Son of Manon Rhéaume, one of the best pure skating player among guys at his age group. Really good offensively and will play for the USNTDP this upcoming season although he was drafted by Sarnia in the OHL draft. We'll see how he progresses!
 
I think he's a player with good potential. He's error prone right now defensively. Skates well, has good offensive skills, and he's pretty tall already at 6'0.

He's a late-birthday, so a 2025 draft eligible. If he can round out his defensive game, he could be a first round pick in 2025, but he has a long way to go until the 2025 draft.
 
He’s great right now at one thing (handling the puck with speed and good puck control), and the rest of his game is raw.

We’ll see how he progresses. Buium plays the game a little differently, but was a late birthday defenseman that was raw headed into his second year at the NTDP, and he showed good progression in year 2. I’m hesitant to say what we’re looking at with Rheaume-Mullen. Wide range of possibilities.
 
He's gotten a little less error-prone defensively and looks a little taller. I see some two-way potential, but other than the skating nothing about his game looks clear NHL level. 2025, so he has another full year before this becomes a bigger topic, but I don't see more than a mid-round pick right now, if even that.
 
I think he is underrated. I see more upside in his game and right now he is a second rounder for me.
 
He’ll be a faller I think. People know his name because he was a late birthday at the NTDP. Showed very little progress his two years. That defensive core was not that great. He was like their 6th or 7th best defenseman for a reason.

He can skate and has average size, but what else is NHL level? I don’t see what it’ll be yet.
 
I haven't paid much attention to him so far this year, but interested to see where he goes in the draft. I know his mom was working for the Kings.
 
The general public finally has access to NCAA TOI, and though it's definitely not perfect it's better than nothing. He is only playing about 13:46 a game so far.

Hensler and Boumedienne are both player 16:30+.

Seems like a likely second rounder to me.

Anyone have thoughts on DRM? I didn't notice him too much (positively or negatively) in the Michigan games I watched this year. That being said, Michigan wasn't a super interesting watch for the most part, so I could have been missing the little details of DRM's game.

Overmatched and risk-averse for a supposed PMD. Only attacks if it’s presented to him. Barely physical in his own end. Soft as a sponge when gapping up and gives the forward too much room. Probably freshman nerves. Teams probably won’t draft him this year unless his mom has friends who’ll do him a favor. Definitely a long-term project to see if he can look and act like he belongs on a top pairing.

I don’t think he’ll be an early round pick like some of the early rhetoric suggested (always the case with later birthdays from the NTDP), but I think he’ll get drafted.

He’s not small, skates wonderfully, and whether there’s real offense or not he’s not weak at moving the puck. I also have concerns whether he adds up to an NHL defenseman, but I think he has a profile NHL teams will value in the middle rounds.

Also worth mentioning he was one of the NCAA’s youngest players. I think he would’ve had a big year in the USHL statistically. You’d hope teams wouldn’t make much of choosing one route over the other and would scout the player not the stat line.

All fair, but I’d rather wait to see a better all-around game. He was given a long leash but was too passive considering his skating and offensive instincts.
