The 23-year-old has had an excellent season with 16 goals and 32 points in 30 games for the Bears. A sniper, Lappin has an excellent shot and lightning quick release. He also has the soft hands to finish plays in tight, whether those be via tip-in or deflection. Lappin can also play the role of playmaker. He stickhandles well and uses his frame to protect the puck, extending plays on the cycle and then firing a pass to a teammate. He could stand to bulk up if he is going to continue to play this game at the next level. That said while he appears to be extremely skinny, he’s been tougher to knock off the puck than you would think, with good balance, and the instinct to roll away from hits. He’s not afraid to play the game physical either, getting in quickly on the forecheck.
