I’ve seen some rangers fans say it here but I haven’t anywhere else, where was it said Georgiev was disliked?
Also there was more to the Tony D trade than that. The coaching staff had had prior issues with his discipline issues and warned him before the Georgiev thing. Pretty sure the coach himself alluded to that tho I’d have to dig up the old article.
It’s unfortunate some blogger made up a story, because he muddied up the picture now some of Tony’s fans use that to act like any and all other things said about him are made up or hugely exaggerated
He’s a talented (offensively) dman who had issues before even making the NHL far back as junior. Got moved on from by Tampa before they had their stacked D because issues with him and the coaches in the AHL. Arizona moved on. Rangers moved on, Flyers
There’s no way around the fact he’s been on way more teams than you’d expect from an offensively talented defenseman, especially right handed as they’re perpetually in demand.
You can have likeable qualities and have issues simultaneously. His issues seem to have been with authority figures if I had to guess just given the issues with multiple coaches (disagreements over usage or minutes, history of being benched) and multiple times refs.
The Canes unsurprisingly have a good room. They also have the style of team to shelter the f*** out of a defenseman like DeAngelo where his play flaws can be more or less ignored
