August 2024 – Capone became an unrestricted free agent after not being offered a contract by the Tampa Bay Lightning on August 15, 2024, the NHL exclusive signing rights deadline. Mark Henry

May 2023 – Capone’s low NCAA scoring is not out of line when compared to his USHL and USHS point totals in the past, but the other aspects of his game which made him valuable to a team have not progressed. As he enters his Senior season at the University of Connecticut, Capone will have one last chance to prove his worthiness of either an NHL or AHL contract to Tampa Bay’s front office. Wade Messier

November 2020 – Capone was drafted by the Lightning in the sixth round in the 2020 NHL Draft. He is currently playing for the University of Connecticut of the NCAA. Clare McManus
