Philadelphia -This is not a Tony Dengello Revenge Tour.
It is not to prove anything to the team that drives him away or the team who did not sign him during the summer.
It will help you make your decisions here and now, leading the islanders to the playoffs and bringing him back to NHL.
“I think it's proven enough,” said Deangelo, before the islanders were signed last weekend, before he faced the flyers in his first game in his hometown. 。 “That's the reality. I just want to take this opportunity to help you reach the place where this team needs to go.”
When Ryan Prok fell and joined Noah Dobson in a reserved reserve later, it took only a few seconds to make a debut with the islanders about the importance of placing Diangelo on the right side of the blue line.
He picked up a large number of minutes in the top pair, but he did not miss the beat while playing with SKA ST. Petersburg on KHL.
A 29 -year -old who reached the 50 -point mark twice, can move the pack at the elite level, and even if the islanders were completely healthy, they could fill in clear holes.
There was no obvious adjustment period. Thanks to the islanders who have adopted the same system as Deangelo played in Carolina last season.
“Everyone has not been fine -tuned,” DeanGelo said. “My feelings are that many teams in the league are starting to play in the same way, which is basically a way to win, so the way we play in this league is what I pick up. I think we have to use the 5th units so far. If you get involved in the trouble, it is a great plus for the person.
The movement of Lula Moriello brought in Deangelo was encountered in social media, and was cast as something desperate.
But if there was no history of Deangelo that seemed to be the biggest reason in Russia from the beginning, I wonder if NHL would have done him first.
“He can escape how calm he is in a pack, said the islanders, Patrick Roy, said,” Our structure is close to what they are in Carolina. I was convinced that he would be quite easy to adapt to it, how calm he was, and how calm he was. I feel a good partner [Alexander Romanov] Now right now. Both are really working. “
There may have been the risk of taking DEANGELO. However, a one -year contract at the lowest amount of the proportional league will not be a cap seat drag forever.
From the team's point of view, I didn't lose much here.
If the islanders were taking risks, DeanGelo itself took a lot of chips with a team that gave him a shot.
As a matter of skill and talent, it is clear that he is an NHL player.
And as a matter of the first impression, he is making something good for the islanders.
A few days ago, Carolina's coach, Rod Brindamur, was surprised that no one had signed a defender in the summer, so he was placed on Thursday.
“I had a good relationship with him. DeanGelo said,” He's a great coach.
“Nice words. But this is the team I signed, so this is something I am worried about.”
