With the 27th pick in this year's draft, the Tampa Bay Lightning are pleased to select, from the Victoriaville Tigres in the QMJHL, forward Pascal Laberge!
Almost a coin flip between Laberge and Swedish center Rasmus Asplund, but given that the Lightning already have their fair share of smallish forwards, Laberge makes more sense at this point in my opinion. A skilled forward with high hockey IQ and decent size, Laberge can play both in the middle and on the right side and will therefore give the Lightning some valuable depth up front.
