Q-Draft Complete
With the QMJHL draft complete, was wondering if anyone has gotten any extensive viewings and/or info on the top-end guys. With the only coverage being in French I had trouble getting much analysis from the picks. Any of these guys appear to be of future fantasy impact? I know I know, long ways down the road but it's still fun to discuss:
-Luke Green going #1 seemed like a bit of a surprise, what kind of player does he project to be?
-From what I had heard Laberge was the favourite to hear his name called first. Gatineau clearly was a fan as they traded up in order to get him.
-A couple of Maritime guys Balmas (#7 overall, Charottetown) and Getson (#48 overall, Charottetown) had a lot of buzz surrounding them heading into their draft year. Any thoughts on them?
Really was not famiiar with many of the Quebec born payers or American born players so would love to hear any thoughts on those guys as well (seeing that is the heavy majority of the draft).
Thanks!

Re: Q-Draft Complete
Oh I knew he was rated high, just from my minimal research (CSR rankings, hearsay) I had the impression that Laberge was expected to go #1. Was nice to see a NS guy up there for sure.
Have you been able to see him play at all this year?

Re: Q-Draft Complete
I've had quite a few viewings on midget guys, this year in Nova Scotia. Luke Green wasn't a surprise going #1, kid is a fantastic skater, has good size for his age and his offensive instincts are off the charts. Balmas at times you wanted to see him dominate a little more, or give a little more effort but his team also went 5-26-3 and also was in on 52% of his teams goals despite missing 5 games for the U-17. In my opinion the Islanders got a steal, and Balmas had a bit of a rough go in regards to people picking apart his game on a crappy team. Getson didn't have the greatest season and didn't dominate the way many probably expected him too, he played a very strong two way game though and was dominant in playoffs. Great value pick at 48.Originally Posted by Southpaw20

Re: Q-Draft Complete
Yknow they should the name of this league. EHL would be more fitting.
Re: Q-Draft Complete
Agreed... But this is Quebec we're talking of, I think there are too many who'll see it as a slight towards their heritage from the big bad "rest of Canada". Of course this would open up the whole "Squeaky whell gets the oil" discussion and that's not at all my intention, just saying that it seems to me (as someone who lives here in Quebec) that it might become a sensitive issue, even though I personnally feel it shouldn't.
On a fantasy hockey break.
