DeAngelo seems like a prime candidate for a bridge deal to me. His value to the team and powerplay is more than what he'd get in a trade and I think the pivot to win now has occurred for the Rangers. Give him a two year deal to see if this season was a fluke or not. Not bother breaking the bank to buy up some UFA years. If he gets too expensive he's a valuable deadline chip down the line. The Rangers did it with Skjei, so it's not like it's unprecedented for them. Gorton knows what he's doing.

Tony D: 30 points 5v5 - 19 on the power play. 4th and 9th in the league respectively and 4th overall in the league at all strengths. On a /60 rate basis remains 4th overall 5v5 and 14th on the powerplay. As for the fancies 2nd best at 5v5 in terms of corsi split, shots for, and xG. Slightly tempered by the fact he received 56% lean towards the offensive zone. That's Natural Stat data. Hockey reference has him as a career +corsi rel player and a positive xG player for the Rangers.

My dumb take is he spent the playoffs and most of the regular season stapled to Marc Staal and his numbers without Staal or Smith are very good. He's *probably* not a top pairing guy, but give him soft starts and PP time and his upside massively outweigh the downside.

Edit: He's like a cut rate Krug imo.

I agree with this take

You don't pay him like a top defenseman but you can't discount his offensive contributions and think he's worthless

His value in a trade likely depends on what another team wants and their cap space...if there's a team out there that really needs offense from their blueline and a PP QB and has cap space to sign him to a bigger deal (and has a good partner to pair him with etc) then he could be quite valuable to them. Does that hypothetical team have something the Rangers want?

And ya'll do realize he was 4th in the league in scoring for defensemen this season before the 'rona hit right?

He's not good defensively but I"m again amazed that everyone seems to want to ignore that he was gonna put up over 60 points and act like that's nothing

Again im amazed you constantly focus on points when he can't play defense to save his worthless homophobic life.

Blaming the 48.6 corsi and +2.8 corsi rel player for the issues when played with the 42% corsi and -6 corsi rel and career -2.5% corsi rel player is really weird. Especially when you're bringing up Aho which is a 3 game sample size. But hey by all means trade away the very useful offensive defensive player that is only RFA and can be cost controlled. Surely this is a good idea.

I think DeAngelo is a giant shithead, I also think he is generally one-dimensional. But I’m not going to ignore his positives in a league where effective PMD are crucial and hard to find. I’d be happy if they moved on but it is not a open-shut case.

I don't think DeAngelo is going to play under a qualifying offer after putting up 50+ points in a shortened season

e: I mean saying that they should give him a qualifying offer is meaningless since the alternative is letting him become an UFA for no reason

Bob was saying on TSN Radio today that the Kings might be leaning towards Stützle at 2nd overall. If Ottawa can come out of the draft with a blue chip, 6’4 centre prospect in Byfield and grab a super high ceiling player like Lucas Raymond at 5, this could be the best draft haul in their history.

If junior hockey is disrupted are 2021 draft picks worth less? Like, say the season gets wiped out by a coronavirus resurgence in the winter, is there any reason to value a 20th overall pick more than an 80th overall pick if we've only had 2/3rd out of 2 possible seasons to evaluate players?

Their might be a little less value but it's not going to be 20th to 80th

I mean given their picks that should be the expectation. It also seems like Ottawa prefers Stutzle themselves, for whatever that's worth.

I think you end up with a more noisy line without all the scouting, thus if normally pick 15 is worth pick 25 +35 then at a low scouting draft you would be better off having the latter.

You could amass second and third round picks and hope that someone that should have gone in the first falls down due to lack of scouting.

Pronman lists him a tier below Byfield (so, from the Special/Elite bubble to the Elite/High-End one). In his latest mock draft, he says those in the industry think it's a coin flip between the two.

I agree it'll be more noisy, but I think there could be a lower mean after the top 5. This cohort of players are going to miss some development opportunities that might cascade into missing other opportunities in the future.

Carp the Rangers beat writer on the athletic seems pretty convinced the Rangers are going to buy out Hank after JD and Gorton said they’re not going into next season with 3 goalies.

I gotta think you have to try and shop Georgiev no? The cap hit on these buyouts with Shattenkirk and now potentially Hank become a bit onerous.

Wasn’t Tyler Wall tearing it up in college? And then we just drafted Lindbom as well? Why not have Hank go one more year and then Wall can back up Igor. I mean if no one is offering anything on Georgiev I guess I get it but it just seems bad to keep doing this.

You'd think that Lundqvist at 50% retained would be a great option for a team looking for a short term starter solution. Someone like Edmonton, Calgary or Vancouver would probably be interested. I'm not sure why they'd want to buy him out unless he's said he won't play for any other team than the Rangers.

I think it's mostly his skating setting him apart from the other guys in the top 3. He's as skilled as anyone outside of Lafreniere, but he's also one of the best skaters in the draft. He fits the mold of what the NHL is moving to - i.e. smaller, fast, highly skilled top-line players.

From Bob's TSN rankings:

quote:

While he’s the clear favourite to be No. 1 this year, some scouts did allow that it’s not heresy to suggest there may be a player or two in this draft, prospects who didn’t perform at Lafreniere’s level all season, who could eclipse Lafreniere in future years.

...

Scouts rave about his dynamic speed, drool over the deft touch of his hands and gush over his smarts and hockey sense.

“He puts it all together so well,” a scout said. “He can move his feet, hands and mind at top speed. It’s his ability to process everything so quickly that stands out.

Five of 10 scouts surveyed by TSN ranked Stutzle No. 2 overall; the same number had Byfield in that slot. But no scout surveyed had Stutzle lower than No. 3. Two of 10 slotted Byfield at No. 6, which is to say eight had him at No. 2 or No. 3. So there’s not a lot to choose between the two.

drat, Rangers are on the hook for a $6 million cap hit for Shattenkirk next year.

If they buyout Lundqvist that's $13 million on the cap for buyouts. Still, it's less than the $16 million in cap hit they'd have for their buyouts + Lundqvist. Can they even afford to keep Georgiev?
