No need to convince us. Sign the guy up.
TDA hasn't been accused of anything worse that what Stan Bowman or Patrick Kane actually did.
We'll accept him here. And if he doesn't work out, meh.

Staples is all for it as well.. he discussed the Seravelli ON interview comments today in his Cult of Hockey.. discussed DeAngelo.. and concluded he'd be a worthwhile pick up..

" 3. As I’ve said before, I see DeAngelo as a good bet. If there are any real questions about character, Nurse can help answer them, as he was DeAngelo’s teammate for half a year in Sault St. Marie.
DeAngelo had an iffy regular season in 2023-24, playing just 31 games with only 11 points, and -7. But he was solid enough to play nine games in the playoffs for Carolina.
And in the two previous seasons, he had 42 points in 70 games and 51 points in 64 games.
Of course, he worked the power play in those better seasons but who is to say Evan Bouchard will have perfect health this year?
Would it not be wise to have a high-powered back-up on the payroll?
DeAngelo could well be that player and he’s between four and six years younger than other players being mentioned just now such as Tyson Barrie, Justin Schultz and Kevin Shattenkirk."
"6. Good to see Seravalli stand up for second chances for players like DeAngelo.
This is the age of cancellation and rapid, self-righteous and sometimes merciless judgement, often based on the barest of facts or corrosive misinformation.
It’s also the case that the road to success isn’t paved by angels, nor by blustering armchair critics, but by individuals who know how to work with others and get the task at hand done well.
If DeAngelo is such an individual, he should be welcome on the Oilers."

I admittedly haven't seen much of him or paid much attention to him, but what I do know is that he has some pretty high end offense. Not sure about his own zone - opinions seem to go from horrible to average. I'm guessing it's at least passable. And best of all IMO, he would be a pretty great insurance policy against Bouchard going down. Hell, even a great PP2 weapon as well.
For close to league minimum, I see this as the lowest risk and absolute highest reward option. I really believe this guy could be way better than Broberg would have been for us, for less than a quarter of the price. And again, at only 28, if he is a good fit, he could be here for a few years.
Ekholm - Bouchard
Nurse - DeAngelo
Kulak - Emberson
Stecher
Swap Emberson/DeAngelo/Stecher if one fits better with the other D partner, but I think that look not too bad.
And why did we sign Josh Brown to a 3 year deal?
