Some excellent quotes here. My favorite:

When put in the perfume of the words of his friends, Veleno briefly drops his eyes and sketches a shy smile, but he hastens to approve their evaluation.

If he becomes any of those guys at pick 30 thats still really good. Brassard didnt last long but he had 60 points one season, has a 27 goal season as well. Very legit second line center. No one liked Ribeiro because he was a *****e but he had 27 goals and 83 points one season and broke 70 a couple more times as well. Not a fan of Drouin because of his attitude but looks like he'll be at least a 60 point solid second liner for a while.

I think Drouin and Ribeiro had bad attitudes but if Veleno ends up as talented as them with his work ethic/attitude combination, he'll be a very good player for a long time

and LaPointe is kinda a joke of a comparable considering league-wide scoring was literally 25% higher that year than it is now AND he did it in his D+2 year

51 points in 27 games. Not bad for a guy who lacks offensive upside, and will be a 3rd line center AT BEST in the NHL.

Could be the steal of the draft. I don't want to get too excited, but he's absolutely killing it.

 

[Perfect Human]

He currently leads the Q in points per game

 

[Tatar Shots]

These numbers seem really high

 

[Frk It]

Was a big fan last year, had him ranked 11 or 12 I believe. The jump in goal scoring has been a pleasant surprise, but otherwise not too surprised he’s having a strong year.

He’s my type of center. Fast + shifty playmaker, good in all zones.

With Veleno and Larkin doing what they are, I would go for the guy you think this year has the highest offensive upside in the draft. I wonder if we draft a guy like Turcotte or Krebs who have similar traits, or go for someone who brings something else to the table like Dach or Cozens.

Any highlight videos of all these points? Want to see how he looks.

The Q posts highlights of every game on theqmjhl.ca

I'm sure there will be some midseason highlight videos made some point soon.

The right-handed shots and fit with what we are building really fits the last two in my opinion.

I would agree... but starting to wonder if we will be picking in the range to get those guys?

3 Assists for Veleno today in an 11-1 Win... Sadly, his 7 game Goal Scoring Streak was snapped... 31 Points in his last 9 Games

So his stats as he heads to Juniors

28 Games 22 Goals 32 Assists 54 Points +31... Not Bad

He's rounding into form at the just the right time.

Vegas gambled and lost. Pun intended. Kenny H might have beat the house lol

The kid needs some media training. He's got a real "uhhhh, ya know..." problem. Once I noticed it I couldn't listen to anything else he had to say

Thanks man... now when I get this cats autograph I'll make sure it reads :"uh...You know, Joe Veleno"

I really hope this isn't a huge worry for you. He is pretty much a kid

Yes. Note how I acknowledged that he is a "kid" and offered up a potential solution without attacking him.

It's something people in the public eye need to learn, and considering he dropped about 7 of them in 30 seconds and never slowed down that pace, it could do him some good.

 

[RedHawkDown]

I hope he stays super awkward in the media. The NHL needs more personalities, whether that’s awkward dudes or super outgoing dudes. Everyone is exactly the same in interviews and it’s mind numbing
