The Carolina Hurricanes have been in the midst of a wave of trade rumours recently, with speculation about key defenceman like Noah Hanifin, Erik Karlsson and Brett Pesce, but today, they made a move on their blue line.
As mentioned, this was a team heavily linked with several defencemen on the trade market, and with plenty of talent throughout the group, this could almost certainly signal the end for someone like Pesce in Carolina.
Controversy aside, DeAngelo brings a lot on the ice, as he recorded another 42 points for the Flyers in 70 games last season, and with the Hurricanes looking to take the next step, this is a logical move for them.
