Probability of Success

History

2009-10: Lagace played midget AAA hockey in Quebec with the Seminaire St-Francois Blizzard. Playing for the top team in the Quebec league, he split the goaltending duties with Sebastien Auger and in 22 games was 18-3 with a 1.86 goals against and .930 save percentage. In two playoff games he was 1-1 with a 3.55 goals against and .857 save percentage. Lagace was drafted by Prince Edward Island in the second round (20th overall) of the 2010 QMJHL Entry Draft.

2010-11: Lagace played in 18 games for the PEI Rocket as a backup to QMJHL veteran Evan Moshner in his first season of major junior hockey. He was 8-4 with 1 shutout and had a 3.59 goals against and .884 save percentage. The Rocket made the playoffs after finishing fourth in the Maritimes Division. Mosher started all five games in the playoffs.

2011-12: Lagace took over as the starter for the PEI Rocket in his second season; playing in 56 games. The Rocket had the QMJHL's worst record, winning just 19 games, and Lagace was 12-39 with 5 overtime losses and 1 shutout – finishing with a 4.51 goals against and .867 save percentage. Lagace attended Dallas' prospect camp and was signed to a three-year entry-level contract in July 2012.

Talent Analysis

Butterfly goalie with decent size and reflexes. Has a strong glove hand and uses his stick well along the ice. Still needs to improve and refine his movement in the crease. Has good pads and can stop a lot of shots down-low. Fairly compact and can be prone to allowing high shots. Rebound control is a concern as it is with most young goalies. Has had to withstand a copious amount of quality chances playing for Prince Edward Island (QMJHL) and hopefully he can keep a cool demeanor and learns quickly not to get down on himself for giving up goals.

Future

Will return to the PEI Rocket (QMJHL) in 2012-13.

Despite some major graduations from the junior ranks in recent years, the Dallas Stars pipeline continues to churn mightily, especially at forward. The Stars feature some of the finest forwards in their respective leagues including Brett Ritchie and Radek Faksa in the OHL and Matej Stransky out west. The impressive amount of professional-level depth that the Stars have at forward will soon be augmented by these recently-drafted prospects that could fill a variety of roles within the organization. On the back line, Troy Vance is the lone junior prospect for Dallas and his progression has been that of race-winners – slow and steady. In all, the Stars have eight prospects at the major junior level.

In the first edition of On the Rush for the 2012-13 season, we take a look at prospects either excelling at their respective levels of play as well as those players who are not quite living up to expectations. This month we take a look at how the NHL lockout is impacting prospects playing in the minor leagues and junior levels and also discuss several top performers from the recent Subway Super Series between Team Russia and the CHL's top players.

After a series of very promising drafts, the Dallas Stars prospect pipeline is glowing radiantly as hockey seasons across the Northern Hemisphere begin to get their respective sea legs before the ponds freeze over this winter. Still lacking a stable full of blue-chip stallions, the club from Dallas can trot out an impressive lineup of high quality players at any position.
