Waived: Tony DeAngelo

[Harbour Dog]

Definitely makes us worse in the short term. Only a blip on the radar for our bright future though!

I'm not going to pretend that I'm not glad that he isn't going to be a constant topic of discussion anymore.

 

[Rempe73]

Let’s hope no one picks him up. And I’m praying this situation gets resolved and Tony is back in the lineup soon. If you’re happy about potentially losing him for nothing, you’re not a Rangers fan.

 

[nyrleetch]

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.

It's not actually his burner. But he probably does have a burner somewhere.

 

[True Blue]

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

You right. Should have thought of that sooner. Nothing like proudly displaying the “holier than thou” mantle.

 

[GAGLine]

I didn't read every post, so maybe someone mentioned this already.

If we buy ADA out this summer, he will only cost $883,333 against the cap in 2021-22 (Players under 26 only cost 1/3rd on the buyout).

I don't know if it will come to that, but I have to imagine that if no one claims him and we can't find a trade for him, they will buy him out at the first opportunity.

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.

This. Panarin wanted the NYR, easy signing. Fox wanted NYR, easy trade and signing. Gift wrapped two franchise wingers. They’ve done nothing else. Nothing.

This seems like it might kill whatever relationship he had with the team. I have a hard time seeing him back in the lineup for us ever again.

 

[Cheapshot]

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

Because part of discussion is speculation? No ones saying don’t wait but wether it’s true or not there’s something out there to talk about.

 

[Zoot Love]

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

Glad you agree.

It makes us worse in the long term because he was an asset we could've (should have last summer) flipped to get us the 2C we need.

It is what it is. It just sucks we made the wrong decision.

 

[Harbour Dog]

I wonder if Gorton made a few calls about Bennett or some other guys first. I'm not a big Bennett guy, but it would be better than losing ADA for nothing.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Well if he fought georgiev I don’t blame him, guy sucked last night

 

[charliemurphy]

Im sorry but so does 80% of the Garden and ticket base. This idea that he’s a problem because he’s a shock to the local system is laughable. None of it is ok btw. Not defending it.

But you keep claiming the Rangers can’t keep him bc he clashes with the city and fan base. Do you....know any Rangers fans???

That’s funny. Every Ranger fan I know including some fellow tickets holders couldn’t be happier with today’s news. Writing has been on the wall for a while. Time to turn the page and get back at it tomorrow against Pitt.

 

[Messiswoke]

Yep. Like there’s no doubt DeAngelo is a POS. And he doesn’t look the same right now.

But this team has made far more bad/questionable asset management decisions than good ones lately. It’s troubling, and I hope if it continues people can put their love for John Davidson aside and look at the situation rationally.

You its very troubling when people think they can categorize people as a POS. I wish we could go back to the days that if you wanted to call some something like that you had the guts to do it to their face. I guess everyone has developed internet muscles and think they are so, so tough! How many on this board have had a personal interaction with Tony D? If he beat his girlfriend (hello NFL), got arrested for doing drugs (ie Kevin Stevens), slept with his teammates wife (Eric Lindros), or stuff like that you might be ok calling him a POS. But for political statements??? Wow, just wow!

I don't think we made the wrong decision. I think the offers just weren't there.

It's not always about asset management. We don't need to win every transaction. Sometimes it's better for the team to just cut bait and move on.

 

[valence]

I love rangers they're never boring and fans like us are so passionate with this team even though the blueshirts are bad for our blood pressure. Stay tuned!!! Gotta luv these rangers. Always something going on. Stinks though we getting nothing back.

i don't disagree with much of this,
but the 'lose him for nothing' line is way over-used at HFB -
in flat Cap world, subtracting >$4M Cap Hit also represents some opportunity

 

[leetch99]

Nah it would be Trouba.

Probably...we all know Kreider is certainly no finisher.

Tony likely had it coming with his uncontrollable mouth.....what a terrible waste of talent....I hope he can get some professional help in his life....he likely can afford it now . I have been a big supporter of his despite his poor D and Twitter stuff but he has been off kilter since the start of the season and it was noticeable most games . We will survive without him and likely our focus will improve .

 

[Messiswoke]

Maybe he refused to acknowledge that the Penguins won the game last night

Clever, but maybe the Pens stole some goals so he was correct. Wondering out loud for a friend........

It’s all speculation, but the rush to judgement and assignment of blame is asinine.

Nah he’s done he won’t play another game here

He’s not worth the headache and we know the way JD is, they aren’t going to tolerate it

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

I think the team has been trying to trade ADA for a long time. His value seems to not be as high as some people here think. When you get the player you get the person too and this guy hasn’t learned any lessons despite all the times he has been disciplined.

 

[mrhockey193195]

Well if he fought georgiev I don’t blame him, guy sucked last night

And Tony didn't?

 

[aufheben]

I wonder if Gorton made a few calls about Bennett or some other guys first. I'm not a big Bennett guy, but it would be better than losing ADA for nothing.

They’ve been shopping him for months. People on here don’t seem to understand that the other team has to agree to it.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Georgiev at +55o is good value.

The more you put things together the more it seems like he was involved. Not practicing today, he and Tony had that mix up behind the net right b4 the OTG. where thers's smoke...
