Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXXVII - Holding a Lead for Dummies (Info in OP)

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Just have to hope that this kid takes this as a wake up call and not as confirmation that he is part of a persecuted class. This is likely a defining moment in this young man’s life and I hope he lands on his feet.

Doubtful.

Weeks from now when hes sitting at home on his Parler account watching games on TV and not on the Taxi squad or even being allowed near the Hatford roster maybe hell realized he f***ed up. Maybe

 

[Sayba]

Crazy take that a player in their prime is better than someone with *checks notes* 70 NHL games under his belt.

I was reminding him that Ryan McDonagh was on this team and was a really good player. I was saying wait remember him before saying Fox is the best since Leetch. I'm not knocking Fox at all.

Put him in tonight, Quinn, you coward

While we could retain and likely be able to move him, I see no point in doing so when the buyout is so cheap. This kid is going to sit at home not playing for a year. Will we loan him to a team in Europe? Worse for him if he doesn’t play all year and then is bought out and tries to get a new gig after another 10 month layoff. Oh well.

Agreed, not worth eating 50% next year to get like a 6th round draft pick when the buyout is so cheap.

I am a right leaning libertarian, and although I have nothing really in common with Tony’s beliefs, I know plenty of young men who are pretty close, particularly some of the younger guys I led in the military, who are really into the online theories and MAGA hype. As much as I would like to think Tony can grow from this, I actually do believe it will galvanize him as believing that anyone with a right leaning perspective is a victim and that they’re being cancelled and silenced. Unfortunate. I manage to get along in every single environment without my political leanings or musings ever having an impact; in fact I’d wager 80% of people who know me would say “I don’t know what his political views are”. DeAngelo is a world class skill who will allow his young, misguided understanding of socio-political interaction to ruin his career.

I can't see the team eating money just to get rid of him. If they do, I think it'll be because they're getting a player or pieces they see value in. If that market doesn't exist then Tony is likely podcasting from his living room until the first buyout window.

 

[charliemurphy]

Not yet, hence the to this point I'd say McDonagh is ahead of him. That's not knock on Fox, in the last 20 years that there is maybe 1 player ahead of you...

Not yet... got it.

exactly the basis for that belief system is to feel aggrieved. If anything he just got his wings

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

So whats happens now that he cleared?

[Don Chytil]

When DeAngelo was scratched I said that some things are more important than hockey. That his attitude towards race, politics, and his behavior in the locker room were more important than his ability to contribute on the ice. The responses here were not kind, to say the least. It sure seems like all 31 GMs would agree with me, though.

 

[GAGLine]

Now we will see if anyone wants him at half price

I'd rather not have him on the cap @ 2.4 mil next year. Just send him home, move his contract to the AHL, and buy him out in the summer. Nothing we get back for him is going to be worth anything.

 

[Trxjw]

So whats happens now that he cleared?

He's tossed off the roof of MSG by Antifa.

Where do I sign up to volunteer for the Tony DeAngelo for 2021 Seattle Expansion Draft Defenseman Campaign?

 

[broadwayblue]

What was the reason they didn't just release him unconditionally?

 

[Overcast]

Could they be in talks with ADA's agent to discuss having ADA not report to Hartford so they can terminate the contract? Or is that considered collusion?

Woohoo! 31 GMs agree with you! They don't by the way. Once this cools off and he's available as a cheap free agent, GMs will call him for his services regardless of his politics.

*Narrators Voice * "He would not"

 

[Shesterkybomb]

They are probably telling him, we can't find a trade for him, nobody wants him off waivers, if you can find a spot for him let us know.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Ah gotcha. Forgot waivers were necessary before that next logical step.

 

[broadwayblue]

And why would they want to commence their franchise with a locker room cancer?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

We can buy him out for 1/3, i cant see a trade happening so we're likely going that route

 

[Filthy Dangles]

What was the reason they didn't just release him unconditionally?

Because they aren't buying him out or terminating his contract (yet).

DeAngelo isn't going to agree to terminate his own contract.

 

[17futurecap]

The player has to agree to that, that wipes out your contract, usually it’s guys going home to play in Europe
