C/W Xavier Bourgault - Shawinigan Cataractes, QMJHL (2021, 22nd, EDM)

[Alex Taxman]

Bourgault is on an absolute tear. He's got tons of skill and obvious chemistry with Mavrik Bourque. Bourgault has scored some pretty impressive goals so far this year, and created a ton of others. Looks like another candidate for the 15-25 range. He's the Cataractes 2nd leading scorer with 19G + 16A in 36GP.

About time he got a thread. Someone I didn’t pay much attention to before this year, but he’s showing a lot of talent. Just adding to what should be a strong QMJHL class.

Going to be a super strong CHL class at the top of the draft. I could see 20-25 getting taken in the 1st.

 

[Number 57]

At this point I think Bourgault is a first rounder

Tracking as such this season, for sure.

Who is he playing with?.
Is he playing with Bourque? If so, does his point/goal totals inflate a little because he plays with Bourque,
Who undoubtedly will go in the top 20 this year.

Plays a lot with Bourque. As someone who's watched most of it, the counterpoint is that Bourque doesn't have the same production without Bourgault. When they're together, they're dynamic.

Ah. Thank you.

6 points saturday and 4 points tonight
He now has 29 goals and 27 assists for 56 points in 49 games.

He is making his case for a possible first round pick for sure

[Killerjas]

The Rossi of the 2021 draft

 

[Dominance]

You have to think Bourque will be back next year, and he will have an even more productive campaign. Definite first round projection.

The Rossi of the 2021 draft

I wouldnt go as far, but yeah, he is good, better than Bourque IMO...

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

He's impressed me when I've watched Mavrik Bourque. Definitely tracking to be a 1st-rounder.

 

[TopC0rner]

Fully concur! Better than Bourque.

 

[QJL]

I see Bourgault as one the most underrated players in the draft. To be honest I think he’s off to a bit of a slow start given my expectation. Don’t be surprised if he comes away scoring near a goal per game.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Great return. A hatty!.

Now 9 points in his last 5 games.

10 goals in 11 games so far this season.

 

[Jabba11]

He will be a top 10 prospect by the end of the year. And wouldn't surprise me if he goes top 5 when it's all said and done. Not a very strong draft for him to rocketed up the rankings just like Huberdeau did.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Scored his 11th goal already this season

[Number 57]

His team was just upset by Rimouski in the 1st round. Rimouski has a pretty average squad and was missing their top player, Zachary Bolduc. Not sure if this will have an effect on his draft ranking. He registered 4 assists in 5 games
