Tony DeAngelo is coming off a difficult season with the Hurricanes, where he played 31 games and recorded three goals, eight assists, and a minus-7 rating. Known for his offensive potential from the blue line, DeAngelo's performance dipped, leading to several healthy scratches. Despite the challenges he faced, including struggles defensively, his previous success—42 points in 70 games with the Flyers during the 2022-23 season—suggests he could still serve as a valuable depth player for a team in need of offensive contributions from defense. The possibility of securing a professional tryout remains open as teams begin to bring in players for training camps.
