Yeah, as a NHL second round pick he’ll get a shot at playing pro at 20 for sure. |

Any scouting reports on this kid? Rated as the 27th best player on the list put out by the Q. So that’s something. |

Any scouting reports on this kid? Started the season on the 4th line but just better as the season went on. Finished the year on the top 2 lines. Played on the power play with Joshua Roy and Olivier Nadeau. Pretty effective on the PK as well. I can see him as a top 6 forward. |

Judging by the price Kreutzer and Baker went for , wish we had picked one of them up. Was hoping the Cats traded for a top4

Here are the HockeyProspect.com scouting reports on some of our drafted players:
Zachary L'Heureux
L’Heureux had a very good year despite not having had much help by playing
on a weak Châteauguay team. He was not only one of the best rookies in the league, but was also one of
the best players in the entire Midget AAA circuit. The 5’11’’, 187-pound forward is dynamic with excellent
skating skills and great offensive abilities. He possesses a strong stride to the outside, which allows him to
create time and space off the rush and to eventually find a way to the prime shooting areas. L’Heureux has
the ability to beat defensemen in many ways, whether it is with speed to the outside or with the use of nifty
stick work, and he always gets his shots through. The young forward protects the puck well on open ice and
his strong edges make it hard for opponents to knock him off the puck. L’Heureux also showed throughout
the year that he’s capable of being a QB on the power play, as he showed a great ability to make smart entry
decisions in an effort to set up in the o-zone, even when under immense pressure. The knack on L’Heureux
is his shift-to-shift consistency and the fact that he sometimes tends to stay on the perimeter. All in all,
L’Heureux has the skills and skating abilities to thrive at the next level and any team would be lucky to get
him at the draft.
Julien Hebert
Hébert is a feisty winger whose game has consistently evolved and improved over the course of the season.
Playing up and down in the lineup throughout the year, Hébert was given more responsibilities. He started
the season on the fourth line, while his coach used him on penalty kill unit. At the end of the season, Hébert
was playing on the top two lines and got some time on power play while still killing penalties. Despite not
being the most creative player, he has the abilities to complete talented players like Roy and Nadeau by
positioning himself well in all three zones. Once in the offensive zone, Hébert is at his best below the faceoff
dots, as he worked efficiently to make his way to the net and tried to create some traffic. He is not afraid of
initiating or receiving contact, going into the dirty areas of the ice to create scoring chances. In his own zone,
he will quickly put pressure on the puck-carrier with an effective active stick and will keep tight coverage.
He’s a jack-of-all-trades and his game projects well at the next level. His skillset should land him a spot on a
middle-6, but if he can find chemistry with other talented players, he can be a top-6 forward in the long run.
Nicolas Pavan
Pavan is a simple defenseman who makes a good first pass. At the beginning of the year, he showed
tremendous potential, but as the year went on, he seemed to regress. There are games where he is a
standout defenseman but there are other times when his decision-making on the ice drew him limited ice
time. The 6’ tall defenseman skates well and his mobility and conditioning improved over the course of the
year. His skillset is basic but also rather underrated, as we saw flashes of brilliance from Pavan. Also, when
breaking out of the zone, Pavan has the ability to make accurate outlet passes, even if it means a long
stretch pass off the boards. His weaknesses are his consistency, his shot, and his physical game. Under
pressure, Pavan is usually quite good, but there are times where he backs away from his simple game,
which can be frustrating. Lastly, Pavan will need to add strength, become stronger in front of his own net,
and be harder to play against.
Charles-Antoine Pilote
Pilote split this past season between Midget AAA and Espoir, but unlike most players in the same situation,
he did so in reverse. Pilote made CCL’s Midget AAA team from training camp and played 24 games,
amassing 10 assists. In early December, he left the team to go play Espoir with the Dynamiques where he
had 2 goals and 8 assists in 15 games. Pilote is a good athlete, as he’s been a successful cyclist in Quebec,
but seems to be focused on hockey right now. He has good size and he’s an above-average skater for his
size. His skating at the beginning of the year was average, but as the season progressed, it became better,
as he’s gained strength physically. He’s capable of making a good first pass out of his zone, but does
struggle with his consistency in terms of decision-making. He does a good job getting pucks on net by
keeping his shot low. He has a good shot from the point and he’s able to get it off quickly. He is not overly
physical, but when needed, can bring that sort of game along the boards. He lacks some strength, and that
can be a problem for him when facing bigger players down low and in front of his net. Pilote showed some
interesting potential this year. With his good size with above-average skating abilities, it’s going to be
interesting to watch his development next season and see where he plays.
Dominic LeBlanc
LeBlanc stood out as a rookie on a veteran team this season. He is a quick, skilled and competitive winger;
earning ice time in key situations on a veteran squad. LeBlanc’s power and footspeed are the first things that
jump out when you look at him. There’s a bit of explosiveness in his step, and he can accelerate from a
standing position. He reacts quickly to the play around him. LeBlanc is a skilled playmaker with good puck
skills and he’s not shy of physical contact. He’s competitive, good on the walls, and gives a strong effort in
his own end as well, but sometimes tends to play a little high in his own end. He’s still a bit undersized, but
he has a good release and a lot of good tools to be a productive forward at the junior level.
Jonathan Desrosiers
Desrosiers is a good-sized defenseman from the Moncton Flyers who’s more of a defensive defenseman
who can play a physical game in his own end. He’s good around his net to protect his goaltender, he gets
involved physically and he’s not shy to clear the front of the net. He has a good active stick that he uses well
to block passing lanes in front of the net. He’s a good competitor and gives it his all in the corners and he’s
tough to play against. In his league, he’s capable of rushing the puck out of his zone and makes some smart
plays, but against better competition (the Canada Games and the Gatorade Challenge in particular) he
struggled when making quick decisions with the puck and was not a very impactful player offensively. He’s
got a good shot from the point, but needs to learn to get it off more quickly. He has average footwork and
that hurts him against better competition, as he can get beaten wide and caught flat-footed in the neutral
zone. If he can improve some of his weaknesses, Desrosiers could become a depth defenseman in the
QMJHL. If not, he’ll likely play in Junior A in the Maritimes.
Connor Keough
Keough is a P.E.I. native who left his province this season to play in Saskatchewan with the Notre Dame
Argos. He had 5 points in39 games as one of the youngest players on the team, not to mention a struggling
team that only won 8 games and finished second-to-last in the league. At the Canada Games, Keough was
one of the top performers for P.E.I. with 9 points in 7 games. He’s a good two-way center with good skating
abilities. He uses his size well to get shooting opportunities and has an above-average shot. He protects the
puck well and has decent puck skills as well. He’s got a good hockey IQ, and good awareness away from
the puck. He’s got a good compete level, wins his puck battles and pays attention to all the little details on
the ice.
Logan Nutbrown
At 6’2” and 242 pounds, Nutbrown was one of the biggest players in the league, if not the absolute biggest.
His 15 assists in 38 games made him his team’s top scoring defenseman. Due to a complete lack of depth
on the Châteauguay team, Nutbrown was forced to play minutes that were above his skill level. The heavy
defenseman is a slow skater and must improve his conditioning. His lack of mobility forces him to give away
too much time and space to the faster forwards on the ice. His decisions coming out of his own end are quite
questionable and his puck-movement is very hesitant, which constantly puts his forwards in a vulnerable
position. For a big guy, his shot power is average, but his biggest problem is his inability to get his shot
through to the net from the point. His shots are often blocked. This is mostly due to his inability to walk the
line with mobility and skill. Although there are a lot of negatives to his game, Nutbrown did show overall
improvement in all aspects of his game from the beginning of the year to the end. He’s a project pick and the
team that draft him will need to be patient.
