C Gabriel Fontaine - Sherbrooke Phoenix, QMJHL (2015 undrafted)

[Griffin]

Wondering what the hype is on Fontaine. Good build at 6'1", 179, but has only put up 11 pts in 33 games this season in his second full QMJHL season. Is he being overshadowed by Sherbrooke's top line? Is he a defensive wizard? I would expect an NHL draft pick, even late round, to have more production than 0.33 points per game. Anyone in Quebec have any insight?

not from Quebec, but watched a lot of QMJHL hockey thanks to their free web streams.

Personally was quite shocked that he was ranked, while a guy like Schwery was not. He looked like an average CHL Bottom 6er to me, far from getting drafted. Not bad defensively, but not special either.
