NY shouldn't in any way, shape or form be seen as a beacon of morality here. If DeAngelo still performed as he did in the past, they'd happily sweep any off-the-ice altercations under the carpet.

Well maybe and maybe not. There is a point at which teams will consider someone too much of a distraction, or just so tiresome to work with that even the people with some pull like coaches are completely fed up with them.
DeAngelo sounds like that kind of a guy. The only people defending him seem to be people that don't personally know him.
