LW Zachary L'Heureux - Moncton Wildcats, QMJHL (2021, 27th, NSH)

[Chuck Downie]

Was at his first Q game at the Eastlink Centre in Charlottetown on Friday. Really stood out considering it was his first game and picked up an assist in Moncton's 3-2 OT win. Another assist last night in a 4-3 loss to Saint John. Drafted 3rd overall in the 2019 QMJHL draft.

9 pts in 5 games for the 16 years old player. Not bad at all.

He'll be happy whatever happens.

This kid can play physical and top end skill. He will be a top prospect for 2021. Watched him dominate Canada Games and his AAA games in Chateauguay. Enjoy watching this kid play the game.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

leads his team in points (15), goals (7, 2 player tie), SOG (43),
2nd in Q rookie scoring, 2nd in goals.

Very impressed with his start this year. Has been put in a position to produce with Pelletier and Khovanov and probably won't look back. Has a very nice skillset.

He plays on the third line now. They’re trying to spread the offence out a bit more.

He’s been very impressive so far.

Does what’s asked of him, great attitude and a very hard worker. Doesn’t back down, isn’t phased easily, plays on the edge, competitive. Deceptively skilled, underrated passing and is still developing his scoring ability. In the midst of an upward progression, he hasn’t stopped getting better since his first year Bantam. Hes built like a truck and is a great skater, goes to the dirty areas and leads by example. Handles adversity well, was blocked by HQ from playing Midget AAA at 14, broke his foot that year and had a nice bounce back last year.

I have nothing but good things to say about him, he will play in the National Hockey League for a very long time.

Likely heading to Halifax it would seem.

Woah, Moncton will have a good return if true.

i believe the rumor is McIsaac and Groulx are both heading to Moncton

i believe the rumor is McIsaac and Groulx are both heading to Moncton

Would be a great trade for both team imo.

[nbwingsfan]

He’s been every bit as good, maybe even better, than Pelletier was for Moncton at 16.

He will be a sure fire 1st rd pick IMO

He’s bigger so that will be one less knock than Pelletier had.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Eh fail to see how the deal gets done without him unless it is Desnoyers and handfuls of 1st round picks. Still expecting to see L'Heureux involved even if it happens at the draft or something.

It’s been said that McIsaac would only accept a trade to Moncton and nowhere else. That may have tied Halifax’s hands.

....Add in Groulx and the price is still going to be extremely steep even if you assume McIsaac came at a slight discount. There is just no way the trade doesn't take a big chunk out of Monctons futures.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

I also heard Moncton wouldn’t trade him.

 

[wein]

I also heard Moncton wouldn’t trade him.

Even if they did, you’d expect him to carry the same value as Joe Veleno did when he was traded (3 1sts and 2 2nds) especially since he’s a year younger than when Veleno was traded. He’s got 31 points in 25 games. He’s arguably playing better now without Pelletier and Khovanov than he did with them.

 

[hotcarle]

I think this a guy the Canadiens might actually get.

 

[Number 57]

There is a rumour he is going to be traded to Halifax this week, to complete a trade deadline deal with Moncton

 

[BondraTime]

That was the expectation since it happened. Halifax will be sending draft picks they got at the deadline back. Not sure how the season ending early changes things, if any.

RDS' Stephane Leroux confirms the trade to Halifax
