Deslauriers to defense????

[Onceagain]

Des was originally drafted as a D man by LA but was switched to forward. DDB just started the game tonight against Carolina with Deslauriers Oreilly and Carrier, in which Carolina possessed the puck in our zone the entire time (really DDB??). I don't think he's great at puck possession and he doesn't have the skill to be a regular forward in this lineup. Why not try him back at D? He has a big frame, skates fairly well, can't imagine he'd be much worse than our current 5th and 6th defensemen. Thoughts? Anyone know the story about why LA switched him from D to forward in the first place?

He sucked as D Man too

Dlo to Elmira. Yeah that's the ticket

[inkman]

If hes not addressing fools like Boychuk last night he has no place. He needs to be wrecking fools nightly. I want other teams to hate him and avoid him. Right now, no one cares.

Couldn't agree more with this statement

Dlo is too slow

Dlo is too slow

It's like he's trying to skate in quicksand.

I don't think I've ever seen it spelled like that.

Yeah, he's not long for this team.... Idk why he's in there when we have other viable options.
