Player Discussion Tony DeAngelo: Part III

[offdacrossbar]

I think his buddy Huffnagle might be heading to Oswego College since their season starts in about a month.

really good D3 program about 30 miles north of me.

and also my sons alma mater.

nice SUNY school on the shores of lake ontario

 

[McRanger]

Succeeded at what?

Lol edited for clarification.

I'm not trying to be a dick, I just dont see how something that has never happened can be used as evidence of anything. Sure RFAs probably should be signed by competitors frequently but they're not, and guys like ADA are never signed. It just doesn't happen.




When? Ron Tugnutt in 1996? Does signing a veteran goalie over a decade before the cap era count?

No offense taken. I don't mean to be argumentative either, just saying that whether or not it has happened or does happen frequently, teams can sign him easily if they think he's worth the money. Yes, there are probably other reasons people aren't offersheeting him, the same reasons you're referencing when you say there must be reasons this almost never happens. People don't want to start a grudge with another GM, generally players who can be offer sheeted without compensation aren't really worth pursuing aggressively, etc. I just think that if the player is way worth it and the OS can be completed fairly cheaply, teams would very, very likely do it.

Fox, Keane, and Smith are training with Panarin, Zibanejad, and Kakko. DeAngelo is training with an NCAA D3 program. This is going swimmingly well for Tony.

lol

im sure ADA is training in phily or jersey. sounds like his training buddy is off to school

hes no where near oswego ny- although its a great little town. great salmon and trout fishing up that way, some terrific apple picking right now with a place near there that has the best apple fritters I've ever had and some of the best sunsets on earth.

also the hometown of erik cole

lots of snow too for those who ride snowmobiles like me !!

The issue is it doesn't sound like Tony stepped one foot in Connecticut to train with Ben Prentiss.

The Rangers players started together as a group in late August. Tony was nowhere to be found. He shows up the day before camp is supposed to start and then leaves again. Lemieux was here.

So many of the Rangers players and prospects trained at the Prentiss facility. Kravtsov spent his entire summer there. Lundkvist trained there. Andersson. Chytil. Zibanejad got off a plane from Sweden and next day he was pictured at Prentiss working out with the Rangers players. Kreider.

I read this a few days ago.

Keane spent most of the summer in Connecticut and trained with Ben Prentiss, who works with many of the Rangers to get them into top shape. Keane did a lot of work in the weight room and worked on his skating speed.

“That was unbelievable,’’ he said. “A great opportunity to be able to be around the pro guys again and just kind of see how that works. And yeah, my goal is to get stronger. And that’s what the Rangers told me I had to do. And I did get stronger.'’

Rangers keen on prospect Joey Keane

The guys are all skating together and Tony is nowhere to be found. Players are training with Prentiss. It doesn't like Tony spent one day with Prentiss.

Management pays attention to this stuff.

 

[offdacrossbar]

keane just turned 20 with a total of zero nhl games played. he needs prentiss. hes a rookie hello ??? hes trying to make the team as a rook- he wont btw, ADA was slated to be the 2RD and PP guy he wasnt fighting to make the team as an extra.

joey keane @ 925k
adam fox @ 925k

ADA @ 925k

somethings wrong there.

you offer ADA the same deal but for 1 yr that you offer fox and keane who have a total of ZERO nhl games between them

and expect ADA to play 2nd pair minutes with a traffic cone like marc staal as his partner for 925k ??

really and then when he doesn't show up to train but trains on his own that somehow his failing to do something ? he. has. no. contract...

management should pay attention to more stuff like handing out contracts to smith and staal and not being able to move extra average pieces like strome and names even for a draft pick. failure.

he signed trouba and panarin and bought out shatty and screwed the pooch so he cant even resign his best offensive dman for more than rookie max.

after trouba there is NOTHING proven on the right side. nothing.

what a joke

 

[Inferno]

Does anyone actually think that Ada is out of shape? Slow? Weak? Physically unable to play in the NHL?

Anyone?

Whoever he trains with is doing their job then... It may be someone he's trained with for 15 years or something.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Pay him his f***ing money and lets move on. Why are we f***ing around with a high potential offensive defenseman in the middle of a rebuild? So stupid.

We broke.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I just don't get why this is so hard to understand!

Would a literal pie chart help? The pie has been eaten, there's like a bite and a half left... he can eat that bite or he can starve.

THERE'S NO MORE PIE FOR HIM

That’s JGs fault. He had all summer to figure it out.

So now Ada has to get underpaid? This is a JG problem that he created.

Plenty of established NYR players train with Prentiss. It's not something for rookies and it has nothing to do with what someone's contract status is. I don't think him training with Prentiss or training on his own makes much of a difference but it's just factually unrelated to if someone is a rookie or if someone has a new contract.

 

[haveandare]

That’s JGs fault. He had all summer to figure it out.

It's literally the rules of the CBA. Gorton didn't invent them or force ADA to play under them. Tony can only take a contract with one team. That team only has to offer him he QO. Period. It's not some mistake or oversight or problem they created. The rules are what they are, both parties agreed to them, this is what they mean in practice.

 

[Hire Sather]

Sounds like something the player has to deal with.

He's got no other choices.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

TDA may very well end up just taking the QO if the Rangers truly just stick to their guns, but just hope the Rangers don't expect him to do them any favors going forward.

But he follows Brady Skjei’s Rottweiler Instagram account. He’s not a cancer.

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

Players generally earn their contracts. Outside of a good two month stint, what exactly has Deangelo earned? Why would any team commit years to a guy that can't keep his shit together long enough to not get benched, in a contract year??

What are you talking about? Lol

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

What has Deangelo done in his career to warrant more dollars and years than what the Rangers are currently offering him?

 

[offdacrossbar]

ADA will eventually sign and come ready to play

it will be either the QO or a slight raise to say 1.2 mil

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Except no one knows what he's really seeking.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Wait, do you have info that nobody else does? Or you're just spewing stuff you have no idea about?

 

[Bill Sergio]

I think ADA should be traded. He has proved NOTHING in this league. He is risking all the progress he started to make under Quinn by holding out and not accepting his QO. The Rangers should just trade him and move on.

 

[Deleted member 23124]

As I've stated before, it's not like the team is going to fall apart if he doesn't accept. All the "potential" in the world means nothing.
