He's 100 % playing in the BCHL this year?
Didn't really impress me at the U17 Camp. First viewing though.
There is some word that he could go to Halifax. Has to be tempting with the squad they are building but he forgoes his college eligibility. If he thinks he's good enough it could be worth a shot.
Halifax is set no way hes top 6
he would play lines 3/4 at best
He's pretty damn talented and could force his way in. Parent, Zadina, Groulx, Newhook would be my guess at 4 of the top 6 of he makes it. Hischier isn't likely to be coming back.
parent wont even crack top six
even with hiscier not coming back ( i personally think he will)
there is durandeau/fortier/sompi/ lavoie / and many more
no way they are stacking lines 1& 2 with first and second year players

He 100% is that talented. This is a kid who if he was eligible for the OHL draft would have easily been a top 10 pick and likely a top 3-5 pick depending on if he'd report. He was in my opinion the 3rd best player in his Q draft. Maybe he doesn't start the year in the top 6 at 16 but by the end of the year there's no doubt in my mind that he'd be a top 6 forward on that team.
he is 100% that talented
the top 5 picks in the Q draft this year would have been #1 any other year
where does he fit in this depth chart ?
Hischier
Fortier
Durandeau
Zadina
Groulx
lavoie
parent
monihan
sompi
Dachyshyn
I'm going to ignore Hischier because he won't be back.
Fortier
Groulx
Zadina
Moynihan
Durandeau
somppi
parent
Newhook
lavoie
Dachyshyn
The top three lines I'd go into next year with including Newhook would be:
Zadina - Groulx - Fortier
Durandeau - Somppi - Moynihan
Parent - Lavoie - Newhook
That's at the start of the year but there is a lot of chances for people to shift around as the year goes along and given the fact that Parent is a centre could change things. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point during the year it shifts to:
Zadina - Groulx - Fortier
Newhook - Parent - Moynihan
Durandeau - Somppi - Lavoie
and if Hischier does come back ?
parent wont even crack top six
even with hiscier not coming back ( i personally think he will)

Tough to say but I wouldn't be surprised if Lavoie is the guy who gets bumped down in the lineup to the 4th line. Basing off my line combos above:
Zadina - Hischier- Fortier
Durandeau - Groulx - Moynihan
Parent - Somppi - Newhook
Zadina - Hischier- Fortier
Parent/Newhook - Groulx- Moynihan
Durandeau - Somppi - Newhook/Parent
Zadina, Hischier and Somppi can't be in the same lineup.
Seems to be off to a solid start in the BCHL , hard to tell based on his stats over the years if he's more of a goalscorer or a playmaker.
