"They go off the ice, Georgiev is sitting, disappointed, like any competitive person, especially a goaltender would be after a game like that. DeAngelo walks by him and makes a sarcastic crack to him and Georgiev clocks him. They go at it and their team mates break it up." https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1356243657419091969
"Later that night, the Rangers call DeAngelo – I don't know if they call him or his agent — and they say that's the last straw. You're going on waivers tomorrow."
"I don't want to say anything is absolute because things can always change but I don't think anyone expects that Tony DeAngelo will play for the Rangers again."
"A player has to go on regular waivers before they can be put on unconditional waivers to have a contract terminated, however, you have to have a basis to terminate a contract. Patrik Berglund leaving Buffalo and saying no, I need my time out, that was a basis to terminate."
"If Tony Deangelo doesn't want his contract terminated, the question is, will the Rangers be able to do it? Most people I spoke to on Sunday don't think the Rangers will be able to unilaterally do it. The odds aren't with them."
"If he doesn't get claimed, they'll try to trade him. If they can't trade him, here come the questions. Do you want him with your prospects in the [AHL]? Do you want him around your team on the taxi squad? I think it's most likely he's sent home and he waits it out."
"DeAngelo doesn't turn 26 until October so that means he can be bought out for 1/3 of his contract, not the regular two-thirds. I had some people wonder if anyone would claim him on waivers knowing that if it doesn't work out you can buy him out for 1/3 instead of two-thirds."
"Any team that does it, there's gonna be heat. Are teams gonna take that heat?"
"You hear all the rumors and you want to get the story, but especially with these stories, you have to be so careful. I have a feeling that this isn't going to be the end of what we heard. I think this is going to trickle out over days."
"There's no question, it's really challenging because you want to do the story proper justice. You want to handle it right. You just have to be very careful. It's what I can prove and what I can't prove."
"The only defending I've gotten about [DeAngelo] is 'that's not true,' or 'didn't happen the way you are describing it to me.' That's the defense of him I've gotten. Just make sure what you say is accurate, because there's going to be a lot of fallout from this."
"It was almost as if they were saying, there's enough that [DeAngelo] is wrong about or that he should be punished about that you don't need to go into areas where it wasn't true."
