Retaining on ADA is pointless since his buyout coat less. He is also the last player Ottawa wants

I think the point of this deal, from the Rangers' perspective, is to get someone dumb enough to fight Tom Wilson six times a year.

I'm writing it as if Ottawa will play Deangelo, because they have a history of giving second chances to offensive defensemen who can't find their own end with a map. And as for whether a team will take a guy who beat up his goalie, this would be the trade.

Ottawa has spent years trying to fix the culture in their room, and they finally have group that clearly likes each other, and want to win for each other. Adding a volatile asshole with a history of disrupting his own locker room puts that all in jeopardy, and the upside on DeAngelo is completely offset by the fact that he's abysmal defensively.

I mean, look who they'd be giving up, though. A volatile a*hole. With a history of disrupting his own home. If they like him, great. Too bad for the Rangers, though.
