Laurent Dauphin can do everything. He doesn't stop and is a very hard worker. He's a smooth skater,very agile,with great hands. Strong puck skills. Very quick release with decent accuracy. He's creative and his vision is exceptional .Speed and versatility are his biggest strengths. Hs offensive game is high and while his defensive game isn't bad , it could be worked on. He's not the biggest kid and will need to fill out before making the jump to pro but he has a couple of years to do so. Could also improve in the circle , although he wasn't bad for a 17 year old rookie. He'll tell you himself he'll have to bring more physically as well.
I say there's a %70 chance he makes it as an NHL regular. I see top-6 upside and I'm not sure he'd be effective in a bottom6 role. 25 goal , 50 points projection. He draws some comparison to Matthew Lombardi.
Expect him to have a big year in Chicoutimi.
