[Ehran]

Looks like the Sabres finally went with some size.

 

[m0pe]

Nadeau was 87 on my list.

Not tons of upside but a pretty good chance at a bottom-6 winger.

Strong. Physical. Does a good job of winning battles. High IQ player with some good vision but I think the offense is limited other than that. Not tons in the way of puck skills imo and his skating needs lots of work.

[Meichel Kane]

The classic 3 to 9 scale.

 

[Orange Fanta]

Mark stone lite-lite?

 

[RWatson29]

If this kid can fix his skating (probably easiest thing to fix) he could be a decent player. Has good iq and tools besides skating. Still can’t believe we had a draft like this.

This kid likes to hit. Very much impressed with the few videos I just watched

Another G+A for him tonight. Seems like he's off to a strong start.

Nadeau's goal from this afternoon:

 

[Fjordy]

He is one of the best scorers QMJHL, impressive.

 

[Woodhouse]

Nadeau just potted a rebound for his fourth of the afternoon and he's up to six points tonight.

 

[m0pe]

Adds another assist. 7 point afternoon.

Gotta be honest, I was a fan of him as a projectable player, but didn't really expect this offense output this season.

Will have to check him out and see if his skating has improved greatly. His goal scoring ability clearly has.

 

[Fjordy]

Wow, kid on fire

 

[Woodhouse]

Game's over now, an 8-5 win. He scored the GWG (hat trick) and insurance (#4) goal in the third and added a secondary assist late to ice it, finished with a cool 7-point night. With 21 points (11+10) now, only his teammate Bourgault (10+14) has more in the QMJHL; he leads in goals.

 

[Ace]

Couldn’t get in on that 8th goal the team scored? What a bum.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Couldn’t get in on that 8th goal the team scored? What a bum.

Seriously Sam Ganger got 8 points in an NHL game, and this kid can't even pull it off in the Q? Bust.

 

[Fjordy]

I liked this pick during the draft.

 

[flashsabre]

If they can improve his skating the kid has a future. Every other part of his game is there.
