Confirmed with Link: Rangers sign Tony DeAngelo [2Y/4.8M AAV] Mod post #120

[NYSPORTS]

Respect on the team friendly deals. Love it.

can’t tell if it’s a team friendly deal or a Covid market deal.

It’s great either way.

 

[Leetch3]

Not particularly worried about the QO considering there’s a more than likely chance the Rangers won’t be the ones paying it

well from that standpoint it could impact his trade value...I don't think his QO will but that potential was there before the deal was signed.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

NOICE. I was hoping for a bridge deal and the money is right.

Glad he's staying, he's the man.

Totally not sold on TDA I thought this was a great deal by the rangers

 

[Rempe73]

So...ADA “holding out” when he was offered an obviously-below-market deal last summer doesn’t indicate he’s a ball buster after all.

My suspicions are indeed verified. I really hope he sticks with the Rangers longterm. I think he’s a guy we can win with.

Haha exactly. I completely understand why he held out.

I mean, what more can you ask for? If you’re a hater (meaning the haters on Twitter), this has to make you realize that he’s, at the very least, a team player and not completely selfish.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I’m sure Tony is going personally thank each and every one of his loyal supporters in here letting everyone know how swell he is

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Rangers really got a great deal. Incredible trade bait and still an RFA afterwards. Can’t complain at all.

 

[Fitzy]

He’ll have 1 RFA year after this deal expires

Great move.

 

[Fitzy]

This was exactly what I wanted for the ADA play after hearing how bad the trade market was.

Kick the can down the road, see if Tony can maintain this play, improve his D, and play the left side. Either give him the long term extension at deals end, or trade him with RFA protection. Can’t lose

I think he's gone in 12 months time.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Should make it easier to trade him; could definitely see it speeding up the process.

 

[Kakko]

Legit surprised with this. Thought for sure this was going to arbitration, or MAYBE figuring out a questionable long term deal.

Progress!

Sorry for my ignorance but I’m really not understanding the negative thoughts (minority but still significant %) on this extension.

Yes, I can understand that Tony’s personal opinions may be controversial. However, he’s also a young man. I know that I have definitely evolved my perspective on politics and the world at large since I was a young adult.

The difference is that I didn’t have a platform like Tony. Fans want Players to be themselves and then a judgemental group vilify the player for doing so.

I may not agree with Tony on his world views. But again, he’s a young man and has a lot of room to mature.

I also recall that he was quick to defend K’Andre. To me that action speaks louder than anything.

Again, I love the extension even though I don’t really like the Rangers. Unfortunately your GM is making it harder to dislike your Team. Forecast is looking good.

Edit: Fine, I like your Team

 

[Inferno]

The big thing here is they got the deal done without actually going to arbitration.

That's...frikking huge. Because if they went, you know ada would have been trashed by the club...and that shit is never good.

Yeah I thought for sure this was going to arbitration

His agent must have talked some sense into him so they could avoid the arbitration unpleasantness

Three things.
1. Thank you for the kind words. I always appreciate this kind of stuff when it comes to my favorite player. And I cannot stress this enough, but I was a huge Tony fan long before I knew about his views or anything like that. Not that anyone cares.
2. What team are you a fan of? Come over to the dark side. You already said you like the team
And 3. Even though I happen to agree with most of his views (while you don’t, which is perfectly fine), what I don’t like is how he expresses them, but obviously he can do what he wants.

No TDA deal is questionable.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Tony just play solid defense. Kid has sky high potential

Well unfortunately for him he's going to partnered with Jack Johnson so out of the frying pan into the fryer when it comes to D-partners. PRAYING Hajek or Miller or someone can make the team.

1. You’re welcome. I appreciate being able to discuss Players with a knowledgeable fan base. You folks have been very welcoming to me since I became a Member.

2. Canucks fan since birth but as I’ve matured I’ve become a fan of Hockey in general. As an example, I was so excited for Buffalo signing Hall while being miserable with Vancouver not doing anything (until Schmidt thank f***ing God).

Yes, I’m planning to visit more often this coming season, if you folks are comfortable with it. If so.....

I totally agree.... I honestly do not see him putting up the same numbers next year (neither will Strome IMO).

 

[nyr2k2]

Neat. Good terms.

Haha good. Don’t leave us. We would love to have you, Mr. Ginger

I agree with you and I also went from being just a “Rangers fan” to a “hockey fan” whose favorite team is still the Rangers. Like you, I can appreciate good players and good GMing from other teams. I’m not a big Canucks fan though, so you’ll have to convince me to warm up to them lol. But anyways, I appreciate the kind words about us.

Also, I would love to have “liked” your post, but I can’t because you used the Lord’s name in vain
