Brewin Flames Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Deslauriers traded to Wild by Ducks Anaheim receives third-round pick in 2023 NHL Draft for forward NHL.com @NHLdotcom 5:54 PM Nicolas Deslauriers was traded to the Minnesota Wild by the Anaheim Ducks for a third-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft on Saturday. "Seems to fit the Minnesota Wild. Plays a hard game. Plays gritty. He's got a skill set, too, that can score," Wild coach Dean Evason said. "Is going to provide us with size (6-foot-1, 220 pounds) and bite and play up and down our lineup. We're excited. Certainly a guy that we've identified for a bit now that's a pain in the butt to play against. He'll now be a Minnesota Wild pain in the butt." The 31-year-old forward scored 10 points (five goals, five assists) and had 90 penalty minutes in 61 games for the Ducks this season. He can become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. Selected in the third round (No. 84) of the 2009 NHL Draft by the Los Angeles Kings, Deslauriers has scored 82 points (41 goals, 41 assists) wiith 498 penalty minutes in 486 games with the Buffalo Sabres, Montreal Canadiens and Ducks.
