In the last few seconds, renowned insider Frank Seravalli reported the following:
"Hearing #Canes are closing in on an agreement with free agent Tony DeAngelo on a 1-year deal in the $1.6 million range."
Given DeAngelo's history, along with the last-second trade that was declined between the Canes and the Philadelphia Flyers, this deal is generating a lot of buzz at the moment.
DeAngelo, 27 years old, is a purely offensive defenseman drafted in 2014. He amassed 42 points in 70 games last season, and 51 points in 64 games the previous year.
