overall, very weak year for the Q with only 12 players hearing their names called.
Jordan Tourigny is a bit of a big one to go undrafted. Really fell off from early season where he was ranked as high as late first rounder/early second rounder by some...
Mathis Rousseau is another. I know him being 19 probably played a factor but would've expected at least a 6th or 7th rounder spent on him. He will definitely get a camp invite.

Mathis Rousseau is too small for NHL standards. There were only two 6'0 goalies drafted today. Rousseau is 5'11.

Just too small to be a viable NHL prospect, if you’re his size you have to be the elite of the elite and he just isn’t. |

I think a lot of the mid and late round Q guys were hurt by a lack of high end talent in the Q. When scouts go watch 5-6 studs they end up noticing and liking later round pick guys. There is also a bit of a bias against the Q from the older scouts and they would rather gamble on an NCAA/OHL/WHL kid at equal value. Every year we have guys from the Q that slide and end up making it ahead of much higher drafted guys...Palat Pinard N.Roy J.Roy Bergeron Pageau Duclair Graves Weegar Blais Carrier Montembault M.Joseph Graland etc I know that happens in every league but seems more prevalent here. |

also bit surprised on William Rousseau as well. I know he's an OA but thought maybe a team would take a late flyer on him.
