Player Discussion Tony DeAngelo: Part V

[GoAwayPanarin]

Everyone talks about DeAngelo as a product of Panarin/Mika. Panarin/Mika success has a lot to do with DeAngelo tho. Not to mention they are a sick 3v3 unit.

I mean they help but as you said, they are also better players when they play with him.

Numbers reflect that.

 

[Jackson Ranger]

I love watching this kid play. Just in general his mind for the game combined with his chippiness is a pure joy to watch

He was awesome last night chirping the Caps bench in the third period. He was giving it to everyone on the bench. Great to see that moxy from a Ranger player.

You missed one team. Unfortunate to say, they have a chance that not one single player will hit 50 points.

Ducks?

Ducks?

Yup.

Maybe it's the Italian thing but is Tony DeAngelo what the Rangers were expecting Michael Del Zotto to become?

I think it's fair to say that ADA has exceeded even the most optimistic projections there were for MDZ.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

It is crazy to think that that a majority of the players on the Rangers including ADA have an extra level (or two or three!) of development left in them, including two of the goalies...

With that said, this Rangers team is currently top 10 in the league in ROWs, its scary to think about what the ceiling is for this club moving forward.

 

[Levitate]

so what's his usage like cuz I hate finding whatever the newest fancy charts are and how to interpret them. A criticism I see is that he's "heavily sheltered" though i'm not sure that's 100% correct.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

56% OZ starts. Yes it leans one way, but its not drastic and your better offensive D usually tend to get the OZ starts anyway.

The heavily sheltered argument holds no weight because he has had to drag around Staal.

 

[Blue Blooded]

With his 5v5 goal last night he is now 3rd in both 5v5 P/60 and 5v5 G/60 and has a good chance of leading the league in P/60 when it's all said and done:

If Hamilton falls out of the TOI threshold at season's end he has a chance for #1 in G/60 as well:

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

I've been telling yall for years.. The kid is a f***ing stud

Torts would have crushed Tony too.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Torts would have crushed Tony too.

Holy shit are you right. Torts and a 22-y-o ADA would have been a terrible combo.

 

[Rempe73]

It's worth pointing out that earlier in the season many people including yourself, the blueshirt breakaway guys (actually till today they talk about it) and the blueshirt banter guys (also till today) were totally fine with trading him away.

Last year I wanted to try to lock him up at 8x5. Now I'm guessing toget 8 years outta him will cost 8 mil.

I have a feeling Tony is gonna get the arbitration game.. and that's bad.

That’s exactly what I stated. 8 years, 4.5-5.5 AAV. If he would have taken it. I would have even gone up to 6 mil (right now that would look great but last year that was slightly pushing it).

 

[SML2]

So say they can't agree on a contract and they decide that Lundqvist coming down the pipe is the way they want to go. Who's in the market for Tony D and what's the return look like?

A bunch of teams.

A ton of good stuff.

 

[CasusBelli]

Holy shit are you right. Torts and a 22-y-o ADA would have been a terrible combo.

I wonder what Torts would have said to Tony had he instead of Quinn been coach when ADA said “I’ll do whatever the f*** I want” after the coach reprimanded him on the bench for taking a penalty.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Bros, Torts and ADA would have fought each other. We'd have a clip of that.

has this happened with Quinn, I remember Namestikov gave a stare when he got sent to the penalty box for a too many men penaltiy. I don't recall this happened with ADA although I could be wrong?

I forget against whom, but ADA took a boneheaded penalty one game and scored as soon as he got out of the box, which nevertheless displeased Quinn.

okay I remember it now. Now I gotta find the clip. It has to be online somewhere

Yay it finally came in the mail

Sweet Jesus.

Show me a defenseman who isn't a product of their forwards...Bobby Orr? Erik Karlsson? Look at Neal Pionk, he basically keeps the puck warm on Winnipeg's PP and has 25 pts just from that. Carlson basically exists the feed the puck to the GOAT goal-scorer.

I feel like people keep waiting for ADA to “come down” and I’m just not sure that’s going to be a thing.

He’s pretty much holding or building on a 55+ point pace for a year, and spread over two seasons.

In the past we’ve talked about him someday hitting that Dan Boyle type level — and someday has looked like it’s here for a while now.

I was reading his prospect reports last week and came across the Dan Boyle comparison. People should remember: DeAngelo was supposed to be amazing offensively, it was all that other bullshit that was a knock on him.
