I thought Lavoie looked very good last night, for a big guy his skating is exceptional. He showed nice poise with the puck and was on White's PP1. Overall a solid night that will likely bring his stock up a bit. If you compare him to a guy like Yakemchuck who is ranked by many high in round 1, Lavoie matches his size and his Defensive play, what's missing is the willingness to take a few more offensive risks and shoot the puck on every opportunity.
Lavoie's game is coming together, watching this kid grow into an Elite D-Man while wearing the Eagle on his chest is fun to watch.

I think if his Offensive Game ever catches up with his Defensive Side then the Sky's the Limit for him . This NHL Draft is so Heavy on Defencemen that if he goes in the 1st Round it would be amazing and if he slides to the 2nd Round it is still quite an accomplishment .

Was a good game to assess baselines on many players against their talented peers. He did a nice job and stayed within his skill set. NHL scouts are deciding where he will land in the draft. Lots of time left and play offs will lend itself to another lens where the pressure of the games means more. Lots of potential here. He will be a good NHLer at some point.
