Over the last few days, as we reported, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman used his veto power to cancel a major transaction that was concluded between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Carolina Hurricanes.

"The NHL stepped in to prevent DeAngelo from returning to Carolina because they believe the Hurricanes are trying to circumvent the league's salary cap rules.

The NHL disputed the fact that DeAngelo was traded within the year following the original trade, with a salary retention on top of it. The Flyers and the Hurricanes argue that this doesn't matter because the contract was signed by Philadelphia."

"Tony DeAngelo will still be traded to Carolina.

Don Waddell confirmed that an agreement remains in place with Daniel Brière and must wait until after July 7.

The Flyers would receive a prospect and retain 50% of DeAngelo's salary."

DeAngelo, 27, amassed 42 points in 70 games last season, and 51 points in 64 matches in his most recent season with the Carolina Hurricanes.
