RW William Dufour - Drummondville, QMJHL (2020, 152nd, NYI)

[Number 57]

There doesnt seem to be a thread on this guy yet

6th overall pick in the Q by Rouyn, he is now on Drummondville and should be a top-6 forward for them going forward

He already has size, great skater, solid hockey sense, offensive skills

33 pts this year

Could be a steal in the 6th or 7th round, might go earlier

He does have a good size, I'll try to watch him a little bit.

I looked at a mock draft site, that has him going in the 5th round. Wonder if he can improve his stock further as the season goes on.

 

[Squats]

He's sarting to make some noise

3G 1A for Dufour last night against Bathurst

Started the season with Chicoutimi (10G 12A in 32 games)

Got traded to Drummondville and has 28 points in 26 games so far with them (15G, 13A)

6'2 198 pounds power forward type of player.

He's also on a 12 game point streak

 

[Squats]

Aaaaand guess what? 3G 2A tonight, 13 game point streak

11 pts in last 3 games

 

[Patmac40]

What a run for him since getting to Drummondville. Really looking good.

 

[David Suzuki]

Gonna see him later today against a really good CHL team. Should be interesting I'll let you guys know if he's a bust or a future hart winner in 12 hours.

 

[cmcneil02]

Putting up almost the same numbers as Dawson Mercer did in the first half of the year with Drummondville and he's a year number. 18 goals in 28 games, I am drooling..!

 

[SergeConstantin74]

He didn't have a smooth sailing so far in the Q. He's already on his third team in two seasons. Rouyn traded him last year to Chicoutimi to land Noah Dobson and Chicoutmi traded him this season for Dawson Mercer. The fact that he has constantly improved his game despite this is impressive. I give him a lot of credit.

 

[Number 57]

Ranked 69th by central scouting NA

 

[m0pe]

Nice. Glad to see him getting some recognition. Had a strong finish and worthy of a top-100 pick.

Welcome to New York!

Welcome to New York!

*Long Island

 

[Thrasymachus]

*Long Island

"New York" Islanders doesn't count for anything huh? Long Island is part of the New York State, stop being so pedantic.

No, it doesn't. Buffalo is also part of New York State.

 

[Thrasymachus]

No, it doesn't. Buffalo is also part of New York State.

Right but the Sabres doesn't have "New York" in the name.

Imagine being this sensitive.

No, but the Islanders don't DESERVE to have the New York in their name. When people think of New York, they think of New York City. So really, what's the difference between Buffalo and Long Island?

Way to derail a thread. Rangers fans are a different breed...

[Evgeny Oliker]

Anyone have any other video of him?

can you describe his game a bit more?

 

[Butch26]

Coached him last year. Strong on ice with great puck skills. He find his game Drummond, a big body with skills. Need to work on his skating(mostly start), but his crossover is pretty good. Great progression since 1 year

 

[Number 57]

Will be traded to the Saint John Sea Dogs

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Surprised to see no one has posted an update on this kid.

Has been phenomenal in St.John this year, tied for the QMJHL lead in PTS with 34 in 21.
Impressive numbers for the 5th rounder.

Yeah I went to a game early on and immediately his shot stood out big time. He definitely has a pro level shot now. For not knowing much about him I was highly impressed with him the game I saw. A few goals he scored the goalie didn't even react.
