“Sources say Tony DeAngelo is closing in on a deal to stay on Long Island,” Frank Seravalli reported in a post on X. “Cross another name off the list – a thin right-shot defense market gets thinner. 1 year x $1.75m.”

The deal is for one season at $1.75 million. It left the Islanders with $12.9 million in space under the $95.5 million salary cap with 19 players signed. Forwards Simon Holmstrom, Marc Gatcomb, Maxim Tsyplakov and Emil Heineman remain restricted free agents.
