Is he a power forward?
So a big and skilled guy who uses his size to his advantage to protect the puck and is fine in the corners. But won't try to put people through the wall like a Crouse, Virtanen or Kane. How would people compare him to 16 year old Comtois and Dubois?More of a Mantha type from what I've seen, if you want to consider that a power forward in this day and age most wouldn't really dispute it, but he isn't a Lawson Crouse type if that's what you mean.

Fair enough, it is very hard to remember where you held players at certain points. I try to obviously remember how I had guys benchmarked pre-draft, but if someone asked me about a D-1 season with a guy struggling in his draft year I would have similar issues. Thanks for your response. This could be the best draft class out of the Q in awhile. Currently I can think of 4 guys who might challenge for the top 10 (MacIssac, Veleno, MacDonald and Groulx) and that is before we start thinking about imports that could come.He's a much better finisher than Dubois was at that age, but he plays more of a waiting game rather than Dubois who was a workhorse in all 3 zones. Comtois and MacDonald are different players although have similar strengths and weaknesses.
I think MacDonald has even more of a goal scoring touch than Comtois and is even bigger. This has been a disappointing year for Comtois after exceeding even high expectations last year, much like MacDonald is doing this year so it's hard to compare the two knowing what I know now, but I think MacDonald has the higher ceiling than Comtois was ever perceived to in my eyes.

Benched for half a pound
Again, Anderson MacDonald was benched in the first period. Last week, the rookie also missed the first two 20 in Shawinigan, due to extra weight.
In fact, a scale awaits MacDonald at the arena before each game. If he weighs more than 201 pounds, he can not play, an agreement between the player and coach Stéphane Julien.
But Anderson MacDonald would have liked to help his team win early on Wednesday night.
"I weighed half a pound too much before the game," he said. An hour before the game, the coaches told me that if I still weighed above 201 pounds, I could not play."
Stéphane Julien assumes his decision.
"Rules are rules. We do not ask him the moon. I keep my guideline and out of respect for the other players, I want every agreement to be respected. Anderson does not make the effort. The question of weight is not what disturbs me the most. Anderson must take care of him, be more disciplined, professional and organized. I do it for him, because if he does not take hockey seriously, he will quickly realize that talent is not enough."
"Some players knew before the game and they were disappointed to learn that I was not going to play the game, MacDonald said. We want those who can play to be on the ice to help us to the series. This is not an ideal time to apply this rule. If I weighed five pounds more I would understand, but half a pound? I understand Stéphane and I do not blame him, but I'm disappointed. "
His coach is questioning his work ethic.
