Tony DeAngelo: our analysis

2025-26 season: 76 GP, 5 G, 30 A, 35 PTS, -5 +/-, 19:08 TOI. WAR -1.9 (325th of 325) · PAL 9, very poor.

In 2025-26, Tony DeAngelo, 31, posts a PAL Rating of 9 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -1.9 ranks 325th among 325 regulars, in the bottom quarter.

His strengths: offense (82, well above average), creation (78, well above average) and shooting (64, above average). On the other hand, defense (0, among the weakest in the league) and power play (1, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+1.2); his biggest cost: EV defense (-9.9).

A slight dip from 2024-25, when his PAL was 16; his WAR went from -0.5 to -1.9.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 15 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Tony DeAngelo's story

Growing up in Sewell and playing youth hockey in South Jersey, Tony DeAngelo left home at 14 to join the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders and became the youngest player ever in the USHL. He also skated in the Quebec International Pee-Wee Tournament with a Philadelphia-affiliated minor team. A broken patella in January 2011 cut short his season in Cedar Rapids.

Selected by the Sarnia Sting in the second round of the 2011 OHL Priority Selection, DeAngelo chose the major-junior route rather than continuing in the USHL. After a modest rookie year he broke out offensively, posting 58 points in 2012–13 and leading OHL defensemen with 71 points in 2013–14, which earned him a spot in the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game. Tampa Bay drafted him 19th overall in 2014 and he signed an entry-level deal later that year.

Traded to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in January 2015, DeAngelo totaled 89 points in 55 games and collected the Max Kaminsky Trophy as the OHL’s top defenseman, along with the CHL Defenceman of the Year honour. He began his pro career in the AHL with Syracuse before being dealt to the Arizona Coyotes in June 2016 and scoring his first NHL goal in his debut on November 8, 2016. A three-game suspension on January 1, 2017, for physical contact with an official was a notable low point early in his NHL tenure.

The Coyotes traded DeAngelo to the New York Rangers in June 2017. He split time between Hartford (AHL) and the Rangers, then established himself as an offensive blue-liner: 30 points in 2018–19 and a breakout 53-point campaign (15 goals, 38 assists) in 68 games in 2019–20, including a hat trick on January 9, 2020. A two-year extension followed in October 2020, but disciplinary incidents in 2021 led to waivers and an eventual buyout that July.

DeAngelo signed a one-year deal with Carolina in July 2021, produced early offence and recorded a Gordie Howe hat trick on October 30, 2021. He was traded to Philadelphia in July 2022 on a two-year contract, received a two-game suspension in March 2023, and was bought out in July 2023. He returned to Carolina later that month and signed in the KHL with SKA Saint Petersburg in September 2024, where he was selected to the KHL All-Star Game.
