It looks like Vegas could be targeting Tony DeAngelo in a trade as a secondary option. Their primary option is Alex Pietrangelo, but would fall back to DeAngelo if that doesn’t happen.
Been told #VGK made a call to the NY Rangers to inquire about Tony D'Angelo, as a backup plan, in the event they can't land Alex Pietrangelo.#VegasBorn

We do know that the Rangers and DeAngelo haven’t begun true negotiations. That isn’t much of a surprise since the Rangers don’t usually begin with their RFAs until after free agency opens. However this now makes the second rumor regarding a potential trade. This comes just two days after Philly was speculated as a potential destination.
You all know the saying. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. The Rangers have a delicate, but not critical, cap situation next year. This is what is fueling both the DeAngelo rumors and the Strome rumors. It would make sense that Vegas is targeting Tony DeAngelo, there’s a need and a fit. Just need to dump cap space first.
