Prospect Info: Maxence Guénette (187th overall pick, 2019)

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Maxence Guénette at eliteprospects.com

Looks interesting... my buddy pegs him as a potentially above average pro

Very strong

Struggles with consistency

Good size and frame, ability to impact game on both sides of the puck

Slight notch in his first step but a quick, fluid skater and effective glider

Offensive minded but rarely leads the rush

Good at getting shots through traffic

Good poise under physical pressure and good at handling rolling pucks

Decision making can be questionable at times in terms of forcing passes or shooting when he doesnt have time

Projects as a 3rd pair DMan who can impact the game but will need to find a niche

I feel like this is the first pick all day that brought genuine intrigue and excitement. Seems like he was expected to go sooner, which is always a positive in my books. Adding another RD to the system is always a plus.

 

[BK201]

Another right shot D i see they really value that.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Best pick today

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

Great value pick.

 

[Beville]

Solid write up but glad the day is over

 

[aragorn]

Filling a position of need again.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Filling a position of need again.

...totally ok with the team doing that in the last couple of rounds. Heck, teams should be doing that in the second half of the draft. It's doing it in the first round over bpa which is a head-scratcher.

I must admit that I am secretly high on this kid since the day we drafted him for no obvious reason.
I wouldn't rank him anywhere near our best D prospects but anyway, what do you guys think about him and his future as Senator?

I don't see him make it as a regular in the bigs with this organization tbh.

 

[God Says No]

If he becomes a solid contributor in the AHL, I'll consider it a win.
