2022 QMJHL Draft
- Thread starter Wintersun
- Start date
yes, although there will be some trades on draft night so there probably won't be an accurate 1 to 14th round.
A well known ranking site just released their guide, with Quinn Kennedy coming in at #3 overall, I don't see him going in the top 5, could RN take him at 6 ? That would put a couple of Gulls in RN next season....Halifax will take him at 7 otherwise.
Agreed. Those PP rankings are pretty out there in some cases. He was pretty quiet through Atlantics and Q Cup. Aucoin too really quiet. Halliday and Mcminn were strong.
Agreed I didn't think that puckpreps did a good job on their rankings but they use a system similar to rival.coms. so that could be why.
Thought the HP list was fine. With regards to Kennedy, yes he is a bit on the high side, but he'd be ranked 8 and I would not blink an eye. The difference is not that big. I actually find that the Maritimes players are ranked quite high overall on the list with the exception of Shields who is pretty low.
Vision hockey did a nice job of their round 1 mock draft on twitter....Kennedy to Halifax at 7 , Shields to Drummondville at 9 , Philips to Cape at 11 , Kearsey to Gatineau at 14 , Gill to Victo at 16 , hard to argue with any of those selections really.
As we know the order of selection will change before July 4th with Futures and trades being announced.

Gill will go to Rouyn play with his brother at #6 or #10 I'd bet.
After taking a RHD in Lavoie 1st overall, the Cape would likely not take another RHD in Phillips. They already have a lot of D to begin with and have no offense.
Fully expect Gatineau to move that pick before the draft, and while Shields to Drummondville is possible, I don't know if it's likely.
The only slam dunk in there for me is probably Kennedy at 7 for Halifax.
I consulted some lists in the last few days. I brought them together and made an average that gave me a final rating for each players at their position. This is not MY ranking. I just used the opinion of others.
Only a few days before draft day. We will finally see how teams figure that out pretty soon. Remember that every year we get some surprises. In 2019, Cole Huckins was rated as a 3rd rounder (CSR) and was drafted 1st round. In 2020, everyone tought that Justin Côté would get picked in the top 10 and he had to spend the night undrafted. And I won't talk about last year since the scouting was made without even seeing kids play real hockey (with contact and real stakes). As always, there will be some surprises and we will all forget these pre-draft rankings. But let's just have a litte fun while we still can!

Are the Q teams working with such a list or is it a pure raking?
IMO:
G: agree with the top 3. Furey did not have spectacular play off, and a rough Q cup. Would put Langevin
D: nothing shocking, the order also makes sense
F: questioning beaudoin & desjardins, would add michaud & butler. For the latter, despite the size, he has a ton of skills and one of the very good high IQ
I'm no goalie specialist but it could be dangerous to base an evaluation on the Q-Cup Challenge. In 2018, Lavallée had a very tough challenge (.821%). Out of the 12 goalies that were there, only him, Coulombe and Lapenna were able to establish themeselves in the league. But I agree that Langevin is one of the top goalies to be considered.

Eagles will be adding a significant piece up front at the draft via trade - also adding an established D man too
I think they skip on the goalie and take Lavoie or Poirier. Cape will be solid next season, Young but solid for sure
Eagles already confirmed they are picking Lavoie. Not a bad pick by any means, but that defensive core is getting crowded.
Rimouski's GM confirms that he acquired pick #5 from Baie Comeau. Massé, a local kid, seems to be the target. A lot of movement expected saturday when the trade period opens.
Sudddenly, in one morning, it's much less crowded than it was!

Agreed. GM made room for Lavoie and Daigle which he believes are his future core I imagine. (I agree).
Thought the Cape did a good job on their trades except the Ouellet one which was a headscratcher for me vs a 3rd round pick.
I agree. He gave up pretty fast in my opinion. He could have taken some time to evaluate the kid a bit more. Wasn't easy for anyone in Sydney last season. Unless there are other reasons not related to hockey.

The names selected don't really surprise me much, the order kind of does in some areas however.
Kind of surprised by some of the potential NCAA guys... especially Zonnon and Leroux. Thought they'd drop out of the first and guys like Carbonneau, Durocher, Lacerte could maybe get in there.
Still, no disaster pick in that round imo.

I assume Boisvert must have told most teams NCAA unless Chicoutimi. Zonnon is a bit of surprise as well, although I think he's still a solid pick if he attends.

Always right.

With 4 first picks Boisvert is a good bet for Chicoutimi. If he doesn’t report they get the same pick next year.
The problem for them is that 3 of those 4 players consider the US option. If none show up, they will get their picks back but they will have to postpone their cycle. I was surprised they didn't select Kearsey with pick #23. That kind of D-Man would have greatly benefited from the bigger rink in my opinion.
