What is Hendrix Lapierre’s future with the Washington Capitals?
Hendrix Lapierre was the Washington Capitals first round selection in the 2020 draft. A pick that looked like a potential steal, Lapierre has vastly improved while also avoiding injuries since being picked.
A 6’0″ and 180 lbs build, Lapierre is an extremely skilled player who can play left wing or center. Lapierre was offensive rookie of the year in 2018 in the QMJHL, however with concussions in the next 2 seasons, the excitement for Lapierre as a player started to wear off. The Capitals front office still saw his potential and believed he still deserved to be a first rounder and he could be a great pick for the team with such a late pick.
