Tony DeAngelo's contract with SKA St. Petersburg is terminated

I really do wonder about that. With the devaluation of the ruble vs USD (essentially halved over the past ~2 years), it may not be all that worthwhile for him to play over there if his goal is to use to eventually live in the U.S.

IIRC they used to pay in USD, but that obviously isn't (can't be) the case any longer. I'm not even sure how a guy like Tony can transfer any money he made there to an account he can access here. Do they pay in bitcoin?

Someone here has to know.

Maybe he just really wanted to get back for the inauguration.

Take this with a grain of salt, there is nothing to back this up.

The player does have a history of troubles though. So this could have merit based on his past.

There are still crazy enough GM's in the league to sign TD. Buffalo or Philly inbound?

Philly had him for a year, then waived him for his 2nd buyout in 2022. They wanted to trade him back to Carolina but I guess you can't trade someone back and forth to the same team without retaining salary, hence the buyout, making Tony D the first player to ever be bought out twice.

How could woke Russia do this

Surprised he didn't meet an untimely accident with a skyscraper window/high-rise balcony.

What a surprise.

Telling a coach to F off is normal.



No idea what actually happened but if the above post about the bonuses is correct? I can see that pissing of the other players, coaches and the owner.

Even in Russia. Hockey is a team sport

If a player is a racist but otherwise a quiet player who is talented and gets along with people, NHL management would have no problem with them on their club.

He is out of hockey because he is a twat, not for his views.

Some of us have been saying that for awhile.
