Derek Joslin only played 17 games with the Carolina Hurricanes during the 2010-2011 season, but many fans quickly saw that he could be a good second or third pairing defenseman for years to come. He only posted 5 points (1G, 4A) in those 17 games, but had a +7 rating and only 2 PIMs. The 6’1”, 210-pound, Richmond Hill, Ontario native joined the Canes after being traded by the San Jose Sharks for “future considerations,” which in hockey speak, pretty much means “just a little more than a bag of pucks or two.” The 24 year old was a 5^th round pick, 149^th overall by the San Jose Sharks in the 2005 NHL entry draft and has only played a total of 70 games in the NHL, registering 12 points (2G, 10A) and a +3 rating.
