Forwards Thomas Beauregard and David Desharnais had their options picked up by Hamilton, after both enjoyed successful seasons in the ECHL. Beauregard, 22 years old, managed 31 Goals, 65 Points, a +17 in 59 Games, and scored another 9 Goals, 15 Points, in 19 Playoff games; the past season was his first as a pro. Desharnais, 21 years old, managed 29 G, 106 Pts to lead the ECHL in scoring, while adding 9 Goals, 33 Points in 22 playoff games for Cincinnati.

Both players were key contributors to leading Cincinnati to winning the ECHL playoffs, and should be in line to contribute to the Hamilton offence, while trying to force the Habs management to take notice and offer them a chance in the NHL in the future.

Looking forward to Beauregard. Desharnis is 21 and only 5'6 at 177 pounds. He puts up points but man that is small. Is he maby bigger now?

Both are still the same size. These guys have nothing left to prove in the ECHL. They both dominated and helped the Cyclones win the Kelly Cup.

Desharnais short AHL stint worries me since he didn't do so well. Hopefully, things will change for next season.

Not the same path but Eric Perrin(5.9 now 176) and Martin St-Louis(5.9 now 185) both were too small for NHL standards.

Patrick Kane is what 5.10 170

Talent should not be overlooked at every size.

Great to see offensive talents growing in the system to feed the top prospects and maybe surprise us.

Yeah, if Perrin and P-M Bouchard (5-9 and barely 170 lbs) can be successful, Desharnais can hope the same. At least let's wait and see how he performs if given a real chance in the AHL, which he didnt get last year. He could eventually replace Locke, who is actually not much bigger, slower and lazier. J-M Daoust (Pens player) was on the same team, he's 5-7 and 154 and he spent the last half of the season in the AHL and managed to do well.

Beauregard also made a nice transition to the pros. Should be fun to see how he progresses.

There was a couple of Quebec kids on that team that actually showed some good stuff. Aubin, Latendresse, and Cedrik Desjardins all showed they might deserve a spot in Hamilton next year or at least somewhere in the AHL. Desjardins should replace Danis. And aside from Aubin, they're all invited-traded projects that are panning out better than expected.
