The Sea Dogs have the first overall pick - but who they select is still up in the air if you believe any media reports. The top players available are forwards Joshua Roy and Justin Robidas - both from Quebec. Roy seems to have the edge on Robidas, but now there is a report questioning if he is committed to the QMJHL.
According to Kevin Dube le Journal de Quebec, Roy may not attend the Entry Draft:
The Sea Dogs could easily go with Robidas - who was ranked as the top prospect by HockeyProspect.com - or go with a riskier move and draft Fredericton native Peter Reynolds, who is a Boston College commit.Bombe dans la #LHJMQ : à quelques heures du repêchage, l'espoir Joshua Roy est en réflexion et reconsidère ses options. Il pourrait ne pas être présent demain au Centre Vidéotron.— Kevin Dubé (@KDubeJDQ) June 8, 2019
According to JF Plante of the Gatineau le Droit, Reynolds may not be at the draft either:
Les #Seasogs auraient confirmé à Peter Reynolds qu’il serait le 1er choix du repêchage #lhjmq demain. Sa réponse. Je n’y vais pas. #pourlemoment— jf plante (@jfplante_Droit) June 8, 2019
There are always reporting concerns at the QMJHL Entry Draft, but they are more prominent this year than perhaps ever before.
Who will the Sea Dogs take first overall? Will any players be at the draft? We'll find out this morning beginning at a 11 a.m.Believed 9 of 21 top ranked players are considering NCAA. Interesting Patrick Roy in Quebec is among most vocal about wanting to make a change despite the fact the Remps have benefited from NCAA "bluffs" in the past. Also worth noting- two smallest markets won Q last 2 years.— Patrick McNeil (@CBSE_pbp) June 7, 2019
