QMJHL DRAFT RANKINGS
The Chronicle Herald’s Willy Palov has an article on the two players who could be the top two picks in this year’s
QMJHL Entry Draft.
“Sources around the league agree two
players have separated themselves as the best prospects available,” writes
Palov. “Shane Bowers from Herring Cove and Quebec’s Maxime Comtois both had
strong [Canada Games] tournaments, cementing their status as the top contenders to go No. 1
overall.”
Both are considered to be franchise
players. The wildcard in this is Joseph Veleno, an underage Quebec forward, who
is reportedly trying to get exceptional status from the league to
enter this year’s draft.
The Sea Dogs own the Drummondville
Voltigeurs’ first round pick which could end up being first overall.
