Gilbert Delorme

What strikes me about Gilbert Delorme is not the first-round pedigree but the journeyman arc that followed. Drafted 18th overall by the storied Montreal Canadiens in 1981, he ended up suiting up for five NHL clubs, a defenceman who kept finding a roster that needed his services. I have a soft spot for blueliners like him: their value lives in the work nobody applauds, breaking up rushes and clearing the crease rather than lighting the lamp. Players who keep getting traded yet keep getting signed are quietly telling you something real about their professionalism. Delorme reads to me as a craftsman, and I respect that deeply.

Gilbert Delorme (born November 25, 1962) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who was a defenceman for five NHL teams. He played for the Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues, Quebec Nordiques, Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins. Delorme was born in Boucherville, Quebec.
