With these moves, the team shows that they are confident in the team they have now. All they needed was a bit more depth on the bottom-six.
Desharnais is a solid two-way player, and a good forward to have down the middle. He is a good skater and knows how to take care of and control the puck. In addition to his prowess, he tries to improve his game on the fly and is never afraid to jump into the rush.
While he lacks size, the 30-year-old is a versatile forward who has decent faceoff numbers and will certainly benefit the team moving forward.
