Pascal Laberge

June 2018 – After 68 points in 56 games in 2015-16, Laberge was drafted in the second round by the Flyers. But in two seasons since then he hasn’t even come close to that kind of production, regressing rather than building. Still a long ways to go, and he’s not going to be a scoring-line player. Dobber

June 2016 – Laberge made a decent run at becoming a first-round selection with his play during the second half of the year for Victoriaville. The former second overall pick in the QMJHL draft produced 26 points in 15 games after returning from an impressive Top Prospects Game – finishing the season with 23 goals and 68 points in 56 games. While his goal totals don’t jump off the page, a nagging wrist injury hindered his shot for a good portion of the year. Laberge plays a gritty, skilled game and does not shy away from taking the puck into the middle of the ice. He has a heavy shot with a quick release, strong passes, and possesses decent vision. He has quick acceleration that he uses to get in on the forecheck quickly and create separation during a foot race. – Cam Robinson
