New York Rangers | Tony DeAngelo’s name subject to waivers

DeAngelo, 25, in his fifth NHL season, was on the ice for four Penguins goals. He was also benched by head coach David Quinn earlier this season with a bad misconduct penalty in the third period, after complaining aloud to the umpires about a crash penalty.

The Rangers (2-4-2) are struggling defensively after eight games this season, and they are last in the Eastern section. And DeAngelo, who initialed a two-year, US $ 9.6million contract in the offseason, could be close to quitting.

DeAngelo has been a mainstay of the power play offense for the past several years, first with the Arizona Coyotes for one season and then for the next three with the Rangers. He has a minus-6 differential so far this season.

Quinn, however, remained evasive when asked about the reasons for this decision.

“It’s a simple decision of the organization, and we’ll see what happens,” he told reporters. I understand your questions, I understand you want details, but like I said, it’s an organization decision, and in about 24 hours we’ll be able to get into more specific details. ”
