2014-2015 recap:
Alexis Pepin has played for three different teams in the Q over the past two seasons. Still recovering from a shoulder injury, he missed a chunk of the season, before joining the action in October. Pepin has not shown much improvement since last year and the questions on work-ethic and consistency remain. The tools are visibly there but it does not seem like he can convert them to a more mature game.

2015-2016 outlook:
Pepin will need much time to develop in juniors. Do not expect him to join the pros anytime soon.
