Hugo Carpentier

Prospect Grade: 5.5 C  (About Prospect Grades)

History

Carpentier was selected by the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in the third round of the 2004 Midget Draft, and made the team out of camp in his rookie season. He saw much of his ice-time on the fourth line, where he appeared in 49 games. He showed flashes of offensive talent, and these skills were put to the test in his sophomore season, where he was entrusted a spot on the top two lines. Carpentier did not disappoint, appearing in every game, and posting 70 points (31 of which were goals), good enough for third on the team in both categories.

Talent Analysis

Carpentier is a hard worker who has great consistency. A tenacious forechecker who gives his all every shift, Carpentier has good drive to the net and a strong finish. He also does not mind to throw his good size around. His foot speed is not very good, so he will have to work on his skating in a big way if he is to succeed at the next level.

Future

Carpentier’s desire, work ethic and strong skill set will be appealing come draft day, but his skating will likely be enough to dissuade many come draft day, given the emphasis on quickness in the post-lockout era.
