Deschamps on pace for record(?) worst season

 

Seattle, Wash. -- With a mere one assist through 22 games, fans in Seattle are curious if rookie center Maxime Deschamps will ever find the back of the net. If the first sample size is any indication, he may very well not.

 

Playing on the team's fourth line, Deschamps has managed only 13 shots on goal thus far - a very concerning number. Perhaps even more concerning is the fact that linemate Jace Hines has also managed only a single point to his name - albeit a goal - making the team's fourth line essentially all but anemic when it comes to creating offense.

 

That said, the team doesn't seem overly concerned as Deschamps just signed a five-year contract extension with the team that will be poised to see him play out his entire VHL career in the Pacific Northwest. While fans may find the move curious, locking the French-born center up to a very team friendly cap hit could prove to be a bargain in the long run. 

 

But for what Deschamps is paid to do as a defensive role player, surely fans wouldn't be adverse to seeing him score at least once.
