The Philadelphia Flyers fan base speculated something may have been up due to defensemen Tony DeAngelo being a healthy scratch two days ago, which gave Cam York, the Flyers #1 defense prospect, a shot on the roster.
DeAngelo has missed the Flyers last three games, after being the Flyers highest scoring defensemen four games prior to him announcing his departure, due to a passing in the family listed as ''personal reasons''.
The Flyers have now announced they have placed Tony DeAngelo on the non-rostered list for the time being.
We send our condolences, thoughts and prayers to DeAngelo through whatever difficult time he is facing.
