DeAngelo Buyout Official
A saga that has lasted since February has come to a conclusion, with the Rangers officially buying the remaining of Tony DeAngelo’s contract, making him an unrestricted free agent able to sign with any team in the league. DeAngelo’s fate has been well known for some time, and it was just a matter of when […]
Kevin Over Colin
With lists due to the NHL by 5:00pm Eastern Saturday, and a trade freeze starting two hours before – and running until 1:00pm Thursday – the Rangers were about to give us the first clues as to what might happen this offseason. The re-signing of both Julien Gauthier and Brett Howden prior to the deadline suggested that the Rangers […]
Rangers Expected To Buyout DeAngelo
The Rangers may have changed management and coaching staff, but the expectation that the Rangers will buy out defenseman Tony DeAngelo from his final contract year remain. Suspended since an altercation with goaltender Alexandar Georgiev on January 31st, following a 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins, in which the pair had a mix-up that lead to the […]
Ten In
After ten games, the Rangers sit at 10 points, with a 4-4-2 record, largely on the back of a 3-0-1 streak that has seen them overcome a slow start. After a clunker to open the season agains the Islanders, where they simply weren’t prepared in a 4-0 loss, the Rangers stormed back to reverse the […]
DeAngelo Situation Nearing Resolution
There’s a lot of words that can describe Tony DeAngelo, gifted, outspoken and passionate amongst them. In the relatively vanilla world of hockey, where players are coached on how to talk to reporters, and avoid saying almost anything, the 25 year old New Jersey native stands out. Whether it be his much talked about support […]
Let’s Hold Off On Jumping Off That Bridge Just Yet
Six games in and the Rangers are 1-4-1, having lost four straight, all by one goal. They’re 1-7-1 since the COVID pandemic hit, including the three game sweep by the Carolina Hurricanes in the play-in round last August. All of those games played in stadiums without fans. It’s easy to get down on the team […]
A Winning Combination
Tomorrow night’s game against the Devils will feature the same line-up that defeated the New York Islanders 5-0 on Saturday. That means that Tony DeAngelo will again sit out, though he at least got to practice with the big team today. When asked, David Quinn said he was no longing holding out DeAngelo to send […]
The Team Is Kind Of The Same
If you look at the team that lost 0-3 in the qualifying round back in August, you would see just a handful of changes. Gone are the two longest tenured Rangers in Henrik Lundqvist (buy-out) and Marc Staal (trade), as well as the fourth longest in Jesper Fast (free agency). Also moving on are Greg McKegg and Micheal Haley, as well as depth players Cristoval […]
DeAngelo And Georgiev Sign Two-Year Deals
And just like that, the Rangers sign two of their four main RFAs – apologies to Darren Raddysh – and both for reasonable two year contracts. Sure they’re both a little on the high side, but with the shorter term and speed at which they got done, you can expect a little inflation. Discuss in the forums: Georgiev […]
Free Agency Opens Up Tomorrow
Friday October 12th at 12pm Eastern marks the opening up of the Free Agency period, and the Rangers are still looking to make some changes to their roster. While the second center position remains one of the areas of focus, the Rangers now have to look at options for addressing their short term needs on […]
