Could very much see this team having a good start to the season, Buffalo having another mediocre start, and DeAngelo being part of a package for Jack Eichel at the deadline.
The Rangers have defenseman coming on both sides. Reunanen, Miller, Hajek, Robertson, Lundkvist, Schneider.
I like Tony he produces, but with the offensive talent this team has, his numbers will get a boost and he will want even more during his next contract and I just dont think we can afford that with how much he lacks on defense. Fox will need a new contract in 2 years, and even if we bridge him, there will still be a significant pay raise if he stays on track, which is providing good offense and very solid defense. And I’d rather pay Fox the money and cash in on DeAngelo raising his value playing with the talent we have here to acquire another C.
