Carolina Hurricanes trade rumors: Tony DeAngelo to rejoin Canes from Philadelphia Flyers

The Carolina Hurricanes are being linked to Tony DeAngelo of the Philadelphia Flyers. As part of the deal, the Flyers are rumored to retain 50% of DeAngelo's contract, and in return, receive Massimo Rizzo, according to Eric Reese.

DeAngelo has played for multiple teams in the NHL, including the Arizona Coyotes and New York Rangers, and had a one-season stint with the Hurricanes. His presence on the blue line will undoubtedly add depth to the Hurricanes' defensive core.

DeAngelo has had a productive NHL career so far, accumulating 45 goals, 154 assists, and 199 points.

Massimo Rizzo, meanwhile, played for the University of Denver. He gained recognition as an All-American player for the Denver Pioneers and played a pivotal role in the team's National Championship victory in 2022. Drafted 216th overall in 2019 by the Carolina Hurricanes, Rizzo has shown tremendous potential.
