2019 NHL Draft: New York Islanders select center Felix Bibeau at 178

In the sixth round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, the New York Islanders selected their second center, Felix Bibeau at 178th overall.

Bibeau plays for Rouyn-Noranda of the QMJHL, where he won a league and Memorial Cup championship with fellow Islanders prospect Noah Dobson. The left-shooting center is listed at 6’0, 187 lbs.

At 20, he’s an overager who has been passed over in recent drafts. He put up 62 points (22-40) in 2017-18 and 69 points (28-41) in 2018-19.

This follows Friday night’s selection of Swedish winger Simon Holmstrom at 23, their second round pick at #57, big QMJHL defenseman Samuel Bolduc, and center Reece Newkirk of Portland (WHL).

The Islanders have one more pick to go, 209th overall in the seventh round.
