Minnesota Philly LA all decline

Cannot imagine Minnesota declines that offer

Wild easily decline that offer.

Nobody wants DeAngelo.

Are they insane?

ADeA an elite offensive young RFA D who drives play
That 1st could easily be in the lottery 20th at worst
Reunanen top 10 in the AHL in points per game rn
Dumba isn't elite offensively or possession wise
Dumba a UFA-3

DerpAngelo isn't *that* much of a distraction and a low key market like Minnesota is perfect for him

Like seriously folks 🙄

They should though

All he needs: low key franchise where he can mature

Then everything is elite point producing gravy

Sure as hell theyre stacked now

Umm... what?

1) Where do you actually get off thinking Minnesota is Low-key? We're the farthest thing from it.

Ignored because of our mediocrity for so long, sure. Flyover Country because of where we are regionally, you betcha.

But here's a newsflash.

We're like the 12th highest gross population out of 51 states in the US. The 3rd largest market in our regular Central Division behind only Chicago and Dallas, which means we're also a larger market than either St. Louis, Nashville, and Colorado. We breath hockey like Texas breaths Football. Our state high school hockey tournaments are on a similar level to those for Texas football tournaments, and outside of Canada, we're easily the most hockey centric culture there is.

Name me another state that has 5 Division-1 college hockey programs.

OR

How about the little fact that a little over a quarter of all current US born NHL players are from Minnesota. That's the highest percentage of any state in the US.

Just because we're ignored nationally, doesn't mean we're necessarily a low-key team or that our fanbase would accept or want a trash human being. Because ADA isn't a distraction, he's a locker room cancer, and a pretty big one at that. Furthermore, this isn't about maturity either, as he's already 25 years old... he is who he is at this point, a grown ass man whose shown and proven himself to be an absolute ass hat. It's about who he is, and what he is... And at this point that's not going to change or pull a 180, a person's personality is fully developed by the age of 20.

2) Dumba>>ADA

ADA is also highly overrated, far more than Dumba ever is or will be. He was never elite, and I honestly don't know where that dribble ever sprouted from.

3) Our GM has been extremely vocal ever since he was hired that he only wants players of high-character on the Wild roster, so ADA would be a instant deal-breaker. Everything else that's coming back is great, extremely tempting even, but the bottom line is ADA kills that deal dead the second Gorton suggests and tries to include him.

Guerin says NO.

Any talk of ADA right now is moot....why trade for him and take his salary and cap hit when you can get a bargain after his buy out?

His haters are gonna hate....lots of speculation by fans and writers who hate his politics...but nothing has been confirmed...and team mates have said he is a positive in the locker room...his haters will say it’s because his D sucks...and for sure he has struggled defensively- but who wouldn’t playing across from Staal or Jack Johnson?

We’ll see if there is interest in him this summer...and if a team does take a flier on him- they will probably get an offensive dynamo who is hell bent at improving his D and who really toned down his hot head on the ice.

Most teams will shy away from a racist cancer. Guerin just fixed the locker room doubt he is looking to screw that up. The deal is actually more appealing if Rangers just keep DeAngelo. The additional depth defenseman isn't really a need either. Maybe make that a center prospect or someone with a right hand shot.

Nobody wants anything to do with that cancer DeAngelo
