RHC Roger McQueen - Brandon Wheat Kings, WHL(2025 Draft)

[Bubbles]

This is one of those names that you restart the draft with on NHL video games because the name isn't realistic.

 

[Bubbles]

Hat trick in his first pre season game.

Hat trick in his first pre season game.

special player! interesting player to follow this season

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Hat trick and came into camp at 6'4 182 pounds. Kid can flat out score and has looked awesome so far. Really excited to see what he develops into.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Never seen this kid play before but from what I'm hearing he seems like the kind of player I like to bet on.

Big, with plenty of room to grown into his frame, but not at all awkward on his feet or entirely reliant upon his size to make an impact.

Now are we sure with a name like that, we are sure he isnt a doctor or something?

Dr. Roger McQueen

 

[Trav1981]

Looking at the What Kings lineup, he looks like he could get good playing time. How many goals do people project he'll get?

 

[deVolt]

Tampa should do everything in their power to draft this kid.

Dude is lightning-fast.

At 6'5" ?

As a Lightning McQueen joke reference....

It's just hard to believe someone that big could be that fast but...

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Pronman said he looked a lot better than Misa at the Canada U17's training camp.

It's possible. Byfuglien, Artyukhin had some very impressive speed. Tyler Myers, too early on in his career.

This is what came to mind when I read that name. I feel old

I never thought of Buff as being fast - but maybe you're right.

 

[Lavar Ball]

Got his first in the dub

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He was the best of the Canada White forwards. The 2025 draft is so far away, but the Kirby Dach comparison isn’t too bad. That’s probably about the range you could peg for McQueen at this point, although that can surely change in the next few years.

I think he has a very good shot, and all his other skills are pretty good for 6’4.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He didn’t have a very good season in the Dub, but he’s a 2025 draft eligible. I think he could have a big season, and position himself well to challenge for maybe like top 5 in 2025. He looked really good in the pre-tournament game for Canada. He has all the talent to be a 1C, if it all comes together. TBD if he does.

Seeing several last posts of yours.

IMO it might make sense for you to post a list.

Like a 2024 list?

Posted this two weeks ago. Post your 2024 Draft List

McQueen is 2025 draft eligible. There’s a bunch of very highly touted players in that draft between Hagens, Misa, McQueen, Hensler, Ekberg, Eklund, Martone, Benak, Pobezal, D’Aigle, Gavin, Spence, and then we’ll see what happens when most of the 2007’s arrive in juniors for the upcoming season. Some will surely join that group. Initial suggestions are that 2025 looks absolutely stacked, but we’ll know more about that in the next six months.

I like what I saw of him at the U17 last fall.

 

[Nabrules]

3 points in the first period of the WHL opener. Hit 20% of his total points last year in 1 period
