""I like our team a lot," DeAngelo said. "I don't really care what anybody has to say about it, all these stupid rankings they put out there and whatever. But we've got to go out there and prove it. It starts with a good training camp.""
""I think we have a good team," DeAngelo says. "I think Lou (Lamoriello) did a really good job. I think he doesn't get enough credit. He kind of set this team up. He still gave us assets and reloaded the prospect pipeline, and Darche came in and did a real good job.""
Tony DeAngelo joined the Islanders from the KHL and added an offensive element to the blue line. Noah Dobson was traded to the Montreal Canadiens, increasing expectations that DeAngelo will provide season-long scoring and potentially quarterback the top power play unit. The Islanders missed the 2024–25 playoffs, and many project the team to miss the postseason again. DeAngelo expressed a desire to remain on Long Island and emphasized proving doubters through a strong training camp. The off-season featured GM Mathieu Darche adding three first-round prospects and Jonathan Drouin, while Lou Lamoriello laid groundwork and reloaded the prospect pipeline. DeAngelo, 29, signed a one-year deal aiming for a longer-term contract.
