April 2013 – Delisle is a big, punishing defenseman not known for his scoring. He has spent most of his professional career in the ECHL, and while it is unlikely he makes an NHL impact, it is important to note that he was originally drafted by Columbus, but sent to New York in the Rick Nash trade. Columbus’ current GM, Kekalainen, was not part of the Blue Jackets staff when Delisle was drafted, but he seemed interested enough to bring him back to the organization.

Fantasy Outlook: D-

Delisle’s biggest asset is that he can be a physical, responsible defensive defenseman. Unfortunately for him, he hasn’t proven yet that he can play at a higher level, and there are plenty of players ahead of him on the depth chart.
