There are some contracts that can't be terminated?
Quoting: AndrewLadd
Which he wouldn’t do cuz I suspect Tony D wants his money
I actually had a really good idea for a Deangelo trade hear me out
NYR want another Center and have a Dman causing problems (Deangelo)
Ottawa has a center who wants to back to America, wants to get its pick back, and has the space to buy him out, but I say use him as lets face it Mike Rielly really should not be on unit 2
my proposal
Ottawa Senators
Derek Stephan (50%) retained to Rangers
New York 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 its 2nd round pick back (in a sense), a usable offensive Dman, and lets Stephan go back to America
Plus Stephan could help Laf get going and allow for Strome to be moved to the wing
