Rangers to reunite with controversial defenseman? Last minute development
Should the New York Rangers reunite with former fan favourite? As the defenseman is on the verge of heading to the KHL.
Tony DeAngelo would be an affordable option for the New York Rangers, and has proven he's a reliable defensive player.
DeAngelo's previous cap hit with the Carolina Hurricanes was a for 1-year, at $1.67 million.
DeAngelo has been surrounded by controversy his entire career, from junior hockey incidents to his confrontation with
Alexander Georgiev in New York.
Even when he was with the Arizona Coyotes, he was suspended during the 2016-17 season for verbally abusing an NHL official, David Brisebois.
A lot of fans have been suggesting that the Rangers add someone with more grit and a 'I don't care' attitude, to help the organization make it to the Stanley Cup Finals this season, and DeAngelo just might be that guy.
Throughout his career he has played 371 between the Carolina Hurricanes, Philadelphia Flyers, Arizona Coyotes, and the New York Rangers, recording a total of 210 points (48 goals, 162 assists).
