The New Jersey Devils defense could use some help, but Tony DeAngelo is not the answer.
It’s not often that a player who is coming off a 53-point season is placed directly on waivers just a month into the next season. It’s even rarer that the player in question is a defenseman. That’s exactly what the New York Rangers did with Tony DeAngelo on Sunday morning. The controversial defenseman has struggled this season, but his fall from grace is astronomical.
The New Jersey Devils could use another defenseman, and DeAngelo comes with the price tag of free.
