Not a done deal yet
The proposed Tony DeAngelo trade to Carolina from Philadelphia hit a snag late last night according to sources. It needs to get worked put or else that deal now doesn’t happen.

Would be a real shame if it completely fell through
I am trying to think of what snag could be hit.
Flyers want to get rid of TDA. They will retain 50%. Carolina is giving up essentially nothing.
Maybe the fringe prospect that Philly liked refused to sign? Even then it seems like a 5th round pick could substitute.
Maybe Carolina had another deal in the works which fell apart?
Good, after what aho did to this man at their last game I don’t want him back lol
Forget snag, I hope it imploded
As long as it remains 50% retained and the return is for something insignificant I don’t really care how it gets done. Anything more and Don should walk away. Tony and Burnsy QBing the power play units for a full season could be great. Although I was hoping we’d get grit/size at LHD for the 3rd line instead of an RHD + moving Chatty over, I see value in this approach.
He was good when he was here but I really don’t know if he’s what we need on the back end. We really lack size and toughness. He definitely brings toughness, but he’s not going to be clearing guys from the net.
There’s also the fact that he completely lost his head in the playoffs and was a detriment to the team.
To ask maybe a stupid question… why is everyone assuming Chatfield would just be the solution to play his off side on the third pairing? Could bringing TDA back be a precursor to trading Pesce or Chatty?
NOOOOOOO
Imma be mad if we get TDA but lose Ghost and Pesce
praise jesus
