This is a weird trade to evaluate.
I mean, if DeAngelo didn't have his past off ice issues, you look at getting a D of his offensive ability for a 2nd, 3rd and 4th as buying low, but saying that isn't even remotely close to the actual scenario.
Here is the way I see it. Canes took a stab on a player nobody wanted, got tremendous value for $1M in cap hit (which they could have buried at anytime), and rather than commit to him, just got picks in exchange for that free asset. Easy win overall.
Flyers probably got a decent talent for the picks, but this team isn't competitive and they shouldn't be spending assets on a player who they will have under contract for 2 years. Even if he plays well this is a terrible use of assets. The fact that this player comes with the amount of baggage that he does is also troubling, and given the baggage, this price seems a bit high. So the flyers just lose here. TDA could put up 60 points next year, and that just means the Flyers get a worse pick in a draft that is supposed to be very deep, so it hurts them on several levels.
