The second day of the NHL Draft was just as busy as day one in terms of trades and news.
For Capitals fans, Vitek Vanecek’s trade to the New Jersey Devils for two draft picks was the headliner, but there were several other newsworthy moves that went down on the floor of Centre Bell.
Most of the time the New York Rangers’ Ryan Reaves is a supreme annoyance to Caps fans but on Tuesday night during Game Four he trolled the mess out of Carolina Hurricanes right wing defenseman Tony DeAngelo and then laughed in his face.
Everyone liked that.

The Washington Capitals got Lars Eller back for Sunday’s Carolina Hurricanes game after the Danish center spent 10 days quarantining and battling symptoms of the disease in a California hotel room. No other Capitals player tested positive during that time and Eller was unsure when he contracted the virus exactly.
Now the Capitals will have to remain extra vigilant as the Carolina Hurricanes announced that after their game against Washington that Tony DeAngelo and Brett Pesce have entered COVID protocol themselves.

After losing to AEW in the Wednesday Night War, WWE’s “third brand”, NXT, underwent a revamp, and on Tuesday, they debuted NXT 2.0. The rebranding saw WWE update NXT’s logo, colors, and set. The show also went younger and many new wrestlers debuted.
One rookie grappler had a vignette drop to introduce his character and it likely gave many hockey fans across North America a wry smile.
The wrestler is an Italian wannabe with apparent family connections to the mob. His name is Tony D’Angelo. And you guys, he’s kind of an ass.

The New York Rangers put right wing defenseman Tony DeAngelo on waivers in a shocking, but not all that surprising move on Sunday.
