Early look at 2020 QMJHL draft so far

[quebec west]

I don't think that teams rely that much on those websites. Teams have their own list and perform interviews. They usually don't rely on CSR or other scouting agency.

The csr list is fairly close for at least the first five rounds, there might be a 10 to 12 pick difference, which is pretty good. I’ve never really compared other lists.

I would say that CSR is fairly close for the first 3 rounds. Take a look a last 2 years draft from Round 4.

They should focus on a list for the first 5 rounds and regroup all other players eligible into one category. The CSR scouts see very few games from other league that Midget AAA. They can't have a reliable opinion on players from other leagues.

I would say that CSR is fairly close for the first 3 rounds. Take a look a last 2 years draft from Round 4.

Last year only:

ROUND 4: 5 players were ranked rounds 6 to 8 by CSR and another one was ranked round 13-14
ROUND 5: 7 players were ranked rounds 6 to 8 by CSR and 3 others were ranked 13-14
ROUND 6: First 2 players selected in that round were ranked 13+ by CSR.

I won't get into round 7 to 10 because it's even worse. 23 players ranked Round 13-14 were picked in the first 10 rounds.

They should focus on a list for the first 5 rounds and regroup all other players eligible into one category. The CSR scouts see very few games from other league that Midget AAA. They can't have a reliable opinion on players from other leagues.

Is the CSR list out or are you a scout with inside info?

 

[Prospect Tracker]

I'm talking about previous years. No info on this year's list but I predict it will be similar.

 

[quebec west]

Like I said, pretty accurate. When you get past round 4 it’s a bit of a crapshoot. Teams have different needs and different opinions on how certain players will improve. A player projected to go in R6 to 8 who goes at the end of 5 is not that much off.

csr list should be available Friday, maybe they release it right after the lottery. We’ll have things to debate soon.....

If after round 4 is a crapshoot, why don't they just list all the players available instead of trying to speculate as they do right now?

No idea

 

[quebec west]

Draft lottery done, anyone going to attempt a mock draft before the csr comes out?

Thanks . Site crashed for me, pretty embarrassing for the Q. I hope the full draft goes better.

So now we know the ordre. What does the 1er round look like.

1- Luneau

After, flip a coin!

Lol, I kinda agree

 

[quebec west]

Gatineau has 4 first round picks. 2 D, 1F and 1G is my prediction

Halifax has 7 picks in the first three rounds plus the first in the fourth. G, 3D, 4F

 

[rolliethegoalie]

I am not so sure that it is a coin flip as you go from 1 to 15!

 

[quebec west]

It’s an expression, there are probably 5-6 kids who could go 2nd, only Gatineau knows!

Go ahead, mock draft. I won’t criticize, I might have a different opinion but that should be ok

 

[Prospect Tracker]

I won't commit into a Mock Draft but if I was Gatineau, I would go for Luneau, Verreault, Dumais or Coté (I love Côté's scoring /Dumais speed + play making) and Gravel or Filion in the first round. With their second round pick, they could go for a slightly bigger but skilled player like Fontaine.

Adding those to Dean, Boutin, Roelens, Legault, Bergeron and Lebel. They would have a pretty solid foundation for the 2022-2023 season.
