I’m with you on the second paragraph. I strongly disagree with his views but I don’t go on his Twitter and care more about how his teammates view him (and how he plays, of course).
I haven’t seen a whole lot to suggest he’s a particularly intelligent guy though. On the contrary, actually. Being knowledgeable about sports is hardly an indicator.
His partner in crime, Lemieux, seems like a bit of an airhead as well, and his play on the ice reflects that most nights. Again though, if his teammates love him that’s most important. They seem to!

Good point about popularity with this teammates that I should have made. Another attribute I should have attached to TDA, and an important one I think.
Also regarding Lemiuex being an airhead - don't necessarily judge a book by its cover. I suggest you listen to the WYT podcast with Lemiuex. I came away with a totally different impression of him than my preconceived notion. Give it a try - you might be surprised.

RIP, Jimmy.
This thread is staying closed until training camp starts (whenever that may be). Don't start a new one. Don't take this discussion elsewhere on the Rangers board. If you do, expect a lengthy forum ban. There will be zero tolerance.
Seems like he is back in tonight. Maybe I am crazy, but if the year is rocky with him, wondering if they would leave him exposed for the Seattle draft?

If they decide they do not want him and can't move him in a trade? Not sure it is as ridiculous as some of you think. I personally think he is on his last contract with the Rangers and do not think he will finish it here, but we shall see.
That’s an incredibly bad case of asset management. No matter how bad his political stances are perceived he was a 50 pt defenseman in a shortened season and he plays on the right side That’s valuable.
They have depth on the right side, and he was not already benched once because of his politics. I agree with you as I do not care about his politics or any other 25 year old without an education's politics, conservative or liberal. However, the way he goes about it is the issue. I would lying if I said I do not worry that he will say something that crosses the line of no return and the organization feels they just have to cut bait with him. Obviously, I would hope they try to trade him first, and hope they can get true value for him, expansion draft just popped into my head when I was reading something about the expansion draft in general.
The rangers are looking at losing lemieux, Howden or Hajek for the expansion draft. There’s several tiers before you get to someone like deangelo.

This meme of him having 'political stances' is comical. Are you going to tell me that Tony DeAngelo has deeply held opinions on the earned income tax credit, charter schools, and the role of regulation in industry?
I was being vague on purpose. As I’m trying to avoid having any discussion on his actual politics.
Not only that, but because he is a Trump supporter, he is the devil on Earth. Lebron James, however is a saint for supporting Biden.
True. My point though is if it gets to the point during the season that they just do not want him. My buddy coaches HS basketball and often has to tell a player, "you are good, but you are not good enough to be an a*********e".

I really hope he's on PP1. I love Fox but Tony is way more dynamic on the PP and better suited.
That will likely never happen, I imagine Tony's agent is earning his money to ensure that he never crosses that line.

Dont forget his worth. When the Rangers were at their best last year, ADA was in the center of it.
He's a dynamic game changer.. there's no denying that aspect. he does have his warts... hopefully with time they can be resolved from his game. The issue is the whole team is heavily weighted on 'offense'.
TBH I think playing for a coach like Torts would be the best thing for ADA.
