Tony DeAngelo decision, expansion draft start crucial Rangers offseason
NY Post
The NHL’s offseason may be shorter than usual, but the Rangers still have a lengthy to-do list to get through before the start of 2021-22.
After the Lightning hoisted the Stanley Cup for the second consecutive season Wednesday night in Tampa following their victory over the Canadiens, not only did the offseason officially begin, but — more importantly for the Rangers — it ignited the 24-hour countdown to the opening of the buyout window. This is where the Rangers’ offseason agenda likely begins. The Rangers are expected to buy out the final year of Tony DeAngelo’s contract as soon as possible, rather than exposing the 25-year-old defenseman in the Seattle Kraken expansion draft, which is set for July 21.You are the face of Major League Baseball, the $700 Million Man, and your close friend, your interpreter, betrays you, allegedly steals $16M from your bank account to pay off his gambling debts. An MLB investigation into The Scandal Heard ’Round the World, from here to Japan and back, thankfully absolves you. It does not cost you your reputation, or your growing legacy.
Whenever seasons like the one the Knicks just completed end, I always find myself back outside the visiting locker room at old Mile High Stadium. I always find myself standing with a handful of writers surrounding Bill Parcells maybe half an hour after the Jets lost the AFC Championship game to the Broncos.
