Tony DeAngelo was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers by the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday for three draft picks.
Carolina received a fourth-round pick (No. 101) in the 2022 Upper Deck NHL Draft, a third-round pick in the 2023 draft and a second-round pick in 2024 draft for the 26-year-old defenseman, who can become a restricted free agent July 13.
“We’re very happy to add Tony to our team and I know he is very excited to join the Flyers,” Flyers general manager Chuck Fletcher said. “We did our due diligence and we strongly believe in Tony and his ability to help our team. He is a right-handed shot who moves the puck extremely well and will drive offense from the back end for us.”

DeAngelo had 51 points (10 goals, 41 assists) in 64 regular-season games and 10 points (one goal, nine assists) in 14 Stanley Cup Playoff games for the Carolina Hurricanes last season. Carolina lost to the New York Rangers in six games in the Eastern Conference Second Round.
Selected by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round (No. 19) of the 2014 NHL Draft, DeAngelo has 157 points (34 goals, 123 assists) in 270 regular-season games for the Hurricanes, New York Rangers and Arizona Coyotes, and 11 points (one goal, 10 assists) in 17 playoff games.
The Flyers also received a seventh-round pick (No. 220) in 2022.
Philadelphia (25-46-11) was last in the Metropolitan Division and failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second straight season. The Flyers, who allowed the sixth-most goals per game (3.59), hired John Tortorella as coach on June 17.
