Sbriggs Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 10 hours ago, Lil B From The Pack said: We're 6-9 right now and we just got humiliated by the Leafs 2 games in a row. (and I know how much CDC hates that.) We need some change and it has to happen now. I'm not the type of guy who's radical and suggests we blow up the team or anything like that. We gotta make some sensible trades but we do need to let some core fan favorite go. Here's my proposalTo VAN: Tony DeAngelo (25% Retained by NYR) 2021 OTT 4th Round PickTo NYR: Jake VirtanenReason: Both players haven't been producing and I feel they need a change of scenery. Jake I feel can flourish playing with the young guys in New York. We need help on the powerplay and Tony only being a year removed from having a 53 point season may bounce back and help us improve our powerplay.Pros & Cons Pros: - Acquire an offensive defenseman than can score and move the puck - We get an NHL caliber defenceman on our roster on the cheap - Immediate Powerplay help - Travis Green gets rid of someone he doesn't like Cons: - A defensive liability (I might overlook this if it improves the powerplay) - Locker room problems - Is racist - May not be fond of playing in a province with an NDP government Just my thoughts. Feel free to critique! - B Wow after reading those cons I think not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 DeAngelo is not an NHL quality defenseman. No more defensemen who can't play defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake is a career 3rd line plug. We'd have to start at Hughes and honestly from what I've seen I think I'd take the gamble. Something's gotta give.

Sounds like a lose-lose (4th rounder ends up being the best value for us?) Not sure how Covid restrictions are in the US. But aren't clubs and bars shutdown in NY?

iinatcc Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 DeAngelo looks like a guy that would be better in an environment of veteran players. I am thinking maybe San Jose, Philadelphia, or Pittsburgh is a better fit for him. Or even a place with Nashville since their leadership core since their leadership core are mostly D-Men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep this guy away from the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a plus 12 on a not so good Rangers team, that would say he held his own in his own zone as he was playing around or just under 20 minutes a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
