2014 QMJHL Draft prospects

[3 Minute Minor]

Odd that Fitzpatrick would play for NS when, like you said, Pickard could be there and Fitzpatrick is actually from NFLD.

Fitzpatrick has resided in NS for 2 years now, not sure what the 'rule' is but i guess as long as your a permanent resident of NS ( for at least a year ? ) i guess that is all that mattered there.

Just saw the first 8 commits for the USA National Development team and Chad Krys is on it. Campoli not mentionned but heard he has also committed and not going to the Excellence Challenge through a good source at Hockey Quebec...

Is Kyrs American or Canadian ? I'm hearing different things... Well reading.

Was he born in Canada ?

 

[Bjindaho]

Was he born in Canada ?

US, I believe

 

[WildcatMapleLeafs28]

Was he born in Canada ?

States , Conneticut I do believe.

Krys is American as he will be playing for the USNDP.

Michael Campoli is officially joining the USNDP as well, pretty huge snag for the US getting this Canadian kid to come on board...maybe some pay back for losing Sean Day??

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Campoli to Quebec anyone ?

 

[WildcatMapleLeafs28]

Campoli to Quebec anyone ?

Not looking good at this point but anything can happen. Quebec will probably draft him in the second round and he'll have a change of heart and report.

You can have him.

 

[CRRhockey]

You can have him.

Leaves one more spot for a Maritime kid, that has not yet tanked, to be drafted high.

 

[AmericanDream]

You can have him.

thank you.

 

[RJB]

thank you.

If he ends up in the US once all is said and done, you are getting a quality kid. More than just a hockey player. Smart kid too.

It is official, Michael Campoli is going to the NTDP. Big loss for Canada and big win for USA.

I wonder what happened over the course of the year for this to happen.

Willy Palov was a good nerd to follow for English QMJHL tweets but he's really annoying during Halifax games so I don't follow him anymore.

haha, I had to stop following him for the same reason. his love for drouin is beyond excessive.

He gets a follow the week before the draft & during the christmas trade period but ye there's nothing worse than going on twitter and getting 100 tweets about 1 QMJHL game.

thanks for the info

thanks for the info

I personally don't think he is that great if you want more than just info on Halifax, and CB or NS kids in general. He really only covers them and so he focuses much more on them than anyone else.

I think Jerome Berube is the best, he has less insight into the mooseheads but knows the players better than Palov

Personally, I don't think Willy is worth following for the draft at all. Very few of his posts are original content based on his own scouting.

Some people that I follow are Jerome Berube, Mikael Lalancette, Steve Turcotte (specifically his posts that relate to Shawinigan are almost always spot on), Anthony Marcotte, Anthony Stella, scoutman1, Station Nation, @HockeyProspctNS, Jean-Francois Dore (note: some of these people tweet a lot in french).
