Kubby31 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 The Montreal Canadiens have signed free-agent forward <a href="http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/?name=philippe+lefebvre" target="_blank">Philippe Lefebvre</a> to a three-year contract. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Lefebvre, 18, won the 2009 QMJHL Championship with the Drummondville Voltigeurs at the Memorial Cup Tournament. In 2008-09, the Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, naitive finished sixth among Drummondville skaters with a plus- 31 rating in 68 regular-season games. Selected in the first round, second overall by Drummondville at the 2007 QMJHL Draft, Lefebvre was invited to the Canadiens' development Camp in July. He was also invited to the club's rookie camp and the main training camp. // Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utreder Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 That's awesome. I bet Boucher being part of our staff had a lot to do with this. We've grabbed three guys (Masse, Dumont, Lefebvre) off of Drummondville's Memorial Cup winning roster. I guess since he's only eighteen we can sort of count him among our draft picks. Louis Leblanc Joonas Nattinen Mac Bennet Alexander Avtsyn Gabriel Dumont Dustin Walsh Mike Cichy Petteri Simila Philippe Lefebvre That already looks like a good draft class to me. And THREE Quebecois players there, nothing for the French media to complain about. Got to get me some Voltigeurs/Mooseheads tickets and post some reviews on these guys.

SteenIsThaFuture Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I like Phillipe, hes a guy whose probably destined to start off in Cincinatti, but hes the kinda signing I want the Habs to get. He has a roof of a high-end checker, he plays hard, he plays smart and is good defensively. His raw skillset is what kept him from getting drafted.

He has a roof of a high-end checker, he plays hard, he plays smart and is good defensively. His raw skillset is what kept him from getting drafted. Exactly. These are the types of moves that could pay high dividends in the future & something we got away from over the past decade. This is the type of move that in the past got us guys like Mike Keane. Will Lefebvre work out? I dont know - but still a nice, complimentary move by mr gainey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Lefebvre work out? I dont know - but still a nice, complimentary move by mr gainey. I had Lefebvre high on my board before the Draft (and by high I mean like around 100ish), I really was surpised he wasn't taken. IMO he has a decent chance to be a NHL'er and at the very least a marginal one. how do you know? The kid was 17 recently, a growth spurt could explain things, Because I'm looking at his weigh-in from the spring supplied by ISS. He had no combine weigh-in though because he wasn't invited. A 15 pound gain over a handful of months would be quite alarming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA_Champion Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Every year, the habs sign an undrafted Quebec player who is under 6 feet tall. Beauregard, Desharnais, O. Latendresse, Masse, and now Lefebvre, and whoever else I'm forgetting. The strategy is low risk, is there any precedent to believe it is *not* low reward?

Latendresse, Masse, and now Lefebvre, and whoever else I'm forgetting. The strategy is low risk, is there any precedent to believe it is *not* low reward? True, true! I somehow don't think we will see much of Lefebvre in the future. If, at some time, he turns out to be a decent 4th line player, then all the better. For now I am expecting him to have a career in the ECHL or the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it may not be the greatest of precdent for all of you, but I believed Lefebvre was a 4th-5th rounder in this years draft, so it could be low risk possible medium reward.

S-Bah Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Well Lefebvre has 7 goals and 6 assists in 8 games for the Montreal Juniors, playing with Louis Leblanc seems to be a good thing for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
