I read somewhere that this year's QMJHL draft class is as good as last year's. Let's hope so.

I doubt it but it will be a good one. Patrick Guay also started well for Magog last weekend with 6 points in 2 games.

No, but 03 is the best in a while.

 

[penaltykiller]

4 powerplay assists tonight. He now has 14 pts in 6 games.

 

[grentthealien]

He was drafted 1st overall by Chicoutimi I’m surprised there isn’t much discussion about him. Anyone know anything about this kid? How does he stack up for the 2020 draft?

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

And yes, his name is partially inspired by Jimi Hendrix.

Partially inspired? I don't know of too many other potential sources of inspiration who spell that name with an X at the end.

 

[aigledefeu]

He was interviewed right after thé draft and he Said (in french) that it was awesome to be drafted by Rimouski

Lapierre :

« Mes parents se sont inspirés un peu de Jimi Hendrix, mais ce n'est pas vraiment pour ça que je m'appelle comme ça. Ils trouvaient surtout ça original. »

Hendrix Lapierre: un nom à retenir

"My parents were inspired a bit by Jimi Hendrix, but that's not really why I'm called like that. They thought it was original."

Sick name

Sick name

Agreed one of the reasons I’m pulling for him lol Do you have anything on him Lays? He seems really under hyped for a 1st overall draft pick.

I don’t really pay attention to guys in the next draft. So much can change that it’s almost pointless, I start really getting into it the year of the draft. Only guys I’ve seen in the 2020 draft are Lafreniere, Byfield, Holtz and a little of Rossi

Hometown boy

 

[Breakfast of Champs]

Great skater, fast and strong edge work as well , this guy is an excellent playmaker who can finish if needed.

Haven't seen him personally but scouts I have talked to like his upside as both a Q and NHL prospect.

 

[Wintersun]

Watched him all year and was by far my favorite in Midget AAA. Elite playmaker, excellent creativity offensively. Has great speed and hands and is dangerous off the rush. Love his overall game as well, he's a pickpocket who plays the game the right way. Not very physical but protects the puck well, has progressed a lot during the year. I think he has great upside, but we'll have to see how it translates to the Q level. Can't wait to see him again.

 

[Number 57]

Listed at 6'0 and 166 lbs on the QMJHL website now

Seems like he is having a great camp with Chicoutimi. Having seen his progress since Bantam, I believe Lapierre can be talked as a potential top-10 pick in 2020. He does everything well on the ice, has elite offensive skills and hockey sense, and is developping at a rapid pace.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

1G 6A in his first 5 QMJHL games

 

[grentthealien]

10 points in his first 8 games. 1g 9 a I take it he’s more of a playmaker?Anyone watching him? I’d love to hear about how he’s playing.

 

[belair]

What an awful name. Sounds like one of those auto-generated names for the later drafts in NHL 19.

 

[Dominance]

What an awful name. Sounds like one of those auto-generated names for the later drafts in NHL 19.

It’s certainly unique. If this kid keeps playing like this, you’ll hear the monstrosity early on next year’s draft day.

Definitely more of a playmaker, he doesn't shoot a lot. Very creative player with the puck who could develop a solid two-way game as well. I've only watched him a couple times in the Q and his hockey sense shone through every time he stepped on the ice. Love him.

 

[Speyer]

Almost the same stat line as Lafrenière while being half a year younger. Top 10 potential for 2020?

 

[Killerjas]

Lafreniere vs. Lapierre. Battle of the "La's".

In all serious, I can see this guy going in the top 15 of the 2020 draft if he continues to grow a few centimeters and grow as a player.

 

[montreal]

scored a nice goal tonight, 2nd time seeing him and i've been impressed. Could be a decent draft for the Q in '20.
