Daily News | Flyers acquire defenseman Tony DeAngelo from Hurricanes for three draft picks
MONTRÉAL — In an effort to turn around the Flyers’ fortunes on the blue line, Flyers general manager Chuck Fletcher got to work early on the second day of the draft through the trade market.
The Flyers acquired right-shot defenseman Tony DeAngelo and a 2022 seventh-round pick from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a 2024 second-round pick, a 2024 third, and a fourth in 2022. The 26-year-old Sewell, New Jersey native spent the past season with the Carolina Hurricanes, posting 10 goals and 41 assists in 64 games.
Prior to joining the Hurricanes last season on a one-year deal, DeAngelo played one year for the Arizona Coyotes and parts of four with the New York Rangers . In 270 career NHL games, DeAngelo has scored 34 goals and registered 123 assists, averaging 18:46 of ice time per game. He was considered to be one of the top available defensemen on the market.
The trade comes in the wake of a “multi-layered pelvic injury” to first-pairing defenseman Ryan Ellis, whose availability for the start of the 2022-23 season remains in question. Ellis, 31, sustained the injury in the 2021-22 preseason and only played four regular-season games for the Flyers in his first year with the team.
