Any rumors about Danick Bouchard, Francis Pare or Patrick Bernier turning pro next year? Someone was telling me that Bouchard has gotten some interest from an AHL team just wondering. Also aside from Simon Lacroix, do you see any other players getting drafted next month? Cedric Lalonde-McNicoll, Patrik Prokop, Maxime Legault, Guillaume Durand, Adam Bourque-Leblanc (didn't he have injury problems?) Can I get some opinions on Pierre-Alexandre Vandal, Gabriel Lemieux, and Luc Bourque.
Paré and Bernier will come back in the Q next year with the Shawinigan Cataractes. Bouchard gets a try out with AHL but he comes back one week after and presently, he finish his CEGEP. Adam Leblanc-Bourque is a stay-at-home defense, you can make some comparaisons with JP Paquet, possibly, he will be drafted before Lacroix. For the other, I have no idea about them, they lack all something but they can improve. Gabriel Lemieux is one of the better offensive defenseman at 16 years old in the Q, he will just need to improve his point shot. For Durand, he is not a good skater and I don't think that he can follow the game in the big league, he still a good d-man. Luc Bourque will be probably a power-play specialist, not more. About PA Vandall, you can compare him with Corey Locke of the Montreal Canadiens.
Thanks, but why do you think Adam Leblanc-Bourque will be drafted ahead of Simon Lacroix? I haven't seen them play but I thought Bourque missed a lot of time this year and that Lacroix had a strong year.
