near AHL calibre Pittsburgh team a few years ago which is why he was thrown into a deal to New York that was a pure cash drop. Then he can't hold a job with a poor Rangers squad either... I wouldn't have been opposed to signing him to a two way contract had we not already signed Ivanans, but I have real doubts about this guy being able to maintain an NHL job, I'd rather claim a goon in the waiver draft once hockey starts again, that worked out just fine last season.
