Now, some will say the Flyers are clearing cap space to make a run at pending UFA Johnny Gaudreau. I call BS on that. If they were, they wouldn't have just committed $10 million over the next 2 seasons to Tony DeAngelo. DeAngelo has been a known issue in the locker room of past teams. Perhaps you'll recall when he was recently punched in the face by Rangers goaltender Alexandar Georgiev before having his contract bought out by the team. Forcing a player like Lindblom out of your locker room while bringing in DeAngelo is not only bad for the team off the ice, it's not a good hockey move if you think there's any chance that DeAngelo goes off the rails again. The Flyers were awful defensively last season and DeAngelo is
Tyson Barrie level bad in his own end.
