Islanders Re-Sign Tony DeAngelo to Two-Year Deal

The reported $4.5 million-a-year extension locks in a right-shot offensive defenseman while narrowing New York’s salary-cap flexibility this summer.

Overview

  • The New York Islanders announced on Friday that they re-signed defenseman Tony DeAngelo to a two-year extension that carries a reported $4.5 million average annual value.
  • PuckPedia-based estimates reported by multiple outlets place the club with roughly $6.1 million in remaining cap space after the deal, limiting but not eliminating the front office’s room for moves.
  • DeAngelo, 30, produced a career-high 35 points (five goals, 30 assists) in 76 games last season and has served as a primary power-play option for the Islanders.
  • Multiple reports say the extension includes a limited no-trade clause, a protection that reduces the team’s ability to move him in trade talks and gives DeAngelo some control over his next destination.
  • General manager Mathieu Darche is still fielding trade inquiries on forward Mathew Barzal, which suggests the team may pursue further roster changes despite locking in DeAngelo.
