D’Angelo on waivers

Should have sold high on him when they had the chance.

 

Rumor on Twitter is D’Angelo got into some kind of postgame altercation with zibamejad! That will do it

 

WTF?

 

Rumor now it was an actual fight. Would explain the sudden jettisoning him on waivers.

 

For christ's sake.

 

I’m sure more on it will come out as the day goes on as to what actually happenned

 

Oh boy.

 

I said to deal him in the off-season but all the boards were like no. Lundkvist isn't proven. Major fuck up by JD and Gorton. I hope it wasn't a racist thing with Miller. That would pretty much end his career. When you drafted Schneider and had Lundkvist, they absolutely should have traded him in the off-season. Guess we will see Schneider up here for sure now. Of course with retard Quinn he will put Smith on the right and shitty Johnson on the left.

Still don't believe he didn't have good value before whatever he just did. If he got in a fight with Zibanejad, forget it. He's fucked.

 

Yeah, definitely a worst case scenario for the Rangers. Should he get claimed off waivers what are the cap implications?

*Edit* OK, not WORST case but, a bad situation for them.

 

I saw something that apparently he was giving Georgiev a hard time about the OT goal and something happened with Kreider.

 

Shame. This guys attitude always comes up to bite him. He has a lot of talent, but it doesn't matter when you have a bad attitude and cannot be a good teammate.

As for an offseason trade, everything you saw was they tried to deal DeAngelo and Strome, but the value wasn't there. I have faith in Gorton/JD, so I'll believe that was the case.

If he gets claimed and his whole cap hit goes with him, not the end of the world. So let's see how it plays out.

 

Maybe this will serve as a bit of a wake up call for him but most likely not.

 

1:45 p.m.: The Athletic’s Rick Carpiniello (subscription required) reports that an incident between DeAngelo and Rangers’ goaltender Alexandar Georgiev that occurred immediately after the team’s 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins Saturday is the cause for DeAngelo being placed on waivers.

The scribe reports that three sources confirmed that the two players got into it in the tunnel on the way to the Rangers’ locker room. The altercation was quickly broken up and Georgiev was given a maintenance day Sunday due to the incident. The Rangers neither confirmed or denied the altercation.

1:00 p.m.: The Associated Press’ Steven Whyno talked to Rangers’ coach David Quinn after the move to put DeAngelo on waivers:

 

Good get 71.

 

Arrivederci Tony! The Rangers just got better but he was a terrible resign. Tiny Tony has a lot of nerve popping off after he failed to clear the puck before Crosby scored. This season just keeps getting better.

 

Sounds like it was sparked by the miscommunication between the two that happened right before the winning goal. Can't have that, so something needed to be done. Good for the Rangers to act quickly. What I am curious of is what they do if he's unclaimed. I'd guess send him to the AHL?

 

I definately think this will make them look even more at a Dunn trade, but i want to see more of Hajek/Reunanen also. Don't see Lundkvist being rushed over during this odd season, and Schneider isn't near ready.

 

You have no idea if Schneider is near ready. You've never seen him play one practice or anything to do with the team. I didn't think Miller was going to be ready for 1 1/2 years.

 

I think Schneider would be better that what we have now(who wouldn’t be). And if not he gets his seasoning. Part 2 of the D’Angelo altercation rumor is Kreids stepped in and punched D’Angelo in the face. If true, make Kreids the captain immediately and the FIRE THAT IDIOT QUIN !

 

DeAngelo has always been a bit of a mental case but this is a sign of a coach losing the team. Schneider like Lafreniere is really mature. I'd like to see him get his chance now.
