Tony DeAngelo signed a one-year, $1.675 million contract with the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday.
The 27-year-old defenseman had 42 points (11 goals, 31 assists) in 70 games last season with the Philadelphia Flyers, who bought out the final season of his two-year, $10 million contract July 15.
DeAngelo previously played with the Hurricanes during the 2021-22 season, when he had 51 points (10 goals, 41 assists) in 64 games. That season, he also set NHL career highs in plus/minus (plus-30) and power-play points (20), but he was traded to the Flyers on July 8, 2022.
“Tony is an elite offensive defenseman who had a great season with us in 2021-22,” Carolina general manager Don Waddell said. “We wanted to re-sign him last summer, and now we’re thrilled to bring him back to Raleigh.”
