Cagnoni is expected to be paired with Vincent Desharnais, a 6-foot-7 defenseman who more than makes up for Cagnoni's 5-foot-9 stature. He's also getting some advice from Desharnais, who has played in this league for a few seasons now. "Couple things from the D. Vinnie, my partner, just telling me to communicate because it's obviously tough just jumping in and just playing with the new guys and stuff, so just trying to talk that out," said Cagnoni. "A lot of people saying just have fun with it, just play my game."
