Defenseman Tony DeAngelo is on the move again. On the second day of the draft, the Carolina Hurricanes have traded the blue liner to the Philadelphia Flyers in return for 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks.
DeAngelo came into Carolina and was impactful from the start. He ended his first season with the Canes with 51 points while finishing just three off the team lead with a career-best 41 assists on the year.
This is another move for DeAngelo, who was signed to a one-year, $1 million deal by the Hurricanes last off-season, after he took part in just six games with previous season with the New York Rangers following a team suspension after an incident with a teammate following a game. He was drafted 19th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2014 NHL Draft, but did not make his NHL debut until the 2016-17 season, for the Arizona Coyotes. He is now set to play for his fourth different team in seven years in Philadelphia.
Throughout his NHL career, DeAngelo has 34 goals and 157 points in 270 career NHL games played.
According to Frank Seravalli, the Flyers were closing in on a two-year, $5 million deal with DeAngelo.
