Rumors link top scorer forward to the Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs
Here's a rundown of the latest NHL rumors concerning the Detroit Red Wings, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, and Toronto Maple Leafs.
Tony DeAngelo and the Edmonton Oilers:
There is increasing talk linking defenseman Tony DeAngelo to the Edmonton Oilers. Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff mentioned that Tony DeAngelo, who remains unsigned, could be a valuable addition to the Oilers' blue line. Tony DeAngelo is reportedly willing to sign for close to the league minimum and is eager to join the Edmonton Oilers. Despite his offensive capabilities, Tony DeAngelo hasn't found a team yet, so joining a contender like the Edmonton Oilers could be mutually beneficial.
Calgary Flames' Potential Moves:
The Calgary Flames have had a relatively quiet offseason, but GM Craig Conroy might be open to making strategic trades, particularly salary dump deals where the team could gain a valuable sweetener. With nearly $20 million in cap space, the Calgary Flames are in a solid position to take on contracts from financially strained teams. The team may also consider offering Professional Tryouts (PTOs) to players like Steven Lorentz, Kailer Yamamoto, or Filip Zadina.
Max Pacioretty's Future:
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings are reportedly interested in signing veteran UFA forward Max Pacioretty. Nick Alberga confirmed that the Maple Leafs are firmly in the mix to sign Max Pacioretty, and it would be a standard player contract, not a PTO. Arthur Staple from The Athletic notes that while the Leafs and Red Wings are interested, Max Pacioretty might find a better fit with teams like the Chicago Blackhawks, Utah Hockey Club, or Calgary Flames, where he could play a more prominent scoring role and potentially be moved at the trade deadline if he has a strong season.
These developments highlight some intriguing possibilities as teams continue to shape their rosters heading into the 2024-25 season.
