Waived: [CAR] D Tony DeAngelo waived by the Hurricanes (cleared)

[ryan callahan]

I know deangelo comes with other baggage, but I've always wondered why these talented offensive-defensemen don't get a crack at playing on the wing. Would take some learning but when the raw ability is there you'd think it's worth a shot if they could still contribute.

DeAngelo actually was a forward until he switched to defense in his D-3. If he never switches to defense it is very likely he never makes the NHL.

Ok, then why was DeAngelo the one who got cut? It’s possible they’re both assholes, but the team’s response was telling.

It’s fairly simple. The rangers couldnt have nearly 1/3 of their entire salary cap locked up on the right side of their D. That paired with publicly supporting trump in nyc

..or he tried to punch a teammate and got no support because he’s an asshole. Occam’s razor says it’s that.

Fyi, georgiev pushed him first (in the face) and then tony crushed him.

Ok Tony, and this info comes from where?

 

[Rpenny]

The fact no team wanted him at 50% says a lot

Tony was yelling stuff at him. Different people have different versions but all were very bad what yelled. Tony's father is a nasty piece of work and he raised a nasty piece of work

Some people are just hell bent to make Tony out to be the victim.

You guys have to remember there are people on here who have friends on nhl teams. And also fyi, there are nhl players themselves who read this site

Now does he (finally) come to NJ?

The reasons three players get waived is two fold. 1)Anderson coming of the IR 2) The trade

Let's not forget that he was a complete liability when actually defending, and had already been a healthy scratch for several games that season because they were better off with Anthony Bietto back there.

Some people see themselves in Tony.

Welcome to Edmonton!

 

[Ralonzo]

Cause he snap crackle and pops?

He’s grrrrrrrreat!?

He’s got 2 scoops?

He follows his nose?!

Help - what does this mean!

It doesn't mean he's grrrrrrrreat, I'm pretty sure. And it sure as heck better not be referencing this:

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Next career move is to the KHL and applying for Russian citizenship.

 

[Rebels57]

Lest we forget the horrors of Charles "Chuck" Fletcher trading a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th for DeAngelo, then giving him 2 years $10 million, just a few summers ago.

That after he gave Arizona a 2nd and 7th to take the far superior Gostisbehere for free.

What a GM.

It usually doesn't work out, their game is usually based on movement patterns that work better for a defenseman. It has failed so many times. Many guys are excellent at creating offense from the back end whilst they can't get used to the game a winger has to play.

if no one took him for free at $1.675m his nhl days might soon be coming to an end.

Defensemen by virtue of the position usually have more time to handle the puck. They also get to handle it with momentum and a head start more often like when retreiving a puck and turning up ice.

Unless you're a superstar winger, a lot of your time will be spent grinding in the corners and along boards, and lots of stopping and starting, not something OFD like to do.

I personally never understood the put an OFD @ winger thing but that' just me

I'm far from a TDA fan but these videos are pejorative slurred and sad. They made me angry

DeAngelo was good for the Rangers overall. I didnt' see one 'gotcha comment. And in the 1st video he helped made a lot of those goals happen.

Everyone knew he had defensive warts, you lived with 'em, Staal was certainly washed in his final years.

I'm glad Tony wasn't moved. Canes are going to need depth and Tony hasn't had any issues in Carolina, even this year with limited playing time. He knows our system, gets along with the team and coach.

Hopefully we won't need him to be more than a 3rd pairing guy and 2nd PP unit guy, but it's nice to have him as depth.

I wouldn’t be shocked if they try to re-sign him as a 3rd-pairing guy for next year. He will probably be cheaper and we know he fits.

I love reading how he is a noted locker room cancer. Its pretty funny actually that many if his Ranger team mates are great friends of his and even invited him to weddings and everyone he has been a team mate with in Carolina think he's a great team mate.

If he matured and took his game a step forward he would be this
