Nick Deslauriers plays F for Manchester....
On Deslauriers:
That's from before the year. He played this season up front
Update: The Sabres also sent forward Jonathan Parker to the Kings. That’s them getting rid of a contract. The second-round picks – 2014 and 2015 – came from Los Angeles in last year’s Robyn Regehr trade.----Hoppe
Nick Deslauriers plays F for Manchester....
On Deslauriers:
played out two of those three seasons in the AHL, and has continued to strengthen his reputation as an offensive force over that time. Deslauriers led the Monarchs defense in scoring last season, and in four playoff games he led the whole squad in points. He also is what the old-timey scouts would call a character guy. He earned the moniker #EmotionalLeader (yep, just dropping hashtags in the player review) from the Manchester Monarchs' Twitter account, by showing a willingness to drop the gloves and playing with a full head of steam in all zones.

That's not even getting to his physical gifts. He's an offensive defenseman with SIZE; whether he is actually 230 pounds is anyone's guess, but he at least fits the Muzzin/Martinez mold of offensive guys who could learn to throw their weight around. Additionally, Deslauriers pairs that with great offensive skills; Hockey's Future goes so far as to call him a "wizard" with the puck, while a more conservative Mark Morris has referred to him as a beautiful skater with a strong shot and good passing abilities.
