Prospect Info: Xavier Simoneau, Centre, Drummondville, 191st Overall

[NotProkofievian]

Didn't know him before last week but he impressed me during rookie games and skating looks good... . The way he buzzed around the zone and crash the crease reminds me of a poor/tinier/prettier version of Marchand.

When you're Simoneau's size, good skating usually doesn't cut it. He's a good player, but he has to take the DD route to the show. Buzzing around in rookie games is a non-event.

 

[calder candidate]

I think he has a actual shot at the NHL, but at the very least this guy is always at 120% and that how you want everyone to play and if this guy is on your team it will be hard to sit on your skills, I think is attitude has to rub of on other at

Even if he doesn't make the NHL, he's gonna be great for the culture in Laval and make a great environment for our prospect to develop

His skating is quite bad, the only positive is that he has remarkable strength and balance but he is slow and incredibly inefficient

Simoneau will be the smallest player in the nhl if he makes it

Simoneau is 5'6 1/4. He said it himself.
He also listed at 5'6 on the habs training camp sheet.

We'll have to upgrade our hardware if we're to upload those bad boys.

I don’t think those lists are accurate, we will see but Dach was listed 6’2 200 pounds lol.

And you think that's not true?

 

[SlafySZN]

And you think that's not true?

yeah. Kirby has been 6’4 since he’s like 16, i don’t think he got smaller with age

Gallagher was listed 5’10

But we will probably see today

No way Gally is 5'10 just no way.
Anyhow, we are looking ahead to being bigger and faster, and the next couple of years should be fun for the guys development.....
Onwards, and upwards....

Simoneau will be the smallest player in the nhl if he makes it

He could be the shortest, but he's 183 pounds. Heavier than Evans...

[MarkovsKnee]

He's been impressive. He's a little tank. He's going to get Teasdale's contract space at the end of this year & Teasdale won't get a Q.O.

This village is close to Ripon and Thurso, Richer and Lafleur.

The DD route requires you have an NHL coach that loves you & lets you sit on his lap.

True.

The pre-season sparks were no joke Simoneau will play in the NHL the question is how many games? Great start to his pro career.
