Prospect Info: Pick 213 overall Andre Gasseau

[Gee Wally]

Big boy.

https://thehockeywriters.com/andre-gasseau-2021-nhl-draft-prospect-profile/


This applies to prospect Andre Gasseau because he is one of those prospects with an NHL-caliber frame as a 17-year-old, clocking in at 6-foot-4 and over 200 lbs. Along with this frame, he also brings a smart, 200-foot game, where he is able to contribute in both the offensive and defensive zones.
Throughout the 2020-21 season, the Los Angeles native has been playing for the U.S. National U18 team, playing with some of the top talents in the league. In 42 games, he has posted 12 goals and 27 points, which are solid totals given his skillset.


After he completes this season, Gasseau is committed to playing hockey for Boston College (BC), meaning he will continue cutting his teeth by playing with one of the top collegiate programs in the country. This bodes well for him, as it will give him the time and structure to work through some of the flaws in his game, potentially allowing him to round out his gameplay before making the jump to the AHL and eventually the NHL.

[smithformeragent]

Think they’ve made size a priority in these later rounds?!

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

I swear this is one of @Saxon Eric suggestions.

Love it. This draft has been wonderful.

 

[UncleRico]

It was

Good call, sir. I recall asking who the big power forwards were in this draft and you said “not many” but referenced this kid.

 

[UConn126]

I like that we went from best player available in the early rounds to tallest player available in the later.

 

[DKH]

Excellent pick - worth the shot expected higher

get to watch at BC

Some dude on prospect page - opinon on AG...

"Andre Gasseau in the 7th round, that is. That's one of the biggest steals in the draft. He does the dirty work for the USNTDP team and always catches my eye. Dude is a monster too, could develop into a bit of a PF and a bit of Brian Boyle"

Sounds good

Nadeau says Gasseau is playing with Fargo in the USHL next season where he'll be a teammate of 2020 nepotism pick Mason Langenbrunner.

He should have stayed in the USHL last season.

I was hoping to never have to watch Hockey TV again...

California kid, played with a family friends son a few years ago.

3 zone player, won't wow in any aspect but definitely potential as a solid all around type bottom 6 guy.

Like it for personal reasons, but definitely something there.

 

[McGarnagle]

I would not have guessed either Andre Gasseau or Sasha Pastujov were American by their names.

Every time I see this kids name it makes me think back to this guy. Brett Harrison's Grandpas best friend Doakie takes the high stick that started it all. Fred O'Donnell was traded right after this game with Chris Oddleifson to Canucks for Bobby Schmautz. It was his last NHL game however as he refused to report to Vancouver. He jumped to the WHA the following year with the Whalers.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Don't sleep on this guy. He's coming on strong right now. 6-foot-4 and here's a clip of him scoring a beauty short handed goal.

This guy could be a major steal.
