I guess it matters that nobody cared about Smith or Lettieri, plus Smith has a NTC.

I get he’s on the block and they want some amount of return for him, but his history and attitude and opinions/beliefs are pretty open. If they feel his social media presence is a problem and a key factor to why they’re letting him go, they should say that. I feel like they’re protecting DQ despite how bad he’s been. ADA has a right to be angry as do the other players who aren’t DQ’s pets. I’d be livid if I were him at how DQ scratched him for two games and I said as much when it happened.
I honesty felt positive about this organization from a long term perspective, but this season makes me really doubt any potential window in the near future. The culture is horrible. The leadership is non-existent. The coaching is abysmal. Talent is meaningless if it’s grossly misused, and that’s what’s happened here.
I think it's terrible that this type of stuff has to happen and then JG swoops in and acts like he's the hero. All the while, this is the environment that he's created.

We're CLEAN, we PROMISE!
I smell a stinky rat. This is ALL Quinn's fault. Not sure how much HIS bosses had to do with this if any (his benching), but seems to me they "goated him". It was to the detriment of the team that he got benched to begin with. Yes, he couldve handled it better, but dont blame him for being held more accountable than literally everyone else. He is/wqs the scapegoat and seems they wanted OUT of a big contract that "if indeed" they didnt want him......should have NEVER signed him to begin with. All the bullcrap that surrounds him IS his doing, but that should never have anything to do with his contract.
He IS an American and believes in what he believes. I support him for that, I AM A VETERAN and want nothing MORE than the best for OUR country. He has that RIGHT.
I had better NOT find out that our organization did him any more dirty than what is written already, true or false as it is.
This is MY stand, and maybe I will think MUCH LESS of the team that I have supported for 50+ years.
I'm hating on QUINN, and disliking Gorton & JD much more than I ever would have thought. This looks and smells like a bullying, and pretty sure TV and RADIO will jump on the anti-Tony D. Bandwagon.
Our Rangers just blew a really good and efficient PP. Congrats.

RIP King of Pop
You can say that it’s both DeAngelo’s fault and that he was specifically singled out. Both those things can be true. So I somewhat agree with you.
And I truly am thankful for your service, man. Didn’t know that about you.
Edit: @Larrybiv You’re more right than I first thought. DeAngelo...I don’t blame him as much, now that I know more info.

I agree with most of this.
There sure is a lack of true leadership from the top down. They also magnify that lack of leadership by failing to have found/named a captain for so long and with such a young team.
Inconsistent messages from the top is no wonder the team is playing like it is.
Embarrassing.

It’s hard to say he’s at fault when they are categorically denying everything besides he was mad that he was unjustifiably benched by a God awful coach who should have been left at the KeyBank Center. I guess we want our culture to be a bunch of mousy yes men, no wonder we lost the ability to actually win games with “leaders” like this.
At least there's no more DeAngelo for people to scapegoat anymore. It's time for Quinn to get the team's shit together or he can go packing with DeAngelo.
Knew this would happen eventually.
Good f***ing riddance. He was an embarrassment for the Rangers.
And to those of you who said that the Rangers didnt care about his antics. How is that crow tasting?

TDA has issues. He was warned any further incidents would get him on waivers. He started a physical altercation with Georgiev. He was put on waivers. This seems pretty cut snd dry. Haha.
I was pulling for TDA. Still am. If this isn’t a wake up call nothing will be. We can try to point the finger everywhere BUT Tony however it’s HIS behavior that is the root of this. He’s not a victim here. Hopefully he finds a place to land and makes the best of his likely very last shot at the NHL. TBL, ARC and now NYR have all had to move on from him all fully aware of his talent and potential.

lol, yeah ok. Strong position which you never mentioned until now yet you “knew” while he still received a contract just south of $10 million.
I first said that his time was upp after the twitter shenanigans a week ago. Guess I was right.

So Gorton was true to his word. He waived him and he cleared. The organization is taking a stand here...there must be more to it.

He’s committed too many faux pas — even before the NHL. He has a lousy attitude. Even if an apology were genuine at the moment, he’s forget all about it in a few weeks and so some other stupid thing. I don’t think he’s malicious; he’s just clueless.

I'm wondering what kind of long-term strategy went into the "if you mess up again, this will happen..." line of thinking. Seems short sighted and naturally puts the team in a situation where it "had" to make a decision.
What a F'd up situation. He has talent.
I guess no one won the Arizona trade.

I don't like this on any level. He was getting benched after one game? really?
did the rangers do enough due diligence on this guy? they should have gotten a good idea of his personality, and if they didn't
like him, why didn't they try and trade him after his 52p season?
Why sign him for 2 yrs and lose him for nothing? This is stupid all around.
I am with you on the bold, and thank you for your service.
As to the rest of it, even constitutional rights, which are extensive, are not unfettered, unlimited, and absolute. Example re free speech: you can't yell fire in a crowded theatre if there isn't actually a fire right then and there.
Can't discuss this further b'c I would have to name certain specifics and there is a severe crackdown about anything that is only close to certain political aspects.
Hopefully examination shows the dots connect themselves.
