Have fun in Russia!

 

[Canovin]

Some team is going to sign him to league minimum

 

[Bond]

Yeah, would have held to be bought out if I was him as well.

 

[Joe Sakic]

This kid seems like the biggest idiot.

 

[Chips]

Can someone educate me as to why he might not have wanted to void his contract? Was it just the money? I assume he would have been signed by another team, and actually play. I can’t imagine sitting out an entire season is helpful building your career

also, if his contract is voided, what do waivers do? andthen hes a free agent after? Im confused by that

 

[ToDavid]

Not much incentive for him to accept contract termination if they're going to buy him out. He'll be a UFA either way, make ~$800k for two years from his buyout plus anything else if other teams are interested.

Depends. If he went to rehab his image or if he makes a public example on how he has changed for the better then he will likely get another shot in the NHL. This is a young 50+ pt RHD defender with outstanding ADV stats after all. I could see him sitting out a season for that reason. Otherwise, he's going to Russia IMO.

Money + relaxing on couch > less money + playing

I thought i read last year his advance stats made his play look unsustainable, some stats geeks were already anticipating Fox surpassing him

It literally would make zero sense for him to agree to terminate his contract and lose the money of what's left on it. You realize he loses all the money if he terminates right?

Advanced stats say Fox is the best dman in the league with the only close person being McAvoy. And honestly, they are probably the 2 best dmen in the league already. And just looking at some of the more basic possession and shot metrics Deangelo was great especially compared to his teammates (until fox came to the team and was like hey gimme the norris as a 2nd year player)... Seriously Fox looks like the best dman since Karlsson so it's unfair to compare basically anyone to him

Ya, Siberia.

He’s pretty f***ing stupid.

What a waste of talent.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Rich kid with more talent than brains.

I was kind of surprised Gusev did the same thing. I mean Hank wouldn't do it and the guy has made over 100M playing hockey.

Gotta do what you gotta do, sucks for the Rangers as they could use that money in the coming years as they build a contender (I think they’re better than what they’ve shown this year)

He might have a chance to snag a job at league minimum somewhere but he’s going to have a short leash

 

[RangerBoy]

Good riddance Antonio.

Isn’t his buyout cap hit like $350K?

 

[aufheben]

Nice so we’re gonna have six f***ing buyouts on the books?

I love this team, man.

 

[CDJ]

Isn’t his buyout cap hit like $350K?

oh shit, that’s practically nothing. Nvm then. No Brainer move for the rangers

Something like that. I can't wait to see how far the fall is off Mount Moralhighground when somebody's GM offers him a deal 15 seconds after the buyout. The fact is, world class athletes will always get a pass because winning is the only thing that matters. A coach or GM who loses doesn't keep their job because they took the high ground. They get fired in favor of someone who will do "whatever it takes to win".

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

his buyout will be cheap, at least. Still, losing him for nothing sucks.

 

[McSuper]

A NYR fan told me just the other day he wasn’t a cap dump . As an Oiler fan in the off season I would offer Koskinen . Let NYR expose Koskinen to Seattle. The Oilers can let Barrie walk opening up room for a goalie upgrade . NYR can buy out Koskinen after the expansion draft.
