After being traded from Oshawa to Kingston at the beginning of last month, Desrocher’s season outlook has changed significantly. He went from being a top player on a middling team immersed in a rebuild to being stabilizing veteran on a team with aspirations of a very deep playoff run. In Oshawa, Desrocher was leading the team in minutes played, lining up on the top power play and penalty killing units and getting an opportunity to contribute offensively that he had not been afforded in the past.
Following the trade to Kingston, he has not scored in 14 games but has added five assists.
