Laurent Dauphin's Player Profile

Dauphin had a good rookie season for Chicoutimi, displaying a high amount of upside. He is a skilled player with the puck, with the kind of soft touch and control that a top forward prospect needs. He has shiftiness in his game, as he is able to make quick movements with his feet and hands. He couples strong acceleration with a good top gear. He is quality passer who makes nice saucer distributions, and he can make plays with limited time and space. Dauphin's main area of improvement will have to come from his strength level. He can easily be pushed off of picks, and he has an undeveloped frame. Despite that, he has a good on-ice work ethic, and he battles and backchecks well. His physicality should progress with time.

Has steadily improved in his rookie season and had a coming out party at the CHL Top Prospects Game… Above average skater with good puck protection skills for a slight player… Quick release and above average vision… Has shown an ability to score some high-end dynamic goals this year.
