The Rangers traded for a guy who was covered in red flags, and not only enabled his ugly, racist behavior, they even promoted his fucking podcast. He enjoyed a fluke season where he outscored his averages by a huge margin, but that was mostly because Marc Staal (yes, Marc Staal) was covering for his ass and Artemi Panarin was feeding him a ton of offense. I mean, it doesn't help that dumbass Quinn put him out there with quite possibly the worst defenseman in the National Hockey League (hint: Shares a similar name with that one guy who toured with every single festival in America in the mid-aughts) but they could have sold high and gotten good futures on him, but nope...they ran straight into his arbitration year and gave him an inflated contract as a result.
I have ZERO sympathy for the dumbfucks currently running things at MSG. Gorton has no idea what he's doing. He has a massive amount of cap tied up in dead space, and may have to use even more to get rid of the current mess on his hands. Meanwhile, it was his and Quinn's job to protect young K'Andre Miller, and all they did was knowingly let a black player just getting started share a locker room with the most demonstrably racist player in the league. Fuck all of these assholes.
Am I missing something. Dreger reports there's a "ton of interest in De Angelo"
First off I don't get it with all of his bullshit, but secondly, why wouldn't he have been picked up for free of waivers?
Again, I am sure I am missing something.
