LeftWinger 4,965 Report post Posted July 14, 2023 DeAngelo had such a promising career. I know he has a very unpopular opinion about things, but that shouldn't inhibit his ability to work. I guess maybe he'll find his way overseas unless some team takes a flyer on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony DeAngelo would have a job if one of two things were true, 1) he played defense decently, 2) he didn't play defense but scored 80-100 points like Karlsson. He does neither and nobody is going to accept how bad he is defensively for 40-50 points. Not when you can get guys like Shayne Gostisbehere for cheap. Players' politics only matter when they suck. I used to say the same thing about Colin Kaepernick. If he was as good as Tom Brady nobody would care about his politics. Brady used to golf with Trump and nobody in the NFL really cared too much. Certainly not enough to threaten his career in any meaningful way. Kaepernick's politics got a very different reaction because he wasn't any good to begin with. 2 1 LeftWinger, Rick D and Akakabuto reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He just won't get one for $5 mil, which is why the Flyers couldn't trade him. He was supposed to move back to the Canes. But I suspect the Canes are now in deep on a Karlsson trade, and so will need every bit of cap available. If Karlsson falls through I bet they sign Tony D to a $2 mil AAV or something. He sucks at D, but he can score. Ghostbear sucks at D too btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I don't agree that Gostisbehere sucks at defense. Or at least not to the extent DeAngelo does. Gostisbehere's defensive metrics grade out a good deal better than DeAngelo's. IMO he's more like Hronek than he is like DeAngelo. Which is to say, not a super defender but roughly league average amongst defensemen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
