Prospect Info: 2021 Entry Draft #139 - Manix Landry (C)

[The Feckless Puck]

Manix Landry at eliteprospects.com

Landry forechecks, backchecks, and attacks with energy. He doesn’t give up in his pursuit of the puck until he’s secured possession, reloading and launching himself at puck-carriers two or three times if needed. His game is very inside-driven; his aim, with and without the puck, is to get to the middle of the ice. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide

Whaaaaaaaat?!?!? I had no idea he was still on the board! Great pick! Hustle player. All motor.

Always one of the hardest workers on the ice, Manix Landry could be one of those prospects that fly under the radar as a late-round pick, then bursts onto the NHL scene as a top-six forward. Lauded for his speed, tenacity, soft hands, and overall never-say-die attitude, he has all the attributes of a player everyone loves playing with, but never against. His motor probably runs the hottest of any in this draft class as he never backs down on the forecheck, backcheck, or any foray into the offensive zone.

Says naturally a Center, but played mostly Left Wing in Gatineau

Wow. I always took him way earlier to an this in my mock drafts. Think Nick Cousins/Josh Archibald type but hopefully at center. Poor man’s Cizikas. Could be fan-favorite 4C some day.

Really good channel for getting excited about the upcoming draft. He got me really excited about Dawson Mercer. Then I got to watch New Jersey take him with our pick. Good times!

Another one ?

Well we offered him a contract last year and this year he was injured for part of the season. He's got some talent. I actually like his game but he's one of those guys that you will just shrug your shoulders if they don't end up signing him because by the end of this next draft we will have about 5 players who will all be ahead of him on the depth chart.

 

[Art.Vandelay]

This came up in Craig's montly Q&A. His response:

I don’t think Manix Landry’s play warrants anything more than an AHL contract. He just hasn’t panned out.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I agree...he's never even approached a PPG in the Q, so I wouldn't expect him to get a contract at all.
