Fantasy Summary

Raw, skilled power forward with bottom six upside


Observations

April 2023 – Filipe had a bump in the road in his development this season, sustaining a lower-body injury in the preseason, which kept him off the ice for game action until April 6th. Filipe was sent to Maine in the ECHL after being cleared to play, putting up one goal and three assists in just three games to end the season. Filipe will likely be back with Providence next season if he stays healthy, but this missed year has caused many players to jump him on the depth chart, further clouding his chances of an NHL opportunity. Nate Duffett
March 2022 – The 24 year old Filipe has played 44 games with the Providence Bruins, notching six goals and nine assists for 15 points. He seems more likely to be an AHL contributor at this point. Alex Wyatt
March 2020 – Filipe has enjoyed an improved campaign this year for Northeastern, tallying a career-high points-per-game average of .75 (21 points in 28 games). It’s not out of the question that he will get a chance next year in Charlotte to play, but he might face an uphill battle to make an impact on an NHL roster within the next 2-3 years or so. Jack LeGwin

March 2019 – Filipe’s junior season at Northeastern has been up and down filled with flashes of offensive upside and some stagnant scoring stretches. Filipe has produced at a half-point per game clip in 2018-19, and is second on the Huskies in both power-play goals (3) and game-winning goals (4). He’ll need some AHL seasoning before we know if he can crack an NHL lineup. Kevin LeBlanc

July 2018 – After a good freshman campaign, Filipe struggled to produce the same offensive numbers in his sophomore season. His third season at Northeastern will be a big one, especially after top scorers Adam Gaudette, Dylan Sikura and Nolan Stevens have moved on to professional hockey. Filipe will have the opportunity to play big minutes and it should show on the score sheet. The young winger was always going to be a multiple year NCAA player, so this should be a turning point year in his development. Kevin LeBlanc

July 2017 – Filipe put together a solid freshman season at Northeastern, scoring nine times for the Huskies and adding 12 assists for 21 points. He really started to come into his own with 15 games remaining in his season, where he played at nearly a point-per-game rate with 14 points. Filipe should be relied upon more heavily in the fall with Zach Aston-Reese and John Stevens heading to professional hockey. Senior-to-be Dylan Sikura decided to return to Northeastern and should pair with Filipe to drive a good amount of the teams offense. Now settled after his freshman season, I expect Filipe to have a big sophomore year with more added responsibility. He is a player to watch for the Hurricanes in the future, as a big bodied winger with great speed and a north-south game.  Kevin LeBlanc

 

July 2016 – The Hurricanes continued their trend of drafting big, skilled forwards when taking Filipe in the third round. The USHL product put up modest numbers with the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders in his first season with 36 points in 56 games. Although he is raw, he possesses a good number of high-ceiling tools that could translate into a productive player as he continues to develop. He will attend Northeastern University next season, where he should be given multiple seasons to put all the pieces together. Kevin LeBlanc
