Tony DeAngelo’s hot start is a big positive in a rebuilding year

The 2019-2020 season was always going to be a make-or-break season for Tony DeAngelo. The Rangers made that clear when he was given a one-year bridge deal as a “show me” contract. Now with 11 points in 13 games, DeAngelo is one of the few consistent bright spots on a Rangers blue line that is, for lack of a better phrase, bad.

DeAngelo’s 5-6-11 line puts him third on the team in scoring and four points ahead of Jacob Trouba (1-6-7) for the defense scoring lead. DeAngelo’s talent is what made him a high draft pick, but it was his attitude issues that made the Rangers his third team in as many years.
