Still growing in his own offensive prowess, you cannot argue with what he brings as a top quality puck distributor. Superior jump in his feet and mobility while always holding possession in his dangles. Adjusts body and moves to where the openings are and angles away from opposing defenders. Strong on his edging and can stop/start/re-route himself in no time at all. Shows up to support on most plays, and will fearlessly go to the net. It was thought that he ahd suffered three concussion in three years t"he experts can't be 100 per cent certain, it's possible that Lapierre only sustained one concussion and the other problems this season were the direct result of the vertebrae issue being re-aggravated.

While he is probably going to be put under the microscope before some team commits in the first round, as yes he is wild card, but...maybe a real value if he can hold up. He is a smart playmaker who is always around the puck driving the play, finding his wingers and always willing to go to the front and scoring areas. This kid is still growing, filling out and getting healthy, and really has some giddy-up.
