LA needs a player like him and he’s friends with Lemieux.

He got ejected from the team despite "funny guy" for getting into a fight with the backup goalie as a top4D. If it was anything but something major, Georgiev would be the one shown the door every time.
Being the funniest guy in the room for PR videos and being a good teammate are two different things.
That someone of his skill got traded for no hockey reason 2 times soon to be 3 (if you count the incoming buyout) should tell you enough how "good" he is of a teammate. He can still be an horrible teammate even if some POC like him.

Yeah, that's the funny thing to me when people whine about "cancel culture" when it comes to DeAngelo. Dude has already been run out of 3 organizations at this point. At what point do we put the onus on him for being a piece of shit instead of blaming everyone else except for him?

Because Oiler fans are much more progressive? I know just as many racist conservative Oiler fans as Flames fans

That’s the thing. Nobody was touching him at 4.85m.
That’s going to change when the Rangers eventually buy him out and he’s taking deals for 1m or less.
Hockey is a business.

I don't disagree with your post, but it doesn't change my post either.......Jets wouldn't take him at any cost IMO. He likely is a better fit in some smaller hockey market in the USA where hockey isn't front page news on a daily basis then in any fishbowl Canadian market.
Should go to Buffalo along with John Tortorella. Eichel and the rest stays. Torts should build a team that everyone quit on. Renegades that if don't play together or for each other will place their careers in the bins of history. I'll watch a team like that.
Rangers will take Galant who actually is a bad and overrated coach, Buffalo would naturally end up with Torts who likes a challenge. No rebuilds, no retool (this was tried for 10 years). Final shot at a dirty dozen team together. It can only go up from here. On paper those are super talented players, they just need someone to make them forget the losing culture.

You can say that all you’d like. The fact of the matter is we don’t know what front offices would or wouldn’t take him, aside from Arizona and TBL, because he’d be a re-tread in those two locations.
We think we know, but we don’t.

Well of course.......that's why I said IMO and how this is a fan forum. OP asked for opinions, that's what I gave based on knowing the franchise, knowing the owner views, the carefully constructed teams image around human rights, its actions in the past, actions it still takes around human rights and the politics of the team's core........Ill say again IMO based on those factors Jets wouldn't touch him with a 10' pole if he was free. He would be a PR nightmare and an issue in the locker room.......IMO based on all my points above, following the Jets 1.0 & 2.0 since both were born and living in the city/province for 50+ years & knowing its political views & consertive nature. But by all means, you believe whatever you like.

This is the correct take.
The question is whether or not there is currently a team out there that
a) needs a cheap, offensive RHD really bad
b) has the leadership to wrangle somebody as volatile and unpredictable (both on and off the ice) as Tony
Right now, nobody is jumping out at me. Boston? Tampa? But the Bolts already gave up on him once.

New contract for one year. My answer is no. 
New contract for three years - for about $ 6,000,000 ($ 2,000,000 - AAV)
Lack of NMC. My answer is yes.

What does that have to do with anything, I would never make any projections like that. Flames need an RD with Giordano aging so the management might as well get him if he is available. The flames leadership group can sort it out.

No for Edmonton. Our core is young and we have Bouchard coming so we aren’t in dire need of an offensive RD.
The only possible fit for DeAngelo is a strong core veteran lead team that will keep him in line and he won’t be able to influence the young guys and that club would need to have a huge need for an offensive D.

If Buffalel holds Eichel, Reinhart, and Risto hostage while bringing in even one of Tortorella or ADA (let alone both), then the player's union should file some type of grievance against that franchise.

Tony not so much the Angel, is not worth the roster spot, yes he can play in the top 4, yes he's very skilled but he just keeps proving he's poison over and over again, and I kind of feel the same way about Eichel but for slightly different reasons, I wouldn't want either one of them anywhere near the Leafs room.
most likely scenario is he is bought out
and is ostracized for 1 yr min by rest of the league to teach him an effin lesson
having said that,
and that aside,
on paper
Nolan Patrick 1:1 bring hometown ADA back to Philly makes sense
IF IF IF
NP medicals could be controlled, that would be different
but apparently not
so

Why else would an Oiler fan suggest the Flames sign a racist piece of shit they don't need?
Giordano is a LHD, We have Tanev and Andersson on the right side.
If Barrie does walk, DeAngelo could be a shrewd add at a bargain basement price. Nurse played his final junior season with DeAngelo, so he's probably got a pretty good idea of the kind of teammate he is.
Putting Bouchard in a position to fill the role left by Barrie is how you set that prospect up for failure in a similar way that Puljujarvi was expected to pick up some of the offense left by Hall's departure. It's just a bad way of developing your prospects.
DeAngelo put up similar production as Barrie did this season playing the majority of his minutes next to Marc Staal.
Yes I know Gio is a LD, DeAngelo would be your best RHD, immediately slide up to the #1 spot and would be the Gio replacement especially offensively. Tanev would stay as your #3 and Andersson belongs on the bottom pairing, I’ve never been impressed with him.

Yes. Yes I would
I do think he’s a great person deep down. He’s done a lot of great things that nobody talks about. I would want him to get some sort of psychological help first though and be the person (and player) he was last season. If he does, whichever team gets to sign him is going to go places (maybe even win the Cup if they are a top 10 team in the league right now). But DeAngelo obviously needs to chill out and get help first.

It's all so tiresome
Tony D in the offensive zone at the same time as McDavid and Draisaitl would be disgusting. As long as he doesn't lose his mind that would be a great fit.
Rabid Ranger
2 is better than one
Obviously drama follows this guy but it's safe to say the current political climate played a part in his demise with the Rangers. Everyone is on eggshells. I'm not excusing his missteps in the past but not sure he would have been shown the door even two seasons ago.
