After point-per-game seasons in Juniors (with the Halifax Mooseheads and Chicoutimi Sagueneens) and the AHL (Bakersfield Condors and Henderson Silver Knights), and coming very close to that with Sweden's Vasby IK at age 21, Raphaël Lavoie has seemingly now secured a role in the NHL with the Vegas Golden Knights. He even scored his first career NHL goal - which ended up being the game-winner - on October 27th against the Ottawa Senators. He has suited up for 11 games so far this year, playing about 10 minutes per.

Internationally, he has won a gold medal in a secondary role with Team Canada at the 2020 World Juniors, posting two assists in seven games.

Here he is wearing the Mooseheads' red (away) uniform, on card #70 from Upper Deck's 2018-19 CHL set:

He signed it in blue sharpie. I had sent it to him via the Edmonton Oilers (who had drafted him 38th overall in 2019) in 2021 or 2022 and received it back in 2024.
