- Dans le dossier Tony DeAngelo...

- Marc Bergevin devra attendre...

- Les Rangers ne vont pas RACHETER le contrat du défenseur avant le repêchage d'expansion.

- Chris Drury doit absolument mettre à disposition un défenseur sous contrat selon la règle..

- Et ce sera DeAngelo.

- BERGY devra donc attendre avant de lui offrir son contrat...

- À suivre...

The buyout window opened on Friday, but the Rangers gain no advantage by getting on with the deed sooner rather than later. Indeed, keeping DeAngelo on the roster gives Drury flexibility prior to drafting his team’s protected list that must be submitted to the league on July 17.

According to regulations, teams must expose at least one defenseman under contract for next year who played at least 27 games last year or a sum of at least 54 matches the last two seasons.

With Jacob Trouba and Ryan Lindgren sure to be protected; Adam Fox, K’Andre Miller and Zac Jones exempt; and Libor Hajek currently a restricted free agent without a contract for next season, DeAngelo and Anthony Bitetto are the only Blueshirt defensemen to meet the exposure requirement.
