Derrick LaPoint Blurb

Hockey's Future has Derrick LaPoint ranked 14th in the latest Florida Panthers Top 20 Prospect List. Here's a part of their blurb on LaPoint:

.....Well-known for his passing and puckhandling proficiency, LaPoint also carries a 6'3 175 lb. frame that helps him play his two-way game. He plans to spend this season with the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL before playing college hockey at North Dakota in 2007. It will be interesting to see how well his high-caliber high school offense translates into the more difficult USHL and eventually NCAA games, however it appears this savvy blueliner has the needed tools to eventually do well.
