More talented offensively, for sure. But his defensive deficiencies and his attitude have always been well known.
DeAngelo played better than Nurse when he got to the Soo. Once he got hurt the Soo were done those playoffs.

I wish things could have been different but I think this is better for all involved," said DeAngelo's father, Lou. "We are thankful for the opportunity... We were looking for an opportunity to play in the NHL sooner rather than later.". From Joe Smith
Sounds like we are getting out front of a headache.

Family talking in his name. Check
Statement implying he's NHL ready. Check
Multi suspects scratches. Check
Good riddance.

His family probably saw the **** from Drouin's situation and probably thought he was getting blocked from the NHL as well and stirred **** up. We don't need any more situations like Drouin's so good riddance.

Better admit your fault early and give the problem away. This is nothing that should be around a playoff caliber team. And unless he makes a 180 turn in ARZ he ain't make it there either.
Like the pick though, not many rightys out there so gotta go with BPA. Sad that we passed on Niemeläinen completly though

I guess they know something we don't but I'm bummed DeAngelo is gone, still developing but had great offensive promise... something none of our D has.

Sounds like another whiny kid with over involved parents.

Sure his numbers weren't great but he's still developing, specially being more offensively minded it would take some time to develop. D usually take longer to get going. Idk about this trade considering he was gonna be a big part of the PP and a RD as well

At least we have Koekkoek, he looked like a stud and looked to have some offence in him during the playoffs

There's always a fair deal of revisionist history when comparisons to Leafs players and prospects are involved.

That video got me really excited about him. Finally a defender that is not afraid to shoot the damn puck. And looks like he can run a PP pretty decent. Lets see if those things can translate. And plays with confidence it seems, with those rushes up the ice.
Who knows maybe after all those forward steals we gotta have a great defender at some point right?

a lot of masin here hopefully adds the offense
will say think very highly of tony d sorry to see him leave but if he played with fire after the drouin debacle he was gonna get burned. Per all reports he is still a head case in ways and wont play defense. Tony d has soo much talent he could probably wind up a good forward but if he wont play the 200 foot game at all he still wouldnt cut it for this team now or in the future.
Tough call leaves major hole on rh side for now. See what we cook up we got to move bodies at one point so someone should garner an acquisition that fulfills the need
I like it like I said with drouin i want guys who will go through the wall no one wanted to pay premium for him we kept him we had eye on another guy and tony d said trade me so we made a point again to everyone

This, imo, is what the DeAngelo trade came down to.
He, or at least his family, believe he is NHL-ready while the Lightning (and myself, for that matter) disagree due to his defensive deficiencies.
Hand was forced, and they just so happened to get a player that they highly covet out of it.
