Prospect Info: 158th Overall Philippe Daoust C, Wildcats, QMJHL

[mianjo]

he scored two tonight the day after his 19th birthday so it was his flu game

I live in Moncton so even if I am not a Sens fan I really hope this kid makes it. Smart player was surprise he got drafted but he was clearly a good gamble.

2g 1a and 1st star of the game

 

[Samsquanch]

Daoust was only 5'3 at 15 years old

For that reason he didn't get drafted for the OHL

Born in Barrie. His family was from Sudbury

Went to high school and kindergarten with Alec Belanger (67's)

Well shit, thats about all I need to go on. Im officially on the Dauost train. And hes got all the hallmarks of a Sens late rising diamond in the rough draft pick, like Pinto and many others before him.

Looking really good this year. Don’t forget about Daoust. Excited to see him get to the AHL.

 

[foggyvisor]

This guy looks like our next Chris Tierney.

 

[JMACole]

Huge improvement this year. 29 points in 58 games last season, 28 points in 21 games this season. Nice to see! Guessing he will be on the B-Sens next year.

Every stats represents Daoust's percentile among qualifying players (QMJHL forwards with at least 120 even strength minutes played during 2020-21 QMJHL season + post-season).

Doesn’t hit, trade him.

Daoust is likely returning to junior.

Its NHL or CHL for him, isn't it?

He's technically eligible to play in Belleville as he turns 20 before December 31st but I don't think that's in the cards for him.

don’t know much about him, heard his skating and speed is the big improvement he needs to make to be an NHL player but another intriguing prospect in the system

He looked very good in the scrimmage (and preseason?) games he played.

 

[God Says No]

He looked very good in the scrimmage (and preseason?) games he played.

Yip, he did. Then he got injured I believe. Is he going back to junior or staying in the AHL?

 

[TheDebater]

Junior will be pointless for him, he will develop much better in the AHL, he is definitely ready for the pro game.

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

Any word on where he is going? According to eliteprospects he is still unsigned and with the Sens on a tryout contract. He played the last pre-season game and appeared to do well but remains unsigned as the B-Sens begin their season tomorrow. I take that as he is going back to Moncton?

He's starting in Belleville on an ATO. I guess they'll see how it goes from there.

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

Scored his first AHL goal in the season opener tonight.

 

[God Says No]

I think we got something there. He looked real good at the rookie tourney before he got hurt.

 

[TheDebater]

I like this kid:

 

[SensontheRush]

He's got the Spezza smile. Gonna be a star!
