I am doing some QMJHL "scouting" tonight. Blainville-Boisbriand Armada against Shawinigan Cataractes. No one of note for the next drafts, except for a friend's son on the Cataractes.

Thanks, FLYguy. He, like anyone on BB, was not noticeable in the first period.

Villeneuve #72 LD on Blainville is fun. He's not eligible until next year though.

Villeneuve #72 LD on Blainville is fun. He's not eligible until next year though.

Bro he's 5'10 150. That's an 8th rounder.

We are right behind the penalty boxes and when Villeneuve took a two-minutes, it looked like he was in grade 6 detention.

Dickinson just had the fastest defenseman hattrick I’ve ever seen.

I think Avon was more at LW than center last season.
Gardner probably at center.

Rizzo hurt or healthy scratch?

 

[deadhead]

Feel asleep during the game, Phantoms struggled to start, then seemed to dominate the rest of the game. Woke up for the shootout.

Avon had a beautiful goal in the shootout, he's the player I'm most interested in this season, UDFA after hardly playing his D-1 and losing his D-0 to Covid.

So he's only had 2 full CHL seasons and 1 AHL season.
July B-day so he's 21 in his second AHL season.

174 lbs when drafted, now listed at 6'1 201 on the TC roster.
That's good size for a player known for speed:

Tucker Robertson named best shootout shooter and Avery Hayes named most dangerous in the goal area in annual OHL Coaches Poll

Whether he's a 4th line forechecker or can play higher will probably be evident by the end of the season, depends on him polishing his offensive skill package.

Nice exhibition game goal that shows his speed:

scratched

 

[blackjackmulligan]

scratched

Damn that cant be good.

 

[deadhead]

Didn't impress me in pre-season, probably explains why he was a 7th rd pick.
Nothing I saw suggested NHL player, given he's already 23.

Not a good sign when you're benched for Gardner (28) and Gaucher.

 

[VladDrag]

Damn that cant be good.

I like him as a player, I think he’s got a chance to be an NHL guy. But he looked so average on training camp. I will pull for him.
