The Flyers made a huge move Friday at the 2022 NHL draft, acquiring Tony DeAngelo in a trade with the Hurricanes. By Jordan Hall.

“We got to know him before we got him," Brind’Amour said in April, via The Athletic's Arthur Staple. "That was where we did that. "We did our due diligence and we strongly believe in Tony and his ability to help our team. Prior to his time in New York, coming up as a younger player, DeAngelo had some past history of disruptive and inexcusable behavior. The stuff off the ice was just strange for me. "I would think over the next month, we would start to get a pretty good picture as he continues to advance in his rehab protocols, both off the ice and on the ice," Fletcher said just over a week ago about the offseason decisions hinging on Ellis' recovery. He put up 51 points (10 goals, 41 assists) and a plus-30 rating in 64 games on a one-year, prove-it deal.

The Flyers acquired talented but controversial defenseman Tony DeAngelo from Carolina on Friday morning. He is a South Jersey native.

Some of the mistakes earlier in his career, he hasn’t had any repeat offenses, so to speak.” Last summer, the New York Rangers bought him out of his contract. Gostisbehere had 14 goals and 51 points (the same total as DeAngelo) for Arizona last season. Been a Flyers fan since the day I can remember.” Besides DeAngelo, the Flyers received a seventh-round pick, and they selected speedy right winger Alexis Gendron with it. “It’s a dream come true for me,” DeAngelo, who played youth hockey in the Philadelphia area, told Flyers public-relations staffers.

DeAngelo said a lot of perceived signing options “didn’t come to fruition,” but he found “open arms” with the Hurricanes. At the same time, I think I’ve taken a lot of strides on the defensive side of the puck, too. Some teams are trying to move guys because of the money and all that, so it might work out pretty well for us.” “It’s not a player we were looking to move on from,” Waddell told the media. “Been a Flyers fan since the day I can remember. Hurricanes president and general manager Don Waddell told reporters in Montreal on Friday that the Canes were trying to re-sign DeAngelo until late Thursday night.

Is toting around DeAngelo’s pestilential baggage — spreading filth in his wake — worth it in the hope he can help the Flyers return to their former glory? Those right there are the words of a hockey team that’s completely lost the plot. The Flyers then reportedly extended DeAngelo to the tune of a two-year, $10 million contract to lock down the defenseman through the 2024-25 season. DeAngelo reportedly started the incident after a miscommunication between the two led to Sidney Crosby’s game-winning overtime goal. On Twitter, DeAngelo’s conservative views came to light as he denied the severity of COVID-19 during the pandemic. There’s a long history of receipts detailing DeAngelo’s putrid behavior on and off the ice.

Flyers Defenseman Tony DeAngelo: 'I'm Absolutely Not Racist at All' (Philly Hockey Now)

New Flyers defenseman Tony DeAngelo spoke passionately about playing for the team he rooted for while growing up in South Philly.

… The only way you can win in this league is if you have guys (who have) bought in … 23 guys.” DeAngelo said “people are going to get to know me well and really enjoy my game and the kind of person I am off the ice as well. I thought I had a real good year this year, so obviously with a good team it makes it a little easier on you, I guess. I’m just looking forward to proving (myself), as I did in Carolina this past year and doing the same thing here.” In a Zoom call with reporters Saturday, the 5-foot-11, 180-pound defenseman sounded genuinely excited to be playing in his home city. “There was something I said back in junior; people don’t know what it is.

When I had my opportunity to get back in the league and go to Carolina I just took advantage of it and tried to mature. A restricted free agent, DeAngelo and his agent, Pat Brisson, were given permission by the Canes to talk with other teams. “I don’t think there’s anybody better in the league one on one,” DeAngelo said of Slavin. “We had a lot of man-to-man style there defending, so you’re really covering your own guy. Canes president and general manager Don Waddell said the two sides continued to negotiate until late Thursday night, the first day of the draft. That came after protracted contract talks with Carolina and the inability to reach an agreement both sides liked. I was definitely interested in staying and they were interested in keeping me, but it was getting to the point we weren’t working anything out.”

New Flyer Tony DeAngelo's past includes suspensions for verbal ... (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

The 26-year-old defenseman, who the Flyers acquired on Friday for three draft picks, is an elite offensive defenseman but comes with character concerns.

The Flyers technically traded for his negotiating rights and not the player, although reports say he has agreed to sign a two-year, $10 million ($5 AAV) contract with the team. On the ice, DeAngelo fits a real need for the Flyers as a puck-moving defenseman and a power-play quarterback. He is a right-handed shot who moves the puck extremely well and will drive offense from the back end for us.” On Friday, DeAngelo said he has made “strides” in this regard but it is hard not to think his numbers defensively are a bit misleading and a by-product of being part of a great defensive team in Carolina. He was also suspended three games for verbally abusing referees in juniors on a separate occasion. DeAngelo is an offensive defenseman who can generate offense both as a playmaker and with his shot.

Flyers' Tony DeAngelo After Trade from Hurricanes: 'I'm Absolutely ... (Bleacher Report)

Defenseman Tony DeAngelo insisted Saturday that he is not racist after getting traded to the Philadelphia Flyers from the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday.

DeAngelo got suspended during his one season in Arizona for shoving a referee, and his tenure with the Rangers essentially ended after getting into a locker room altercation with teammate Alexandar Georgiev. DeAngelo admitted to using a slur toward a former teammate but noted that he took sports psychology counseling classes after the fact and said he is "still friends" with the former teammate. … I don’t need to say too much about that.

Philadelphia Flyers trade for Tony DeAngelo: Everything you need ... (The Athletic)

The Flyers traded three draft picks for DeAngelo, who comes with a lot of baggage and questions about his fit.

But if an organizational consensus is forming that Ellis is unlikely to be ready for 2022-23 — and that his return at all is also very much in question — then DeAngelo makes more sense as a player who would be used like a top-four blueliner on the right side. In May, both Ellis and Fletcher expressed confidence that a recovery plan for his “multi-layered pelvic issue” had been constructed, and that over the course of the summer, he would be pushing himself to be ready for training camp. Yes, DeAngelo did spend a significant amount of time next to Jaccob Slavin on the Hurricanes’ top pair in 2021-22, and that pair thrived, even if head coach Rod Brind’Amour did his best to still shelter DeAngelo when possible. Kevin Hayes — a longtime friend of DeAngelo dating back to their time together on the Rangers — also publicly supported him in the aftermath of Friday’s trade, vouching for his quality as a teammate, something legitimately in question due to the Georgiev incident. DeAngelo very clearly provides power play value to his clubs and has graded out as a break-even play-driver as even strength for years. But the timing’s a little murkier, and frankly the focus is a little bit more on making sure he gets healthy and can get back.” After a Rangers loss, DeAngelo got into a confrontation with teammate and backup goalie Alexandar Georgiev, who ultimately punched DeAngelo. The organization — which already had put DeAngelo on notice that his behavior was approaching the point of being unacceptable — responded by placing DeAngelo on waivers, and after he went unclaimed, they chose to sit him out for the rest of the season, ultimately buying out his contract that summer. “Toning down some of the rhetoric, toning down some of that activity. “The defense side, we believe Tony’s improved in that part of the game, but we’re not expecting him to come in and be an elite defender,” Fletcher said. DeAngelo is a high-scoring offensive defenseman, though it took some time for him to establish himself as a clear-cut NHLer after being taken in the first round of the draft in 2014. “Last year we felt we really struggled to move the puck, we struggled on the power play, we spent too much time in (the) defensive zone. He fell out of favor with the Rangers due to his active, occasionally inflammatory presence on social media, undisciplined play and then a physical confrontation with teammate Alexandar Georgiev. After being bought out by the Rangers in the summer of 2021, the Hurricanes signed him to a one-year, $1 million contract, and he rewarded them with 51 points in 64 games.
