one thing HC will look at though is if he does not get ES then he could potentially go USA for next year to NCAA route when the QMJHL could have had him.A bit surprised considering he likely would have been the heavy favourite to go #1 based on skills and not only because he would be a year younger.
The article says he will play another year In that league, but you have to think they will explore all options regarding prep school etc as well.
By all accounts, he's considerably better than Veleno at this stage (who likely did not warrant ES if we're being honest)
With Dupont out west potentially applying he could have been in competition to get it, I can't see HC giving 2 in one year.
No I wouldn’t go as far as MacKinnon. His agility and quickness is good but will not distinguish him at the next level. Straightforward speed is good though. Reminds me of Pierre-Luc DuboisBest prospect in this region since Mackinnon? Is he at a level close to Mack at the same age or something closer to Lafreniere?

Damn he's hugeView attachment 795030
Says he didn’t ask for exceptional status because the plan was always to play 2 years of midget u18 AAA
He doesn't use his size that much. Good mind for the game, great, great hands.Does he have elite offensive ability or dominates because he's big?
