Tony DeAngelo Trade Held Up, Hurricanes Want Karlsson

Tony DeAngelo was originally scheduled to be going back to the Hurricanes, but Carolina has apparently turned their attention to Erik Karlsson. Are the Flyers running out of options for their embattled defenseman?

Elliotte Friedman said on NHL Network that 2023 Norris Trophy winner and San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson could be on the move to either the Pittsburgh Penguins or Carolina Hurricanes. That’s bad news for Tony DeAngelo and the Philadelphia Flyers.

DeAngelo quickly burned out his welcome in Philly thanks to his contract and poor defensive play. DeAngelo, like Kevin Hayes, lost the favor of John Tortorella as a result, and found himself a healthy scratch towards the end of the season.
