He has to clear waivers so I’d guess tomorrow night.
After that he has to clear customs . One step at a time , one step at a time . Looks like Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus is making a comeback disguised as the the NYI hockey club . Bring on the clowns baby ….. Mitch Fritz seen skating in Syosset with Trevor Gillies and Konopka . At this point move Cizikas up and make this the fourth line . If nothing else our top guys will no longer get abused every night on the ice

Next wait till Lou tells him to lose the caterpillar

Big deal, you can pay like $100 bucks to some shady online marketing site for that.
For less you can ask some guy on YouTube/social media to harass people and claim he’s in the right 100% of the time

Fritz, Gillies, Konopka (for faceoffs only) and Justin Johnson will be playing Philly next week when Garnet Hathaway and company try to goon it up since big Russian hit player.
 
I love this pick up!!!!

Prediction!!!

TDA is going to make the Islanders great again!

This move will get the Islanders in the playoff race making the playoffs as a wild card team and then upsetting Washington in a first round TKO knockout!!!

More riveting than the Tyson /Paul boxing matchup!
 
Ken Holland did something with Nabokov some years ago and Islanders claimed him and it screwed the Red Wings as that was near the end of their run and needed a goalie.

I hope yzerman claims this guy just to screw Islanders. Retribution!

That would be odd, considering prior history.
 
It’s almost kind of amazing how TD ruined his own career. Not that he would be a superstar by any means without all of his on-ice and off-ice issues, but a player of his ability generally has a nice career and good money earning potential. Just goes to show you how assholes can hurt themselves

This will make the Isles vs Rangers games more fun...

I wouldn't mind a DeAngelo VS Miller fight!
I would. DeAngelo is definitely an agitator but I I don’t think he’s the best fighter. However, I think the isles need what he brings. They’re missing that element without Clutterbuck.
 
The below link corresponds to the January 11th game vs Dynamo in which he was benched for poor defensive play. Got into a yelling match with the coach when not put on the PP. He then stayed in the lockerroom for the 3rd period.
Basically he was all about accumulating points (big bonu$ potential), not winning.


51 intelligence officers formerly with security clearances are calling this Russian disinformation
 
I'm not saying he didn't deserve at least *some* of the negative attention he's garnered over his career but I think a lot of it was overblown.

Like, for example, his tiff with Georgiev. Georgiev is a massive headcase and he seems have gotten on the nerves of other teammates since, like Rantanen. TDA may not have been totally in the wrong there.

This is about his issues over the last 5 years or so, not the slurs in juniors.
He’s a right handed offensive defenseman, by far one of the most coveted positions in hockey. Look how many teams he’s played for. He’s 29 years and has been moved 7 times (if you count both seperate Canes stints. Drafted by Tampa though he only played for their AHL team before being traded.)


The NHL isn’t the NBA, teams and players will keep issues between them as much as possible.


There are people in Russia saying the “family” excuse is just that. The Rangers coach after he was traded, said they had prior issues with his attitude when they were making roster decisions (such as minutes and benching him). He said he had warned DeAngelo prior to the Georgiev thing, and that context is why he was sent. Torts wouldn’t explicitly say that, but that’s basically people’s impression of his time late in Philly.


He had rumored issues with Tampa’s AHL team before being sent to the coyotes. He’s been in trouble for giving refs shit in the NHL and in Juniors


I’m pretty sure I’m missing something still, but he seems to have attitude and or anger issues, or something along those lines. Awful defense has been looked past for other similarly skilled defensemen for years.



Personally I’m hoping he hasn’t learned anything and creates drama with Roy and or proves to not be a “Lou player”. Not because I hate him, but I’ve loved all the drama this year lol
