Tony DeAngelo has been bounced around the NHL, after getting into a confrontation with Alexander Georgiev in New York.

You'd think he'd be shown the door, as someone not able to get along with his teammates, however since New York he's been to Raleigh and did a stint with the Carolina Hurricanes, which he was also ceremoniously ushered out of the organization as well.

Fans are speculating that he once again, wore out his welcome in another locker room and if what John Tortorella said is true, why has Tony continued to want to play in Philadelphia especially if he's a negative influence?
Primarily ego? Regardless, it sounds like he's punching above his weight as his production offensively is great, he's not a two-way defenseman and his $5 million AAV sounds unjustified especially if he can't get along with teammates--again.

Chalk it up to another Chuck Fletcher error.
