Flyers Waive Tony DeAngelo
The Philadelphia Flyers announced, in a one-sentence statement, the end of the Tony DeAngelo era.
The statement: The Philadelphia Flyers have placed Tony DeAngelo on unconditional waivers.
The Flyers’ plan is to buy out DeAngelo, a source confirmed. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported the buyout strategy.
DeAngelo, a defenseman, is scheduled to have a $5 million cap hit for the 2023-24 season.
DeAngelo, 27, could be bought out Saturday if he clears waivers. He has one year left on his two-year, $10 million contract. Buying out DeAngelo would cost the Flyers $3.33 million spread over the next two seasons.
The Flyers thought they had a trade in place with Carolina to move DeAngelo. An NHL rule held up the trade because of a salary cap regulation. The trade was expected to be completed this week.
The Flyers signed DeAngelo last year to a two-year deal worth $10 million.Â

DeAngelo must be an absolute cancer in the locker room to take these steps.
Below is a comment from another website that may give us the answer about what happened. No way to confirm this but here it is:
We do know. He was eating with the team when he couldn’t play due to being hurt.
Supreme Man Torts viewed this as soft and benched him the rest of the year. Now he is so toxic the Flyers have to do anything to get him out of the locker room.
