The third of three sons of former NHL'er Derek Plante. Victor was tied for the lead at the WHC in points (whole tournament, not just on his own team). I thought the play didn't exactly align with the totals, but Max a little bit of the same way where he gets a lot of empty points through good teamwork, passing, puck moving, and hockey sense. He's similar to Max with a little more interior play. I don't think he has the same level of passing. They are probably similar level players overall. Both look considerably better than Zam. Victor is already 5'9. I think Max was like 5'7 or 5'8 when he first got to the NTDP, so a little taller. Max went second round, and I don't think many expected it. I think Victor is probably provisionally a second rounder. Higher than what was expected of Max. Could always change. Committed to UMD.
