Interesting bit about the Rangers hold-out Tony DeAngelo. Not as big a name as one of the other guys, but a good young d-man looking for a pay bump. Had a solid season last year with 30 points (4G and 26A in 61 games) in New York. I am adding him to the list in the OP as well.

For the Rangers it is relatively simple. They own DeAngelo’s rights and he has no leverage, They qualified him with an offer of the NHL minimum of $874,125. The word is that they want him to sign for the same amount that his fellow RFA, Brendan Lemiuex, signed for on Wednesday. That figure of $925k represents a pay raise over what he made last season, but it isn’t a lot of money.
The bottom line is that the team doesn’t have the cap space to extend DeAngelo on any kind of bridge deal. With a little over a million dollars in cap space, that is realistically all that they can offer him.

By the end of the season, DeAngelo was the top right handed shooting defenseman on the Rangers and was quarterbacking the first power play unit. His numbers were better than Kevin Shattenkirk‘s and comparable to Neal Pionk‘s.
