Seravalli: Hurricanes closing in on 1 year deal with Tony DeAngelo

[sandybridge]

so, he has found another locker room to trash. He is turning into the next Yashin.

 

[bleedgreen]

Gardiner is your man

Wouldn’t shock me to be honest. Not at this point.

 

[Sempiternal]

Hard to take the Hurricanes seriously after that Red Wings trade.

Ah, bless your heart.

So there was an incident in juniors involving some kind of slur that no one knows what the slur was or what the context of the slur was. Then there was the abuse of official incident in Arizona. But his most recent issues have just been about being a Trump supporter on Twitter, right?

It's not like he's a criminal, or anything? Just a meat-head?

Since when did the certain_people start to care for the actual facts?
The important part is that the inmates are actually taking over the asylum IRL

Yep. I mean if we manage to get Dougie extended, TDA replaces Bean, and manage to bring in two good goalies (or keep Mrazek) it's one thing. I haven't seen much indicating it though aside from being tied to speculation on Raanta.

And again, if we get him, great, he's a damn good goalie. So who plays the other 60 games when he's on the IR again?

You could just have him lay in the crease, and the players try to block all high shots!

 

[Petey O]

Good for Carolina and DeAngelo. Hope he plays to his potential.

 

[AK4774]

Lol, he got crucified by the Rangers for being the only one with heart and balls on their team and calling the rest of them out for being p***yes. Only for Tom Wilson to prove to the world how right he was 2 months later culminating in the Rangers cleaning house and dumping their skill to load up on goons. Last "problematic" defenseman Carolina got was museum boy so DeAngelo is in good company there

 

[Nate070]

Yeah must be awful to get a good and young defender. Why would anyone want that?

Except for the little thing that he is a nutcase

 

[Ice Mammoth]

I think a one-year contract is the club's mistake.
Considering the huge popularity of Tony.
Great respect for the personality of Tony DeAngelo in the media.

I think the contract should be for two or three years. Low AAV.
The one-year contract is the most beneficial for DeAngelo itself.
In case of a good game and no scandals, the next contract will be with the usual AAV.
If the player is used correctly – this is very likely.
The team makes poor use of the current situation.

Good luck Tony.

Gord Miller right now on Overdrive just said he called a long time employee of the Rangers and asked him to rank DeAngelo on a scale from 1 to 10.

1 being a great guy, 10 being the absolute worst.

He said the guy responded he's a 1, the guys loved him, the guys around the rink loved him. Take that for what it's worth.

Not hard to see this, seems rather outgoing personality. I suspect that any problems the organizations have with him are related to inability to keep certain topics out of workplace.

If i had to guess, he will continue changing teams every couple of years. Hotheaded incredible offensive defender with mostly suspect defensive game.

 

[Spectra]

Good for them, he'll take them to the next level!

The breaking point for getting him out of NYR was apparently some altercation with his teammate Georgiev

 

[Pens x]

A tad risky for Carolina but you can’t deny that the guy can play.

 

[SteelCityCannon]

ONE instance of using a "slur" when he was younger doesn't define him to me.

I'm more tolerant and open minded than you I guess..

We gonna just pretend he hasn't been booted off every team he's been on?

I know "politics" is the easy cop out, but it's pretty obvious that the guys a douche. Camaraderie is too important in the nhl and hockey in general for a guy like this to be around.

 

[CanucksMJL]

Good for Tony and good for Carolina. Just yesterday I was reading as many articles as I could about Tony to understand why such a talent was shunned from the league.

 

[HBK27]

Good deal for Carolina

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Cheap and easily buried

 

[CupInSIX]

Good deal for Carolina

Potentially the best signing of the offseason. Virtually zero risk for Carolina.

 

[Timeless Winter]

Using the extra money they saved from not paying Nedeljkovic.

That money is going to offer sheeting KK.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Trash.

 

[Kiekura]

Because he is shitty person who doesn't deserve to play in NHL.

Huh?

This is weird.
