Utah selected Desnoyers fourth overall after finishing last season with a 38-31-13 record and climbing 10 spots in the draft lottery to secure the pick.
While Desnoyers' promising rookie season has been temporarily delayed due to injury, his dedication to recovery and his natural talent suggest he'll return stronger than ever.
The Mammoth and their fans are eager to see him back on the ice, ready to continue building on the impressive foundation he established last season. If he can fully recover, Desnoyers has the potential to become a cornerstone for Utah's future and a key player in the league for years to come.
