Brooks: Flames Interested in DeAngelo

Larry Brooks of the New York Post reports that the Calgary Flames have expressed preliminary interest in defenseman Tony DeAngelo.

He further reports that Sam Bennett’s name has come up in talks between the two clubs.

DeAngelo cleared waivers on Monday so any deal involving the two players would have to involve the Rangers sweetening the deal, by salary retention or by other means. The Rangers could conceivably take back Derek Ryan’s contract in such a deal.

As Brooks notes, if the Flames were to trade for DeAngelo, he would be subject to a 14-day quarantine after crossing the border.
