Tony DeAngelo has played eight of the ten games thus far in the 2017-18 season in a New York Rangers’ sweater; he’s been a healthy scratch twice and relegated to the role of the seventh defensemen three times. And yesterday, he was sent down to their AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolfpack. That’s an interesting way to welcome the only NHL-ready piece of the trade that sent Derek Stepan and Antti Raanta to the Arizona Coyotes, right?
DeAngelo, along with the 2017 seventh overall draft pick were traded to New York in exchange for Stepan and Raanta early in the offseason.
