One Of The NHL's Most Controversial Players In History Makes A Massive Statement Regarding A Possible Return

Tony DeAngelo had a reputation as being a polarizing controversial player in the NHL, and after signing a deal to play in Europe, he discussed a possible return.

It wasn't surprising for many around the league when the news broke that Tony DeAngelo would be going to the KHL for the 2024-25 season.

This 29-year-old D-man currently plays with SKA St. Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League of Russia. A turbulent player, full of controversies both in and out of the ice, he finally landed without an NHL contract.

In the KHL, Tony DeAngelo is definitely doing well. With four goals and 24 points in 23 games, he's become a key player for SKA, a team eyeing a deep run for the Gagarin Cup.

In an interview with the ''New York Post'', he said he's happy about the situation he finds himself in but wouldn't have any qualms coming back to the NHL if a chance presented itself. He said he's been treated well by SKA St. Petersburg.

DeAngelo revisited on social media moving on from the New York Rangers being the turning point into his exit from the NHL. He says no hard feelings, though he feels the team definitely blew it.

The ending wasn't pretty, either, with the Philadelphia Flyers, where disagreements with head coach John Tortorella over style of play factored into his release.

While his defensive shortcomings brought criticism, there's never been much doubt about DeAngelo's skill on offense; at this point in his career, it seems he's content to carve out a new chapter overseas.
