I am no fan of that whole org on the other side of the Hudson but why are those 2 out? And honestly it only backs my point up more!Two out of your three are out of a job.....

Someone is going to give him a 1 yr 1 mill show me deal. By all accounts most of his teammates loved him in the room and on the ice. I’m sure there are a couple that didn’t like him as in any job. Problem with him was he went against management when he was told multiple times to stop. That was the beginning of the end for tony. The tweeting and his radio show just fanned the flames. But to say he wouldn’t improve a teams offense and PP from the blue line is a flat out lie. On talent alone he’s one of the best offensive D in the business.Jets need a top 4 RHD, but no chance the team would touch him with a 10’ pole and I don’t blame them. Hard pass
That’s because most people rush to judgement of unsubstantiated lies rather then taking the time to know the facts of what really happened. They choose to run with what some blogger with an agenda would post rather then getting to the bottom of the storyIrony about how people talk about what a trash teammate he is....multiple people in the game say he’s actually a very popular teammate, and that he’s very passionate about the game. No one has said he’s a racist. He has used homophobic slurs, which is where he got in a lot of trouble early on.
If you have a strong locker room, he could be a solid addition.
I have no idea what he says on his podcasts. I’m assuming he is a santinist cultist, supporter in ISIS or against woman’s rights for all these people to be bashing his views. Kindve sad if people are bashing him because he’s Pro union/Pipeline and voted trump. But anyway this is a hockey site no idea what his irrelevant podcast that no one watches has anything to do with hockey or his teammates. I’d bet no one on the Rangers ever listened to one of his pod casts.
The fact the the habs wanted him at the deadline already proved this. They just didn’t want him at his current salary knowing next year the can get him for a quarter of the cash they could nowSaid it before and I will say it again he will get signed because morals mean NOTHING in sports, Antonio Brown has proven that.
like it or not talent is all that matters and this guy has to much talent to not get an opportunity

He was also a plus player with the shell of Marc Staal as a partner. That’s no easy feat. In the right locker room and right environment with good leaders he for sure makes your team better. That’s the type of team that needs to take a chance on him. I think he realizes this is probably last stop before playing in Russia so I’d think he’d be on his best behavior as well. Just food for thought
Yep. It’s going to be like Shattenkirk signing for the minimum and playing well. Tony already got his 10 million. Is next contract will be 1 to 1.5 tops.. if he does well there I’m sure someone will want his talents for longer. He needs to be a pro and keep his mouth shut though. 1 more incident and he’s KHL boundAgreed, and the Jets seemingly have a very good locker room (though, they do tend to excise players that don’t fit).
If it’s a year/$1M gig, Jets should be all over this.
This from a Pens fan who sign players like Matt Cooke and Billy Tibbetts nice.......Take out his political views for a second. He's the kind of guy that's going to shit talk teammates for making mistakes and then will fight them after games. He's the kind of guy that gets suspended for using slurs against his own teammates. He's the kind of guy who talks shit on his team using burner accounts when things aren't going his way.
His political views are irrelevant to him being a generally repulsive person overall, from everything we know about him.
He is a goodplayerwinger
Yes.
One of the best offensive dmen in the league and plays with more edge than nearly anyone else whose of similar caliber skill-wise. Doesn't take very much research to find out that the incident in junior was him cracking a joke about a fellow White teammate being a soft Euro, even though many politically motivated hacks run with the narrative that he's some racist bully. Or to find out the fact that he's still good friends with practically every POC he's ever played with and interacts with them all the time on social media (Josh Ho-Sang, Justin Bailey, Anthony Duclair, Caleb Jones, Seth Jones, etc). Or to find out he was unanimously voted the funniest guy on the team, that according to anyone in the know: all of his former teammates say they loved playing with him. He was even the guy they chose to replace Stepan as the guy on the Mic for doing their fun locker room videos.
There is a narrative pushed about him on social media by people who with one click of their profile you can very quickly determine what their motivation is. Yea there are a few stories that can make you think he's a loudmouth/dick, but this is professional sports, there are TONS of loud mouths/dicks. And there are athletes who have ton FAR more heinous things than DeAngelo who don't get 1/10th of the vitriol.
BTW if anyone still believed that stealing the puck from K'Andre Miller story: that has been verified as false by every person involved, and K'Andre Miller and DeAngelo were actually texting with each other after this all happened, still follow each other on Instagram and like each others pictures as well. DeAngelo was one of the first & only players to stand up for Miller after the Zoom incident. As soon as Miller scored his first NHL Goal, DeAngelo immediately skated to the net to grab it. It was as if he wanted to do that for him specifically to show him that reputation he had isn't true and that he's got his back. Unfortunately a nice gesture got turned into a BS narrative by a political hack by the name of Adam Herman.
Not even that true. He’s better or on the same level as other purely offensive players. His defensive ability was never an issue among Rangers fans until he started getting super political on Twitter which is when everyone started grasping at straws to bring him down as a player. And he’s much more physical than any other purely offensive defenseman in the league and has done very well in fights. See him one punch KO’ing Okposo or him destroying Bastian who has a couple inches on him. He’s significantly better all around than someone like Barrie, EK65, or prime Shattenkirk. I’m not saying he’s good defensively, but he’s not even as close to as bad defensively as he’s made up to be and more than makes up for it with his offense and his physicality. It’s not like his defense is bad enough to negate his overall impacthis ability to defend is borderline non-existent
I think the Red Wings could get him to calm it down. I also don’t buy into the idea they are set at RD just because they have Hronek and Seider either though so I wouldn’t mind it. They got cap. If he acts out or doesn’t work out do the same thing the Rangers did. He does have talent
Other than bullying Laine out of town...Agreed, and the Jets seemingly have a very good locker room (though, they do tend to excise players that don’t fit).
