dude you cant say it's "not true" if you yourself dont know the truth. The rangers are in full on damage control mode to try and get this guy off their roster as fast as possible and they cant even get their story straight. Deangelo is on the record as being racist, he spent all last year up until the election spouting racist dogwhistles on twitter before he freaked out and deleted his account because trump lost.
More evidence points towards him being racist than does not and because the Rangers say he isnt doesnt mean he isnt.

I said wait for the truth. Today I said 'not true' because everyone involved has said it's ....NOT TRUE.

Deangelo had a history in juniors. Fully documented. But how is that relevant to him complaining about being scratched? It's not. These things have nothing to do with each other.

There are some people that want his scalp because of his politics...so a story about racial abuse/K'andre Miller was made up to pile on.

It is wrong. Everything about it is wrong.

I heard he doesn't like communists ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

we have all the truth we need. the exact details are immaterial. People want his scalp because he's a terrible person with a long line of evidence showing he is a terrible person, and the fact that you keep saying that the racial thing was made up despite your own supposed desire to "wait for the truth" is pretty telling. You're obviously looking for an excuse to shift the blame off Deangelo for being awful.

"we have all the truth we need. the exact details are immaterial" (Pls spare me, then, on the accusations that I have trouble with truth)

I don't like Deangelo. I am a Devils fan who opposed Trump. I have no reason to like him.

On the fake Miller story...the team, the players, the agent, and about a dozen other reporters have come out to say that it was not true. John Davidson's statement was "100% false".

sure thing bud, sure thing. You keep looking for that excuse. They cant even get their story straight but clearly it's "100% false"

no one wants him

Taking a step back and looking at it from a different angle. This was very smart on the Rangers part they got him through waivers when no one was willing to take the risk. I don't think he gets moved this season. Look at Andersson they kept him in the minors for a while and just recently got a 2nd for him. Once this all fades away they will be able to trade him.

I think the most likely outcome at this point is ADA sits the rest of the season and possibly next season. Though I think someone would likely take a chance on him next year if the Rangers retain salary.

Train him? Think they are going to trade him.

Why wouldn’t they just buy him out. It’s a cheap buyout after this year.

Really a type o??

This is the right take. The Rangers choices will be if they can get someone to take him that it makes more sense to move than to buy him out.

Someone will end up taking him but the Rangers are going to end up retaining 50% of the contract. Teams with strong leadership group and a coach who doesn’t put up with BS might give it a crack. His political views shouldn’t be the things steering teams away that would be dumb. His character issues are what the problem is.

Pretty harsh opinion there...at this point there is lots of speculation- but very little information as to what exactly got a 4.8M player put on waivers following an altercation after a bad loss...if it comes out that he was a bad team mate- then I guess he deserves it- but so far no confirmation of such. Angry with being benched following the addl penalty for yelling at the ref and slamming the door to the penalty box? Gimme a break- if this coach handed out discipline for bad penalties- many of his "teachers pets" would be in the press box- but he does not hold guys like Howden, Strome, JJ, Staal (of course last year) to the same standard that he has held others to...Lias comes to mind...Kravtsov was badly mishandled...ADA has (had) a short leash...Gautier is currently getting mistreated...in the end- unless something happened (which we're currently aware of)...Jeff Gorton set the Rangers up to get fleeced...You may not like ADA...or his political views (which he is entitled to)...but whoever gets ADA is going to get an offensively elite Dman- who...if he finds a little bit better defensive game- will be an absolute stud

Its not harsh at all, hes a racist,homophobic, covid denying, conspiracy dummy who has already ran himself off 3 nhl teams.
And thats even without talking about who he voted for.
As far as hockey alone goes, hes horrific defensively like bottom of the league bad, and has had one great year offensively.
He sucks as a person and isnt near as good at hockey as people pretend

ADA has been part of the NYR organization for almost four years and has been given every opportunity to prove himself. Last year, he had a career season offensively, but he was still terrible defensively. We don't know how many incidents there were, that's true, but I'd imagine quite a few because of how Quinn and Gorton mentioned it being the last straw. You don't just kick a guy off a team for nothing, and especially not for his political views. You kick him off the team when he becomes toxic to your locker room.

ADA was never a good defenseman, only a good powerplay QB and point scorer. That simply doesn't cut it for defensemen in this league anymore - frankly, he never should've been given his $4.8 million contract, even if it is a bridge contract that expires next year.

ADA is a garbage player and a garbage teammate. Anyone making this about his politics - whether in defense or in opposition of him - is missing the point.

To permanently brand someone as racist or homophobic based on 2 incidents- for which he was disciplined- which occurred when he was 18 or 19 yo is a bit unfair. And I'm aware of his record but have never heard specifics as to what his behavior involved.

As far as mentioning him as bottom of the league bad defensively...for sure he's had defensive issues going back to when he was drafted...but the O he provides does make him worth the gamble to turn the corner a bit defensively...but his defensive woes aren't helped by playing him with Staal or Jack Johnson.

As far as your "covid denying, conspiracy dummy" comment...I think you show your cards here in that your disagreement with his politics solidifies any and every connotation of him as a terrible human being.

FWIW- I'm sure I come off here as an ADA defender...but I do acknowledge he's not the brightest bulb- I mean probably not a good idea to get involved in the highly toxic and emotional topic of politics...and definitely a dumb idea to challenge a fan to a fight. And further- he might just be a bad guy and/or a bad locker room presence...but until I see concrete evidence of either I will withhold judgement there.

The one constant:

If you see what I posted as a defense for him then so be it...if you have any further information on him I will certainly consider it- saying I withhold judgement is just that...for now, though- being angry about being benched (while JJ and Howden continually play ineptly), slamming the door "hard" to the penalty box, and getting into a scrum following a bad loss...all are hardly reasons to banish him to Siberia....there has to be much more to it.
