Overview

  • Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman tweeted that New York agreed to a two-year extension for Tony DeAngelo, a report that other outlets have relayed and that remains pending formal club confirmation.
  • The deal was reported to carry a $4.5 million salary-cap hit per season, which PuckPedia’s projections show would leave the Islanders with about $6.1 million in remaining cap space.
  • DeAngelo is an offensively oriented right-shot defenseman who logged significant power-play minutes and posted 35 points in 76 games this past season.
  • If finalized, the signing would leave New York’s defense group largely set, joining Matthew Schaefer, Scott Mayfield, Ryan Pulock, Adam Pelech, Alexander Romanov and Isaiah George under contract.
  • The move narrows the team’s offseason options and keeps attention on the goaltending picture, where Semyon Varlamov has had limited recent appearances and David Rittich is set to reach unrestricted free agency.
