McKenzie: Rangers and Tony DeAngelo are still talking with teams, waiting for heat to die down

Bob McKenzie provided an update on the Tony DeAngelo situation on NBCSN. When asked if a trade was close McKenzie quickly replied, “the short answer is no.”

According to hockey’s premier insider, “the sense I get is that the slow play here is the best play here for some of teams interested in DeAngelo.” That way the heat any team would face in acquiring the 25 year-old defenseman will die down.

He followed that up with noting there are many teams continuing to have conversations not only with the Rangers, but DeAngelo’s agent Pat Brisson.
