Off all the scrubs and no talent dusters this team has on the books, Hogberg is the one they decide to cut bait and run from?
This organization is a joke.

This should have been pretty obvious to anybody with two brain cells to rub together. DeAngelo started last season as a third pairing/power play specialist. He only got promoted to the top pair Bear got covid and was stuck in a hotel room for two weeks.
And he only went to the top pair instead of the second because Skjei-Pesce have good chemistry and the Canes had the luxury of playing him next to Jaccob Slavin who is more than capable of erasing his f***ups. Also Skjei-DeAngelo would have been a bit too ‘Jesus take the wheel’ for Brindy.

Even if they only watched the Carolina games against Philly and no other video, it should have been obvious.

This team has spent a decade obsessing over defense while having zero idea how defense works. It's really something else.
Good thing almost everyone responsible is still firmly employed!

Surprised how much work he needs? So they didn't even scout him beforehand?

TDA was worth a gamble, he just wasn't worth a 2nd, 3rd and 2yr/$10M gamble.
He's kept his nose clean, his offensive talent is indisputable, he's feisty, but after 50 games if you can't pick up fundamentals and at least play passable defense, well . . .

I’m wondering, with the rumors floating around this week, if Puljujarvi stays behind when the Oilers leave town?

TDA needs work defensively. LOL.
He is what he is. All offense, no defense. He can’t be fixed. This organization continues to be clueless.

Still not as bad as ghost
I don't have to use analytics to determine he is piss poor defensively , the eye test is obvious . I have been complaining for weeks on here about his defensive play even when Tort's was bragging him up . He gets benched and he cleans it up a bit for a game or so and then he reverts back to the same crap .
It's not new on here just cause Tort's finally mentions it and suddenly our brain dead media jump all over it so they can get clicks and likes .

The first month when all the yahoos raved about how underrated his defense was......that was a helluva time.
Remember: Fletcher, in his post-trade presser, said DeAngelo was a top pair defender. The man who only ever talks about defense, jettisoning a vastly superior Ghost in the process, acquired the worst defensive player in the league. Might want to sit down for this: he doesn't know what the f*** he's doing.

Yeah , me either. Just showing what the impacts were from model to model.
The discussion about his shitty defense goes all the way back to when he was acquired, before his first game!

Adding TDA and Risto is his idea of improving the team. Not offensively, DEFENSIVELY.
I truly can’t even imagine what is going on in that head of his. It’s not even just classic dinosaur thinking, it’s something far more confusing.

You didn't even need to watch the games. You could have paid Corey Sznajder less than the cost of a lunch and thought, "What the hell is this dot out by itself? Why does Slavin retrieve almost every puck?"

Yeah, for most things the analytics arent needed to bring you to a conclusion. They just help show you the magnitude - good or bad - of what your eyes are seeing.
We can easily see TDA is a disaster defensively. What we might not see is he’s literally the biggest disaster in the league.

Once again: internet message board nerds could see the disaster that was TDA from a mile away, but this team's management and pro scouts couldn't.
