The controversial NHLer Tony DeAngelo finally broke the silence on the rumors sending him to the KHL.

Following a rough few years, DeAngelo, 28, had the worst season of his career in 2023-24. He took part in only 31 games with the Carolina Hurricanes and struggled to have a positive impact on his team. He tallied three goals and eight assists in the regular season, as well as two assists in nine playoff games.
A recent report suggested that DeAngelo could be joining the KHL. DeAngelo entered free agency on July 1st, and he hasn't signed a contract yet, fueling the rumors of him moving to the KHL.
"Hearing Tony DeAngelo to join SKA in the KHL Nothing concrete yet"
DeAngelo himself debunked those rumors. Puck Empire posted a picture of a conversation with DeAngelo, in which he states that he's looking for a contract in the NHL for the 2024-25 season.
Check it out:
"Tony DeAngelo tells @PuckEmpire that there is zero truth to these reports.

The defenseman is looking for an NHL deal for the 2024-25 season."

We should know soon enough if a team decides to take a chance on DeAngelo. It wouldn't be surprising to see an organization offer him a professional tryout contract ahead of the training camp.
