This will be DiSalvatore's second season in Houston, where he was captain last season. That honor hasn't been assigned yet (rotating three alternates for now), so it remains to be seen if the C lands on him again. What I would expect is another 50-ish point season with 20-ish goals.

You can pretty much set your watch to his point totals, so there's no secret about what you're getting when you sign him. Add in the veteran presence and leadership and he's a good guy to have around this young bunch. And it does seem like he's clicking in Yeo's system as he's already got 2 points in 2 games.

This is another 2 year deal, like I praised in Senator Peters' profile, and I like that move just as much with DiSalvatore. He's been in a new city nearly every year for the last 7 years (2 years in Peoria), so the ability to keep some momentum and chemistry in an organization for 3 straight years has to benefit his game, not to mention his life.
