TSN: [Seravalli] Tony DeAngelo has expressed interest in a loan to the AHL

[explore]

Insider Trading: Are the Leafs looking to make a move? - TSN.ca

Duthie: It’s been one month since the New York Rangers cut ties with Tony DeAngelo and so far no takers for a player whose career has been full of controversy, what’s next for him?

Seravalli: Tony DeAngelo has expressed interest in a loan to the American Hockey League. That’s what he let the Rangers know, that he’d like to get playing again, he’s been skating for the last month to this point on his own. He’s willing to accept a loan to any AHL franchise and I believe the Rangers are interested in facilitating that, but it would take someone else stepping up to do so. Because the Rangers have let him know he’s not welcome in Hartford, the ties have been cut with the entire Rangers organization to this point.

In all seriousness, would any fan base want DeAngelo around their young players?

Note: I don't mean Rags fans volunteering other fanbases to take on DeAngelo

Makes sense.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

He'd still get paid his NHL money in AHL?
Not familiar with his contract

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Would need to be a pretty veteran ahl squad to not be a distraction.

 

[Spirit of 67]

That's nice. Glad he feels he's calling the shots here.

He should be hopeful someone will let him wear a jersey.
Somewhere.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

His NHL career is over.

It's doubtful he makes more than the $9.6million he's owed sitting at home.


Probably best if he sits till the end of next year, and then tries the KHL in 2022-23.

 

[ownal]

Let the kid play or pay him his money due and let him go to the KHL.

wont they just buy him out?

 

[BatVader]

Plus the remainder of this season salary.

Wrong wrong wrong. He'll be back in the NHL next year.

Yes, with no escrow deducted, so he'd clear more.

He can play on a pairing with Slava Voynov.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

He can play on a pairing with Slava Voynov.

I’d take them both in NJ.

 

[Il Stugotz]

lol "kid"

He's 25. He only acts like a child.

 

[themelkman]

Pretty disgusting to compare the two. One is a jerk, the other assaulted his wife.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

I’d take them both in NJ.

I'm not saying he's not good enough to play in the NHL. He clearly is.

But optics means a lot to most teams.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Color me cynical, but how many other players are going to fall victim to skeletons in their closet, especially when their seasons start off poorly?

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Pretty disgusting to compare the two. One is a jerk, the other assaulted his wife.

I wouldn't say I'm comparing the two of them.

I'm saying they're both players no NHL team would want to go near in 2021 with social media being what it is.

What benefit is there to a team? This isn’t the nfl, with non guaranteed contracts.

 

[ownal]

lol "kid"

He's 25. He only acts like a child.

Your brain isn't even fully developed at that age. So yes, he is still a kid.

 

[Flyer lurker]

ADA earned 4.4m this year and whatever 1/3 buy out amount is next year. Invest well cause chances of ever playing in NHL aren't good.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Yes, with no escrow deducted, so he'd clear more.

Woof, has NYR said if they would buy him out at end of this yearor can they void his deal somehow?

 

[banks]

If I owned, managed, or coached a team I wouldn't let my players follow him on twitter, let alone let the guy into the dressing room as a teammate.

I hope he never plays another NHL game.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

If a team is interested in trading for DeAngelo accepting a loan to your AHL team is not a bad idea. You get to see for the rest of the season if he fits the system and if he can be a good team mate. If it goes poorly teams can cancel the loan. I assume the Rangers would continue to pay his salary while on loan?

 

[Mickey Marner]

Woof, has NYR said if they would buy him out at end of this yearor can they void his deal somehow?

If they had grounds to void his deal I think they would have already. Very likely he's bought out since it only costs 1/3 of his salary. They shouldn't have even qualified him last year if he was one incident away from banishment.
