Flames Sign Louick Marcotte

Word from a number of sources on Twitter suggest the Flames have signed 21-year old QMJHL forward Louick Marcotte. The 6'1", 200 pound RW was the leading scorer of the Gatineau Olympiques this year, managing 36 goals and 40 assists in 76 games.

Marcotte had a very steep development curve during his junior career. He wasn't really on the radar in his draft season, managing just 22 points in 64 games. His numbers rapidly improved after that however, with jumps to 54, 100 and 76 points in each subsequent season. His turn as Anthony Mantha's right hand man (which led to Marcotte's 100 point season last year) finally caught the interest of some scouts, but it wasn't enough to get him drafted.
