Getting Stepan for a 2nd round pick was a terrible move. Should have figured out he didn't want to play in Canada before the trade... Dorian has terrible asset management.
I actually had a really good idea for a Stephan trade hear me out
NYR want another Center and have a Dman causing problems (Deangelo)
my proposal
Derek Stephan (50%) retained to Rangers
Tony Deangelo (1mill retained) to Ottawa along with
2022 2nd round pick
Now before we go nobody wants Deangelo hear me out. He cleared Waivers so Ottawa can keep him on the Taxi Squad, send him to Bellville or give him a shot on the main rooster, and if he doesnt workout they can buy him out. Now I hear yah, why hes gonna be expensive, actually no. Deangelos buyout is actually really cheap. (1.3mill year 1, 300k year 2, and for 2 more years 800k). Wont Impact the sens in the future and they got 3 2nd round picks in 2022 to use in a trade or draft top talent.
In general this trade gets Ottawa a 2nd round pick, a usable offensive Dman, and lets Stephan go back to America
