RW Nathan Légaré (2019, 74th, PIT; traded to MTL; traded to NJD)

[thrillhous]

He is overage born 1999 and already select by San jose in 7th round in 2017

Not an overage player. This is his draft + 2 season, not his draft + 3 season.

 

[Thebesthockey]

Continues his stealth production mode


expect him to go first round 15-22nd

There has to be something concerning his game, other than his goal scoring and physique presence that scouts aren't happy about.

Skating, positioning, engagement for the whole game, defensive coverage, hockey IQ etc. (I'm wondering what is it)

Because right now he is not cracking any scouts or scouting lists 1st round.

He's a project player for sure. Skating needs some work and he has a lot of help around him on his team in guys like Fortier, Chekovich, Alexeyev. He hasn't proven that he can have that line driving ability that can dictate the game for his team. He doesn't have the abilities that his Q counterparts Pelletier, Poulin and Lavoie have.

Would a 50 goal season rise Nathan's stock? 44 goals this season, needs 6 more in his last 4 regular season games to reach 50
not sure can he do that, but if he would, could he be drafted higher with a 50 goal season under his belt?.

Scouts are not always right you know. Just because few scouts see's problem with his game, others probably wont.
Gotta wait and see i guess.

Sometimes it feels that they are more wrong than right, am i right?

 

[Thebesthockey]

He will be the steal of the draft

I don't think he'll be higher on any scout's list if he ends up with 50 goals rather than 47. Round numbers should not be a factor in scouting.

Yeah.

 

[Thebesthockey]

same disrespect to the Q that veleno got
scouts will never learn
maybe some of them should actually try getting out

It's not scouting per se, it's human psychology.

 

[Lays]

Named assistant captain for the u18s. One of my favorite eligible guys

 

[Vachon23]

In 2nd round he worth a shoot

 

[Thebesthockey]

Finally some respect for him



anything outside late first , early second...is a steal

Thanks again from these.

Is this guy going to be a huge steal in the 2nd round?

I'm not sure. He's slow, looks sluggish out there but the rest is on point. Shot and release are great, knows where to be and his net presence is outstanding. Strong on the puck, and has put up numbers his entire life and been one of the elite 01s for a few years now.

If he had a good first few steps he wouldn't fall out of the top 20 picks IMO. Skating is a big concern though. Could be a Mark Stone or could be one of the many, many players who can't keep up with NHL skating.

 

[Frk It]

Reminds me so much of Martin Frk as a prospect.

Thats not a good thing lol

 

[Washington]

Not a big fan of his game tbh. He has some good tools but he doesn't stand out at all. He's not a great skater and can look lost on some shifts. Would take him if he's still there in the 4th round but I think his numbers are giving off an illusion that he's an offensive juggernaut which just isn't the case.

 

[MMC]

Welcome to Pittsburgh!

 

[Jacob]

What kinda team is Baie-Comeau expected to have next season?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

2 preseason goals already for Penguins, vs Blue Jackets. (in 23 seconds)

 

[MichaelFarrell]

Two good goals for Legare. I really like his size for his age and he has a very good shot. Good first showing.
