The 20-year-old left shot defenseman has NHL size at 6-foot-2 and 186-pounds. He’s also a left shot, which is addresses a need for the Wild going forward.
Recording 51 points (15G-36A) this season with the Shawinigan Cataractes, Labbe finished the season tied for 3rd among all QMJHL defensemen in goals and 6th in points. That said, the Q is an offense heavy league.
Labbe will report to the Iowa Wild on an Amateur tryout for the remainder of this season before his entry-level deal kicks in at the start of the 2015-2016 season.
