And his first name? His parents heard it in the movie "The Three Musketeers", loved it & went with it.

Oh man....they didnt even get it from the almost 200 year old Dumas book? They heard it on the movie which, as I recall, was pretty rough?
Oh well, at least when he makes the team naming his line will be fun.

By the time he makes the team we might have Wotherspoon on the blueline and then before every game the team can chant the Battle Cry!!

About a million.
But I did like Rebecca De Mornay's breast impression of Lady D'winter in the 1993 version.

All together? Over 20 probably, there's several from the silent film era alone, and it's been filmed in many countries. There's at least half a dozen Hollywood productions.
Famous versions include a 1948 Gene Kelly film, which was very influential for it's fight scenes, and the 1973 version is IMO by far the best. Faye Dunaway as Milady de Winter is one of the ultimate femme fatales in film history if you ask me. The sequel is just as good and I highly recommend both these films if you haven't seem them. (EDIT: I tend to remember it as a trilogy for some reason, but it's just two films.)
The 1921 Douglas Fairbanks film is I believe a classic of the silent film era, and had a sequel too.
Recent versions include the 1993 version with Charlie Sheen and Kiefer Sutherland, which sucks, and the 2011 version, which was pretty far from the original books and introduced airship battles into the plot. Wasn't very good but it was entertainingly campy.

Sinner I actually liked the 1993 version.
don't forget that the 3 muskateers have been in a lot of other movies as well. The Man in the Iron Mask was pretty much a Muskateers movie.
The Douglas Fairbanks movie is actually a must watch if your into watching silent films.

That's acceptable, as long as you recognize the obvious superiority of the 70's films

Seems like a decent pick for the 6th round, possibly even better than the Fischer pick.
The D'artagnan name is just a bonus. I hope he makes the NHL in any capacity just to hear his name called.

The fact that D'Arcy / Bingo retweeted this is the icing on the cake:

I know nothing about the player but hot damn what a name! Great pick!
Also, another movie came to mind when hearing he is the youngest of seven brothers.
Any chance his father is also a seventh son?
