Tony DeAngelo may have been signed to fill the Noah Dobson void, but his game is more similar to the injured Mike Reilly.
With the New York Islanders losing Noah Dobson for the foreseeable future due to a lower-body injury, the team announced that they had signed defenseman Tony DeAngelo to a one-year deal: Per Frank Seravalli, he is being paid the pro-rated league minimum ($775,000).
Because DeAngelo is on the roster, the Islanders can waive anyone since that process takes 24 hours. They must either send down a player who is waiver-exempt (Marc Gatcomb is the likely option) or place Dobson on long-term injured reserve.
Tony DeAngelo’s first morning on Long Island consisted of a quick skate, a short introduction to his new teammates and getting ready to play in his first game in the new digs.
