Here are the guys I'd have on my QMJHL FA list...
1-Jeremie Fraser, VD
Big strong horse that a big factor at both ends of the ice, I think at the pro level he can be more of a shutdown player who can chip in some offense. He plays with an edge and can drop the gloves. His only knock is he is very competitive, sometimes to a point where he rubs teammates the wrong way. He played a pretty big role in VD winning the QMJHL title last year.
2-Alexis Loiseau, Rimouski
Good sized center, skating is solid with a long powerful stride, plays a solid 2 way game and is a good playmaker. Takes a lot of important faceoffs and kills penalities. Could develop into a solid 2 way center in the pros.
3-Nikita Jevpalovs, Blainville-Boisbriand
Big strong horse, can play wing or center, gets around the ice well for a guy his size, strong on the puck when he gets into a wide base. has a heavy wrister and can thread the needle as a playmaker, good vision and hockey sense. Recently signed a contract with the San Jose Sharks.
4-Danick Martel, Blainville-Boisbriand
Has all the tools but the size, big time competitor, plays a lot bigger than his size. He is a classic late bloomer, only cracking the QMJHL at 18 and his career has taken off this year. Splits time at center with linemate Jervpalovs, I see him more on the wing as this could open up the ice for him. One of the best snipers in the league, he is fearless going to the net and he also has a quick release wrister that is hard to stop.
5-Sebastien Auger, Saint John
Has been the best goalie in the Q for most of the last 3 years, size is what hurts him most in the eyes of scouts. A deceptively good athlete he also reads the play well and gets himself square to the shooter. If somebody is willing to look past the 5'11" frame they could have themselves a pretty sold pro goalie who could one day be an NHl back up or co #1 in the Jaroslav Halak mold.
6-Mickael Beauregard, Gatineau
Big stay at home d-man, he is one of the toughest players in the Q. He is very underrated defensively, his coach trusts him in all tight situations and he rarely disapoints. He moves around pretty well for a big frame and makes a solid first pass. In the pros he could be a depth d-man taht can drop the gloves to protect a teammate.
7-Ryan Penny, Rouyn-Noranda
He has come a long way since a trade from Moncton 15 months ago, he was always a solid defensive player with strong work ethic and leadership traits, but in Rouyn-Noranda he has made large strides offensively to the point where he is a main cog in their offense. In the pros, he could be a sold bottom 6 player who plays a defensive role, kills penalities and chips in a few points, he can also play center or LW.
