Waived: Tony DeAngelo

[True Blue]

Not enough vets that command a locker room presence. Someone (a player) needs to take hold of the room. This is what happens when guys don’t have a team mate to keep them in check.

And taking charge may have well been of what happened. Again, why not wait for the truth to emerge?

 

[LokiDog]

Claimed or not I don’t see him dressing soon.

 

[NYRKing]

Surreal. What an incredible season he had last year. Such a shame.

And taking charge may have well been of what happened. Again, why not wait for the truth to emerge?

Where's the fun in that? Plus you don't get to say "I told you so."

 

[mas0764]

Weird that both Troubs and Mika said things that doesn't make it sound like they're throwing him under the bus, opposite in fact. Perhaps damage control but curious...

I bet management likes him less than the rest of the team does.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Buch would be the last Ranger I’d want to fight

I can pick out a few ahead of him, but in his media availability videos Georgie looks ripped and word is he hit the gym...it shows

 

[17futurecap]

I’m actually of the mindset he dosen’t get claimed

He’s a grade A asshole who’s been run out of 3 organizations now with multiple conduct issues and got into a fight with his teammate last night

I wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole

Does any team even have the cap to just do an outright claim, like yes Detroit, LA, the Devils or Ottawa could, but it’s not like any of them are contending.

 

[Zoot Love]

The Rangers are a better team with Tony D than without, given our list of dmen.

He gave the team a hard time after the game, maybe there were punches thrown? Give him the C.

 

[chosen]

He's the coach. He's responsible for having the room in order. He very obviously does not.

He may have just put it in order.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

damn wtf is going on

 

[AKA Chief]

We traded Stepan after giving hima HORRIFIC contract.

Got back Lias and ADA.

I am beyond unenthusiastic about this guys ability to build a team, hire personnel and evaluate talent. Whether it's in FA, long term cap management, player development, personnel hirings, use of picks or player re-signings it doesn't matter.

Across the board he has monumental failures occurring at a rate that should be alarming to every NYR fan

Such a mixed bag with Gorton but most GM's resumes are filled with good and bad. In the end, he will be saved by Panarin, Laf, Fox and Shesty.

I will say this though, this organization has had un unusual amount of issues with young players. JT Miller, Lias, ADA, and Kravtsov (not sure Skjei fits in here) but that's a lot of high first round talent gone south (and, yes, I realize the book isn't closed on Kravtsov).

 

[East Coast Bias]

Then what happens if he doesn’t get claimed? Taxi squad ?

My understanding is yes. Then he can go back and forth on the taxi squad.

 

[DialUp]

Coach Quinn: "No practice Tuesday and Wednesday guys, looks like we are getting 14 inches."

ADA: "That's what she said."

Quinn: "Waived."

 

[Messiswoke]

I know we love JD and Gorton, but our management has been very questionable.

Tony isn’t doing himself any favors, but this entire situation is a disaster.

Yep the Rangers took an asset with some value and made him worthless. That is irresponsible.

 

[I Eat Crow]

He may have just put it in order.

Good on the front office for sending a message.

They're still not off the hook for not recognizing that they had an asset they could have dealt at it's highest value but didn't.

 

[mas0764]

Yes keep defending this guy, who has had numerous offense in life. Keep defending this guy man. Clearly everyone is out to get him.

I’m not defending anything here? If he punched a teammate the team is entirely within its right to decide this.

Still think it’s shitty asset management.

 

[Hire Sather]

I really hope we find out who snuffed him

 

[Mandar]

The thought that went into this.....impressive

 

[NYSPORTS]

J.D. and Gordon had better get their heads out of their @sses. They got two lottery gifts and appear to be doing more watching and waiting then leading.

 

[Irishguy42]

I really hope we find out who snuffed him

And make them captain

 

[Tob]

Funny how most of the rumors are of someone punching Tony first but now lots of it is the other way around where Tony punched someone first

 

[Messiswoke]

He did bash Trouba on his burner...

Do we know for sure that he had a burner account? If he did then he made his bed. Can't do that no matter how good you are. And he ain't that good.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I really hope we find out who snuffed him

It’s gonna come out for sure

As much as the organization would probably want to keep it quiet, there were way too many people around for this not to come out

 

[cwede]

pro teams gamble on talent all the time. acquiring him wasn't the big fail

to me, not trading him in off-season, after his breakout season, plus Fox's emergence (Lundkvist's emergence, Schneider draft,) was maybe the greater missed opportunity

 

[Cheapshot]

Sounds like someone stepped in last night...

Little late in that one don’t you think... could have been prevented to begin with. Guys fight all the time. Not in the tunnel after a game guy.
