Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2007-08: In Berube's second full season with the Royun-Noranda Huskies, he improved greatly on his totals from 2006-07, by scoring 12 goals and 12 assists in 64 games. Berube also accumulated 118 PIM's this year. He was then chosen by the Devils in the last round of the 2007-08 NHL draft.
2008-09: It was a good year of development for the 18-year-old Berube, as he was able to contribute in a variety of ways this season for the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. While he didn't shatter any career highs statistically, he still showed slight improvement in most categories, including a team-leading 143 PIM's. In 64 games, he scored 15 goals and added 11 assists, to go along with a -8 plus/minus rating.
Talent Analysis
Berube plays a physical brand of hockey, and will become even more effective in that facet of his game once he fills out. He's also shown ability to be more than just a fighter as evidenced by his improvement in his offensive output.
Future
Berube is slowly, but surely developing into a very well-rounded prospect. While the Devils know that he's one of the top fighters in the league, he's shown the ability to chip in offensively as well, which bodes very well for his future. One-dimensional enforcers are becoming extinct in the NHL, being replaced by more well-rounded players who can contribute in all areas. With that all being said, Berube will likely use his last two years of junior eligibility to continue to make gains in his all-around play and earn himself an NHL contract.
