According to a report from NHL insider Frank Seravalli, the Carolina Hurricanes are trying to offload defenseman Anthony DeAngelo for a pittance. Seravalli reports that the 'Canes are willing to absorb 50% of DeAngelo's $1.67 million salary and are seeking only a 5th round pick in exchange for the veteran blueliner.

Check it out:


DeAngelo, of course, was reportedly traded to the Hurricanes this past offseason before the NHL vetoed the deal due to salary cap circumvention rules. DeAngelo played the 2021-22 season with the Hurricanes before being acquired by the Philadelphia Flyers last offseason. When the Flyers tried to trade DeAngelo BACK to the Hurricanes this offseason, the NHL denied the trade stating that a team cannot re-acquire a player within 12 months of trading them away, if that player is an unsigned RFA. Since that was the situation last offseason, the Hurricanes weren't able to re-aquire him via trade.

Ultimately DeAngelo agreed to a one year deal with the 'Canes as a free agent, but his return to North Carolina has been underwhelming. The 28 year old has just three goals and 10 points in 27 games. He managed 11 goals and 42 points in 70 games with the Flyers last season but he reportedly clashed with Flyers heard coach John Tortorella, which ultimately led to a contract buy-out

Surprise, surprise that DeAngelo, a player with a history of personality issues, clashed with the most fiercely stubborn coach in the NHL. 

DeAngelo, of course, was also run out of the Big Apple after clashing with teammates on the New York Rangers. Remember when DeAngelo went off on then Rangers netminder Alexandar Georgiev and earned himself another contract buy-out?

DeAngelo reportedly cracked 'Make a fucking save' to Georgiev after a particularly tough loss and Georgiev lost it. He took a swing at DeAngelo and the pair were separated by teammates. Ultimately, Georgiev's teammates sided with him and DeAngelo had his contract terminated within hours.

All of this is to say that DeAngelo has a history of being an awful teammate, so don't be surprised if there's no interest for him on the trade market.
