Zac Biggar continues to impress, could he find himself in the top 10? As for other island stand outs Matthew McQuaid and Alex Graham stood out to me and are probably climbing the ranks
Cameron MacDonald is supposed to be a Top 5 pick in the QMJHL Draft but he’s still undecided where he wants to go yet. He’s already ranked Eligible for the 2021 NHL Draft I’ve seen the kid he’s good.Which players are going NCAA route?
I'd pick Yargeau in the top 3 rounds from Triolet. He's probably the only one though. I'd have maybe put Cardona in the discussion but he's up with Lac St-Louis now that Legault is officially done for the year and maybe beyond that.
Loved Biggar with the puck on his stick, very poised defender with solid puck moving abilities.
Campbell is a tenacious and annoying player to play against, was impressed by him.
Evan Nause looks like he has everything you want in a defenseman but his team wasn't good enough. I think he's a top 5 guy.
Cameron Whynot has very good tools, I think he's a first round lock but I personally didn't think he was top 5 good.
I also loved Kidney, the guy is a very nice playmaker.
Drew Elliott has speed and works very hard, he's another guy I'd consider with a late first or second round pick (like Kidney).
Overall I'd say the Trois-Rivieres guys improved their draft stock big time. Bolduc looks like a top 5 guy, Guevin has taken strides to get into the first round and Pellerin and Bedard were outstanding as well.
I absolutely loved Charles Boutin from SSF, always did but man did he breakout now that he finally has more ice-time. Looked like a solid first round talent to me.
Was a fun tournament, still think it would be nice to see more equal divisions. Magog, Trois-Rivieres and Gatineau in the same division is pretty tough.

Looks like Yargeau is already playing for Magog.
ya his family is 50/50...Halifax of course is pursuing him local kid with size and amazing talent...I think he will look at coming QMJHL when all is said and done.
It seems to me that most here have little idea about the qmjhl draft it is not just a quebec draft it also covers the atlantic provinces. I see no mention of Zach Dean on here anywhere and he may be the best of the bunch, he is lighting up the gthl minor minor midget league, much better than Mcdonald, he has proven that tournament after tournament.

So, Cam MacDonald is a top 5 pick BUT Zach Dean should go in the first three rounds? Not quite sure how much of Dean you’ve actually seen. Take out Shane Wright and he’s the best forward in the GTHL. A projected top 5 pick for the OHL draft if was eligible.Atlantic Stock is as high this year as i have seen it in the last 5 or so years. A lot of very talented players will not only get drafted but will go on to be impact players at the next level. Whynot and Macdonald are very high picks both in top 5 i'd say, Dean is extremely crafty and his speed alone is exceptional, not sure on if he is a 1st round talent yet but most definitely top 3 rounds.

That’s the wrong Cam MacDonald.Am I correct to assume you mean Providence College?
Don’t know what you think you read but I don’t know where in my post I said Dean is WAY better than MacDonald. My point was, to say Cam MacDonald is a top 5 pick while Dean could go in the third round is a little crazy. That would infer that MacDonald is clearly WAY better than Dean. To be fair, I’ve only seen MacDonald and Dean go head to head in one tournament but in that tournament Dean was named tournament MVP and was better than MacDonald in the two games they played against each other.Seems like you two either havent seen Macdonakd enough or dont have the ability to watch without bias. Dean is good no doubt, but to say he is way better then Macdonald is absurd.

Then why reference my post and direct your resonse at “you two”. My post was not meant to show any disrespect to MacDonald in any way shape or form - he’s an excellent hockey player. My point is, even if you think MacDonald is better than Dean, he’s not that much better where he’d go top 5 and Zach Dean would go in the third round.Other quote in my post said Dean is much better.
Top 10 a little bit of a stretch for Zach, think he will fall anywhere in the 50-60 region, last time i checked neither McQuaid or Graham were ranked in the top 100.... that was as of 2 weeks ago. Obviously could change but only 3 islanders were in the top 100 (D-biggar, D-Squires and G-J.Smith )
