C Philippe Gadoury - Halifax Mooseheads, QMJHL (2012 undrafted)

[WildcatMapleLeafs28]

I could see Florida taking a flyer on him in the later rounds. They don't mind taking small players(Grimaldi , Rau , Clapperton) , nor do they mind taking second year eligible players (Weeger , Brown , Clapperton last year alone) and they probably scouted Halifax quite a bit this season.

Or Montreal since he's a French Canadian and smaller.

Absolute pure goal-scorer. He just always seems to know where to go to seperate himself and find quiet ice to get the puck on and off of his stick quickly. He has a very good release matched with a hard, accurate shot. He skates pretty well and is aware on both ends of the ice. Also, a very creative player with the puck. He has nice hands in tight.

This. All day. I will just say it - we basically had no PP in Hali to speak of until Gadoury came in here. I don't have the numbers for this (yet), but it just felt like the PP never really clicked until after he got here in January.

Of the 35G for his 32 games, 15 of those were on the PP.

Did he benefit from being on a shift with Drouin, probably; but here's the thing, regardless of whoever is putting the puck on his stick he has an uncanny knack for burying it. Here's a stat, in the regular season his shooting % was higher than Drouins and Ehlers.... combined! A crazy 32.3% You put it on his stick and he is going to get it done.

I agree with the physical part though - he does not seem much for physical play.

Probably common knowledge but he got an invite to the Habs development camp.

Wouldn't be surprising to see this guy eventually make the NHL.

Any word on how he is doing?
