This year, DeAngelo played 12 games, scored five assists and holds a -7 rating while averaging 16:21 minutes of ice time.
There is speculation that Brett Pesce might be a potential trade candidate due to the ongoing contract discussions that have hit a roadblock between the veteran defenseman and the Hurricanes. Pesce, who is in the final year of a six-year contract, has played five games this season, tallying a goal and an assist. Unfortunately, he has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since then.
