Introduction: The defenseman-turned-forward found himself playing all over the lineup this season, from fourth line energy guy to top line winger thanks to a rash of injuries. While he didn't quite fit all of those roles as well as he could have, Deslauriers is very good at the things he does well - mainly, anything that has to do with hitting or punching. He also adds a tiny bit of offensive upside, and as long as he isn't asked to do too much, should have a place on this team next season.
