Who is the highest ranked Wildcat for next year's draft? I wouldn't have guessed right. Hint: If you think too much about it, you're going to get a headache. www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=28188 |

15. Hubert Labrie 5'11 165lbs
If it wasn't for his size, Labrie would be much higher on that list. If he had the size of Despres or even Kulikov he would be ranked #1 on that list IMO.

Labrie doesn't have the skill level of Kulikov or Despres. It's not just about size, I don;t find Labrie to be a great prospect. |

They are usually the most out of sync of all the scouting services, although their top 5 is pretty accurate though I would add Gelinas and substract Lemieux. The Q keeps producing d-men and few goalies...12 of the top 20 players are d-men and out of the goalies only Bellavance-Roy will go in the top 4-5 rounds. I think you'll see Kulikov Despres Roy Nestrasil Anthony Gilbert Gelinas Paradis Caron Roussel all go in the top 2 rounds. |

Labrie doesn't have the skill level of Kulikov or Despres. It's not just about size, I don;t find Labrie to be a great prospect. labrie is strictly a defensive defenseman, and as mentioned if he were a little bigger he would be right up there with despres, but not for the same reason. my guess is you haven't seen labrie play live too much to say he's not that good of a prospect. |

Stay at home d-men with below average size don't go early in the NHL draft. He'll either go lare or be a camp invite in the mould of Ouimet from BC. |
