Félix Lacerte

June 2024 — Don’t be fooled by the 31 goals and 28 assists in Lacerte’s case — he is very much a playmaker, and would’ve had many more assists if his teammates could finish for him. At times, he was the sole offensive force on the Cataractes, showcasing intelligent reads, high-end vision and versatile playmaking skill on every shift. There’s a significant lack of consistency in Lacerte’s game, on top of a lack of explosiveness and physicality, but his chess-like approach to the game makes him a worthy shout to be a third-line distributor who facilitates offensive plays for his teammates, whether at center or on the wing. Hadi Kalakeche
