Tony DeAngelo has played his last game with the New York Rangers, general manager Jeff Gorton told reporters on Monday.

Gorton said the 25-year-old defenseman "wasn't able to move on" from being benched for the second and third games of the season -- a decision made by coach David Quinn after DeAngelo committed an unsportsmanlike penalty in the home opener.

"I told him if his name came up in anything at all that he would be on waivers," Gorton said. "I felt like I had to stay true to my word, the organization's word."
