Who currently playing in the QMJHL has a good chance at playing in the NHL and what type of players do you see them becoming?

Comfortably Numb said:From a Canucks look:
Luc Bourdon is a lock to make the NHL IMO.
Julien Ellis and Vincent have very good chances of atleast becoming back-ups. Most likely one of them will make the dance.
he's strugled since coming back in the Q even with Brassard on his team
katodelder said:Angelo Esposito (2007) will be a scoring star in the NHL. He may be the best '89-born player in the world and could go first overall. His offensive skills are exceptional. As long as does all the little things he needs to succeed as a professional, he'll probably end up being the best player to come out of Montreal since Lecavalier in '98.

LaLaLaprise said:He had 6 pts in his first 2 games. After that he has been on a ppg pace...but he was a ppg player at 16...
Latendresse SHOULD be shredding up the league like radulov. The kid almost made the NHL!!
There have been some stories that suggest that he thinks hes too good for the league. It can be understandable when you almost make the NHL. Add to the fact that Drummondville players are dropping like flies due to injuries.
TransportedUpstater said:I also think it has to do with the fact that Latendresse's younger, less-hyped and not-yet drafted teammate (Brassard) is outscoring him in total points and in PPG.
It may be difficult for Latendresse and Bourdon to adjust, simply because both appear to have NHL spots locked up for 2006.
LaLaLaprise said:Brassard has more to play for at this stage than Latendresse. Brassard has been ranked as high as 10th and as low as late 2nd round so there is a huge swing in what people think about his game. Latendresse has no carrot dangling in front of him. Less to work for. Hes almost gaurenteed a contract.
Brassard is out for a while though, fractured arm. He was playing with it the last 2 weeks but decided to shut it down and let it heal.
s7ark said:I have heard that Oilers prospect Slava Trukhno has a good chance to be a top 6 winger. He is the only QMJHL prospect who has a point in every game he has played. Apparently he needs to work on shooting a bit more. He sounds like a Hemsky kind of guy to be honest
He is tied with Latendresse for 9th in the Q in points right now and has played three less games
LW Trukhno, Viatcheslav PEI 18GP 10G 26A 36P 33PM +/-0
The next highest scoring player on Trukhno's team is
O'Brien, Greg PEI 20GP 14G 7A 21P 6PM -6
So it doesn't sound like he has a lot to work with either.
man you beat me to him: And we both had titlesBINGOV said:Plays a similar style as Andrew Brunette.

hockeyman28 said:other NHL Prospect saugeneens include: Marek Zagrapan, but he wont be as good as lascek.
i agree with that actually, but i think if lascek can improve his skating, he will show how much better he can be.Duff88 said:I wouldn't bet my life on that; Zagrapan is IMO head and shoulders above Lascek in his NHL potential from what I've seen.
