Scouting Report

Assets:	Likes to stir the pot every shift and can get opponents off their game. Skates well. Is sound defensively and owns the versatility to play either center or wing.
Flaws:	Tends to back down from physical challenges, and sometimes his on-ice antics backfire. Doesn't score enough to play a top-six role at the highest level.
Career Potential:	Agitating, versatile forward.

Impact

"I've been doing a lot of thinking," Lapierre said. "It's going to be a physical game when we get back playing and I don't think I'm going to talk as much on the ice. I even think I'm not even going to talk at all. I'm going to play my role and play physical. Do what I have to do and get back to the bench."
