That Rangers press conference with Gorton and Davidson was a bit weird in tone.
They seemed to downplay a lot of DeAngelo's more public issues and reputation, spoke positively of his on ice success last year, and the said the decision was based on a desire to win.
I wouldn't doubt there are probably some legal issues in terms of not airing dirty laundry, but I don't know how you come down so decisively on the disciplinary action while tap dancing around the reason why.

honestly no team tries to build a culture, where ada actually fits in. the rangers is looking for a trade partner, which is desperate enough to make an exception because of his talent level.Q will glare the kid to death.
No thanks. We will find a different way to move Yandle
Definitely won't fit into the culture FLA is trying to build
Gotta keep that chemistry together, right?What would a package of ADA at 50% plus Georgiev cost Edmonton?
Don't think those two together would be a good package...What would a package of ADA at 50% plus Georgiev cost Edmonton?
We were told you don't need Georgiev during the offseason.What would a package of ADA at 50% plus Georgiev cost Edmonton?
They had to downplay it because that idiot blogger recklessly tied Miller to DeAngelo's actions. Had they started to air out some of the dirty laundry, that would have opened the floodgates for "oh if DeAngelo did this, then he did that as well" which would have terrible implications for Miller and the entire organization if they allowed a minority player to be a victim of racial attacks.
Just think about if the reports about DeAngelo's treatment of Miller were true, it would be a scandal on a national scale that would cost JD, Gorton, Quinn and every single person who works for the team their jobs and would mean the Rangers locker room was rotten to the core and would have to blown up, not just DeAngelo, but the entire team.
It would have destroyed the entire Rangers brand. The blogger really really really screwed up and owes KA Miller a massive apology for using him as a pawn to push an agenda.
Even jerks can be nice to kids.His personality isn't for everyone. Shocked no mention of him skating with local youth players all summer and offering his assistance to help them out.
What exactly happened on Saturday between DeAngelo and Georgiev
Sarnia's Anthony DeAngelo suspended for slur directed at teammate
he used a slur(s) that was homophobic and/or racist. one isn't any better than the other. not sure why people keep trying to deny that this happened. oh, and he was suspended twice for violating the same rule. it was clearly bad enough considering his own team went to the league to report it
I know these things go hand-in-hand but I wish this thread was less 'Tony's a jerk' and more off-the-wall trade ideas. The first has been pretty well established.
