Dreger: DeAngelo Trade could happen Between 24/48 Hours (MOD WARNING IN OP)

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Not as bad as Skinner.

Forgot this one

 

[Richard88]

DeAngelo (50% retained) for Erik Johnson. Who needs defense when you can simply outscore the other team?

Toews -- Makar
Byram -- Girard
Graves -- DeAngelo





(Obviously joking here if any one didn't realise)

Barrie has been fine all season, no idea why people were jumping on him early.

He wasn't impressive to start the season but he wasn't actively bad like some Oilers fans were claiming.

People just need to understand with Barrie youre going to get A offense, D defence. It’s just what he is.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Barrie’s been much better the last few games, and the last thing we need is to bring a racist like DeAngelo into a blueline with Nurse/Jones/Bear. Nurse would beat the shit out of him grinning the entire time.

keep your erotic fan fictions to yourself

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

why did he go unclaimed......

Because those teams likely want to send salary the other way.

 

[Oleksiak]

DeAngelo was an absolute wizard with the puck last season. I understand its the flavor to bash the guy's character right now, but let's not pretend his isn't insanely talented offensively.

And a massive liability defensively. Most NHL coaches would be putting him in the press box until he starts playing to at least an AHL standard in his own end. He's absolute garbage.

 

[Turin]

Sounds as if thought the rangers are gonna retain 40-50%

Even then it’d be TOUGH. But he’d help their power play if he was cheap. Pittsburgh is a zero tolerance environment though.

 

[BigFatCat999]

Good thing Dredger is a joke lol but if true, even funnier.
Oh well. Won't be the leafs for sure.

Leafs do it, Simmonds flat out murders the kid. Kid goes on LTIR. Leafs have cash to pay him and get LTIR. Sounds like a win to me,

Watch it's the Preds and I go, oh WTF!

 

[Fisticuffer]

Evander Kane too.

I'm thinking it's the Sharks and there's so many signs pointing to them.

That would give them nearly 25 million in offensive D. If they’re stuck with Jones they would be wise to strengthen team defense.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Any team with a bit of self respect shouldn't touch this motherf***er

 

[ChaoticOrange]

The Sens are so desperate for help on the blueline, I can see them making a move for the guy.

But I'd worry a lot about his influence in that locker room.

they literally could have had him for free yesterday. Lots of cap space.

wanna dump White ?

 

[tinfish]

Neal is a healthy scratch today for the Oilers after scoring 2 goals his last game. I want no part of Deangelo, even if Neal goes the other way.

 

[LOFIN]

And a massive liability defensively. Most NHL coaches would be putting him in the press box until he starts playing to at least an AHL standard in his own end. He's absolute garbage.

A guy who is a liability defensively but great at offense ---> a guy who is a liability in both ends.

Like I said, tell him to concentrate on hockey for his own good, and play him next to a more defensively midend guy.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Which team is already hated and or trashed by everyone and don’t give a f***?


Were the Pens the team keeps popping up in defenseman rumors?

He looks good in Penguins yellow.

 

[JT Kreider]

The Rangers are not going to take a bad contract that has term back for him

 

[Hale The Villain]

they literally could have had him for free yesterday. Lots of cap space.

No way they take on 4.3M salary without any going back.

Would have to send Reilly/Coburn + Anisimov/Paquette/White back the other way.

 

[Goulet17]

What team has a GM that may be in danger of losing his job? Seems like a desperation move by a GM trying to stay employed.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Damn, I thought his career was over?????????????????????

There once was this guy named Michael Vick.

 

[BeLeafing]

Disappointing. He has already had plenty of shots in his career and failed miserably at every step. He hasn't shown an attempt or willingness to grow as an individual. Tolerance for people like this is too high in professional sports. I wouldn't want my team to be the one to grab him.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

I think Ottawa or Detroit is where he goes. Both have cap room for him and are rebuilding so may be willing to deal with his bs and take time to work with him on it.

Both teams could use another puck-moving D

 

[Hale The Villain]

The Rangers are not going to take a bad contract that has term back for him

Yeah not sure why they would.

Can buyout DeAngelo this summer and take on a 383K penalty in next year and 883K penalty the following year.

 

[Papa Francouz]

Can't say I know much about this guy. Can someone give me a rundown on how he is as a player & teammate?

 

[Oleksiak]

A guy who is a liability defensively but great at offense ---> a guy who is a liability in both ends.

Like I said, tell him to concentrate on hockey for his own good, and play him next to a more defensively midend guy.

Disagree. Zero room in this league for a defenseman who can't play defense. Every team in the league who has guys in the AHL who play better defense than this pylon. I don't care how much offense he puts up, the way he plays in his own zone is simply unacceptable.

 

[M2Beezy]

DeAngelo 50% retained and a 2nd for Myers and Eriksson
