Philadelphia Flyers To Scratch Tony DeAngelo

December 9, 2022 at 1:57 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 18 Comments

The Philadelphia Flyers are going to get Cam York into the lineup to the joy of many fans. The way they are doing it, though, will cause some eyebrows to raise around the league. Tony DeAngelo will be a healthy scratch tonight.

DeAngelo, 27, has recorded points in each of his last four games and played nearly 22 minutes on Wednesday night. That is actually much lower than his average on the year, which still sits over 24 minutes, after a number of huge totals earlier on. Twice this year already, DeAngelo has played more than 31 minutes in a game, as head coach John Tortorella tried desperately to find a way to spark his team’s offense.

Now, though, he’ll sit down the veteran defenseman in favor of York, who will be playing in his first NHL game of the season. The 21-year-old has 13 points in 20 minor league games and is one of the team’s top prospects. Selected 14th overall in 2019, he has ten points in 33 career games with the Flyers – nearly all of them coming during the 2021-22 season.

Meanwhile, DeAngelo was signed to a two-year, $10MM contract by the Flyers after sending three draft picks to the Carolina Hurricanes to acquire him (they received a seventh-round pick as well). Moving a second, third, and fourth for a defenseman in his mid-twenties isn’t exactly the kind of deal that a rebuilding club usually pulls off, showing how little interest the front office had in a full teardown in the offseason.

While this almost certainly won’t be the last we see of DeAngelo in the lineup, it does indicate just how hard Tortorella is trying to instill some responsibility in the Flyers group. The high-risk defenseman has never been known for contributing much in his own end, and he has been on for 29 goals again at even strength already this year. That is third worst on the club, behind only Hayes (34) and Ivan Provorov (30).

    Those compromising photos are really paying off for Nick Seeler.

    Guess Deangela is already poisoning yet another team. Teams will never learn, talent without character does not work.

      Another know nothing comment on TDA. Truth is, his teammates love him.

      Truth is, he is a poison. Just ask the Lightning, Yotes, Rangers, and Canes. Talent without character does not work. Flyers seem to be figuring that out as well.

      @blueavenger77: So playing for a lot of teams means you’re poison?

      By that logic, Lee Stempniak must be the most poisonous player ever

    FYI gang, while I know everyone wants to get their licks in on TDA and rightfully so, Torts did the same thing with Konecny, Hayes, and Risto last month.

      Heh, well, no one’s responded yet with a comment like “I hope that scumbag rots in hell after a slow and painful death,” or anything like that.

    Tony and Torts were never destined to co-exist.
