Zachary L'Heureux

[Daydream Nation]

If you guys are in a banger league and L'Heureux is not already owned, you need to look at what he's done this season. He's had 48 points in 66 games with 197 PIMs and has upped that 12 pts in 9 playoff games with 24 PIMs. I've read in a couple places that he's been Milwaukee's best player in the playoffs so far. L'Heureux has a unique profile and could be golden in leagues with PIMs. He should be in the mix for a spot in Nashville next season.

😳 wow I heard he was killing it but wow those are legit banger stats. He is owned in my league but thanks for the heads up that production is serious

Always appreciate a heads up when a prospect is having a good year, it's pretty much impossible to track all of them. This will be interesting to follow, I think L'Heureux will be in tough to earn a roster spot but the Preds do have 4 UFA-RFA's all of which are pretty much bottom 6 guys. This perhaps open the door for L'Heureux, but there are others in the mix as well for sure.

Hes an interesting guy- could be a top six option but I want to see more before I move him up out of a middle 6 projection...

Just ran across this. L'Heureux is catching people's attention for sure: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nhl...5999df05&ei=15

I was big on your boy PhillyT, I actually though he could secure a middle six gig with the Preds in his sophomore year. 3 years in the NHL and he's just not taking a big step forward and legitimately securing that full time middle six gig is up in the air big time, hell, his first year was the only year that the Preds didn't send him down to the A. He's still only 22 but ya, he needs to kickstart things. He's RFA, so what happens there, are the Preds losing patience or not? We'll see.

Its a great question!! Locked on... Preds tackles this exact question right: HERE
They compare him to the way the team handled Eeli Tolvanen (who Ive got as a post hype guy too- lol!). No firm answers but an interesting listen about Philip- Ill add more here if I find anything about Zachary ....

Is he a better own in a banger league (no PIM) then Calumn Ritchie?

Ritchie is a gritty player in his own right, it was this aspect of his game that persuaded Sakic to draft him 27th overall. Ironically, L'Heureux went 27th over all as well. Until L'Heureux recent "break out" in the A this year I would have said this is not close, but now I'm not quite so sure. I think Richie has superior upside to L'Heureux and without PIM being a scoring cat I'm taking Richie here. However, I don't think we see Richie in the NHL for a year or two more whereas L'Heureux with a good camp could land a spot with the Preds this coming season. If you like the potential higher upside and are willing to wait Ritchie might be your guy. If you are willing to settle for less upside and add a physical player for next season then L'Heureux is a sure looking to be a good option. Bottom line, all this is up in the air, who knows for sure.
