So true the pundits are going nuts for this D Corps and I’d say easily 90 percent of them have no idea how good DeAngelo is. They don’t even mention him when he’s probably our second best guy behind Trouba. I think he opens a ton of eyes this year.

Georgiev gets left off a lot of/most lists, so I assume people are intentionally leaving DeAngelo out.

Change is good.
DeAngelo's played way too many games counting his time in both NY and ARI to qualify for anyone's prospect list.
Not talking about him as a prospect. Talking about him as a 23 year old stud offensive righty dman that can skate and came light years in terms of his defensive play. People should be going Gaga over this guy and most pundits forget he’s even on the team let alone in our top 4. He should be in PEN on our second pairing for a long time.
I find it amusing how many people are penciling in Fox over ADA with their roster combos.

When I see ADA, I see a lot of Dan Boyle at the same age.
And if he can put it all together like Boyle did, and similarly fly under the radar, that's awesome.

I didn’t realize how high I was on ADA until I heard others opinions of him. I thought he had a really positive season at an important time for himself.

He could win the Norris next season and certain posters will still say he's terrible.

ADA made great strides last season, earned Quinn's trust, and with Shatty/Pionk/McQuaid gone, is for sure in NYR's top 2 RHD starting out, whether the next guy is Fox, Rykov, Hajek, Smith, Keane, doesnt matter much, it will likely be fluid for months.

Hot take: ADA is our 1 RD & Trouba is 2 by next season

Folks on the main board questioning Miller's speed and skating makes my head hurt.

Dolan sucks!!!
If the Rangers were sure about ADA, they wouldn't have trade potentially two 2nd round picks to acquire Fox rather than wait to sign Fox as a free agent next August.

They traded assets for Fox because they valued having him under team control immediately rather than waiting a year. Not sure how DeAngelo factors in.

If the Rangers weren’t sure about ADA, they wouldn’t have bought-out Shattenkirk...

Does anyone know if ADA has improved his shot durning the off season? His shooting has always been subpar, both wrist and slapper.

completely disagree with this...that's like saying that if we drafted kakko because we aren't sure about kravtsov. or if we draft a center next year it means we aren't sure about zibanejad.
shattenkirk was bought out because it was the only single move that cleared enough cap space for the current situation. any other move would have required multiple moves to be made. it is simple as that. if a shattenkirk buyout this year only saved $3 mil this year instead of $6 mil he'd probably still be here.
Fox acquisition was unrelated to ADA. In Fox you had a f***ing stud prospect who really wanted to play here. No-brainer to bring him on board. You can never have too many good RHD, and you can never have too many offensively-gifted D. They're both like lefties in baseball. Just can't have too many. And if you do somehow have too many, there are always other teams that will be happy to trade for them.

Building a good team from youth is about quantity of quality prospects. Acquiring Fox has nothing to do with any one else they had in the organization. They saw an opportunity to acquire a high-potential player and they did it.
I would think their list is Trouba, Fox, DeAngelo............with the thinking that DeAngelo goes in expansion and Lundqvist is ready by then to replace him.
or TDA is dealt before expansion.
