HabsRuleForever Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Canadiens acquire Nicolas Deslauriers from Buffalo who was sent to Laval. The Sabres get defenseman Zach Redmond in return https://www.nhl.com/canadiens/news/canadiens-acquire-nicolas-deslauriers-in-exchange-for-defenseman-zach-redmond/c-291561936 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maas_art Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Interesting. Lets hope Deslauriers is the answer to CJ's need for a physical prescence (meaning we wont sign a goon like chris neil as some media outlets have suggested). He's got decent-to-average skills for a grinder - although id rather have kept our 4th line skilled. That said we probably had no room for Redmond (especially with Juulsen likely getting close) so it is what it is. I presume this means the end of Martinsen...

kinot-2 Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 He was sent to Laval. For being a winger, he only has 30 PTs. in 300 GP. Nothing to write home about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only played 211 games. But yes he's not a scorer for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTed3 Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 This is in theory a nothing trade of two minor leaguers. Hopefully, we don't ever have to rely on the likes of Deslauriers or Redmond to play on our roster because it's trouble if we do. If the plan is to use him as a veteran minor leaguer, then fine. But in no way is he an asset we should be counting on to do something for our NHL team nor do I wish to see him take away ice time in the AHL from players we're developing.

jwlk Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 would have preferred a draft pick, Deslauriers is a waste of a pick up and roster spot anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
