Confirmed with Link: TDA -1m, 1 year

[Negan4Coach]

Then use your own! I’ve had a Ragu in my life, for better or worse since I was a kid. Pretty natural fit for me.

"Mr. Negan, what were the various derogatory terms you and your friends used to describe people with last names similar to Mr. Deangelo while growing up on Long Island?"

<tap> <tap> "Uh..I'm gonna take the 5th on that one...and pretty much anything else youse guys have to ask"

And neither of them knock each other out over it. Funny to think how they went from friendly teammates to Jerry Springer.

I know people are using the “teammates laughed about it and mocked it afterwards” as evidence that he became the laughingstock of the room and whatever, but I know with my friends, we generally laugh about things that are water under the bridge and are serious about things that are more significant.

Occam’s razor to me would suggest that teammates mocking the incident means it was something everyone was laughing about a few days later in the room, it just also flew in the face of the zero-tolerance policy and Gorton felt he had to be a man of his word.

I worked with this dude about 20 years ago and we called him "OG"

What he didn't know was that, before he even showed up to work for the first day, we had already decided that "OG" stood for Olive Garden

Poor bastard

There's a lot of guys in both organizations would have played for both Carolina and the rangers.

Skeij
Mckegg
Fast
PDG
Smith

I would assume that the Canes most likely asked each of these individuals what they thought of TDA.


Does anybody think he would be here if Brady and Fast had negative things to say s out him??

Skjei is CHAOTIC NEUTRAL (sometimes good) on ice. If he’s anything like that off the ice he might have just screamed “FINGERBANG” on top of his lungs when asked about DeAngelo.

bang-bang-bang!

*laughs in Bill Peters*

 

[BullCityCaniac]

Dougie got traded from those cities

He chose to not play for us.

Big difference

There's also the fact that Boston sports fans hate everything.

Since I don't get the local channels anymore for the games, has Kenetico gotten a new sponsor from the Canes yet after Forslund?

(simultaneously shakes fist/claps hands in regards to ADA signing)

 

[tarheelhockey]

Skjei is CHAOTIC NEUTRAL

Damn, I feel like we could do this for the whole team.

	Lawful	Neutral	Chaotic
Good	74	11	48
Neutral	22	71	76
Evil	20	37	77

[LakeLivin]

Well I’m not trying to create more divide in here about this. I do think it’s important if he’s going to play for us this year we acknowledge the full picture of the guy. Those who would be supportive should accept why people would be so strongly against him and people that really hate him should try to learn that this guy is pretty human, flaws and all.

I mean it’s really hard to imagine this guy quiet in the corner of the locker room no matter how up against the wall his career is. The team won’t be able to avoid him, we won’t be able to avoid him....comes down to how he can learn from his past.

Gtf outta here! You're trying to tell me that there may be a middle ground somewhere between TDA is evil and TDA is being unfairly picked on by haters? I'm not buying it!

Checks out. The offersheet business was perfectly lawful and perfectly evil.

He has the highest snark/60 on the team IMO

 

[MinJaBen]

Even if tda gets a 3 or 4 year deal, it will be in the 4 mil range if he puts up 60. I'll take 60 points a year and honey badger mode over 9 mil a year Dougie

Holy Front Office Valuations Batman!!! You think if he puts up a 60 point season keeping his nose clean that all he get is $4 million?!? Are you Tom Dundon?

The blue check mark journalists on the twitter are driving his value down, clearly.

 

[Borsig]

His contract in NY was only 4.6? Id say yeah - 4-4.5

Maybe. But you never know. Scoring 60 points and the Canes already took the PR hit and rehabilitated his career? Would not be surprised for a bottom feeder to pay him at least 6-7 million per, maybe not long term though.

 

[spockBokk]

If the dude scores 60pts while not imploding the team/season, he’ll certainly be worth $5M+. The fact he’ll be an RFA next summer certainly works in the Canes’ favor. I personally think he’ll end up around 35-45pts and the Canes will give him a Barrie-like deal for 2-3yrs next summer. I also am making the assumption he doesn’t revert to being an idiot. (I think RBA and the ex-Ranger gang should be able to keep him in line)

 

[Chrispy]

DeAngelo would also be arbitration eligible next year. Which brings up an interesting question: can his off ice behavior even be brought up in arbitration? If not, it’s likely he ends up with a very high reward based on his 19-20 and a good 21-22.

Looks to me... I don't know:

CBA 12.9 (g)(ii)

"The parties may offer evidence of the following:

(E) any special qualities of leadership or public appeal not inconsistent with the fulfillment of his responsibilities as a playing member of his team; "

 

[Anton Babchuk]

His contract in NY was only 4.6? Id say yeah - 4-4.5

it was $4.8m, and he only had really one high-end season at that point. if he has another he'll be in the line for at least $5m in arbitration.
