With the Rangers’ preseason underway, the team finds itself with an incomplete roster. Defenseman Tony DeAngelo remains a restricted free agent and the two sides don’t appear particularly close to a resolution.
At the heart of the issue is a lack of cap space. After all of the wheeling and dealing this summer, the Rangers are left with just $1.16 million in cap room. Add in a small buffer for maneuverability, and it doesn’t really leave much ambiguity as to what the Rangers can offer DeAngelo.
Told there is currently wide gulf between Rangers and DeAngelo.
