Daily News | Flyers coach John Tortorella is benching millions of dollars in his top defensemen
in favor of Cam York, whom they called up from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. DeAngelo was injured recently, but Tortorella said it was a “coach’s decision.” DeAngelo has four goals and 10 assists this season, but his plus-minus is worse than Ristolainen’s at minus-13. However, he was also shouldering the bulk of game time for a long stretch of the season, which Tortorella said attributed to his sloppy play.
On the second day of the 2022 NHL Draft, the Flyers traded away their 2022 fourth-round pick, one of three 2023 third-round picks, and a 2024 second-round pick, for. The Flyers previously have used second-round picks to select goalie Carter Hart and forward Wade Allison. There’s no indication the latest move is behavior-related. There’s no indication it’s health-related, since Tortorella said he’s a healthy scratch. There’s also no indication it’s a result of some of DeAngelo’s recent sloppy performances, since the only explanation Tortorella provided was that it was the coach’s choice.
With the decisions Flyers management has made lately, if Tortorella decides to bench any of the top-four defensemen, there will be at least $4.675 million sitting out . Tortorella hasn’t been shy about mentioning he needs more from all four of them.
