After debuting at No. 18 on these rankings last go-around (and slipping to 19 at the midterm), Pascal Laberge was primed for a big 2016-17 season after being drafted 36th overall in the 2016 NHL Draft. If there are constants in hockey (and life), is that there are just folks who just want to watch the world burn. In this case, deliver a dirty, homicidal hit to an unsuspecting player. It’s a play that shouldn’t be taught nor rewarded anywhere and unfortunately Pascal Laberge’s 16-17 season dealt with more lows than highs because of it.
