This page will receive live updates throughout the NHL draft to inform you on the players selected from the QMJHL over the course of the two-day event.
Round 1
No. 4 Caleb Desnoyers (Moncton) - Utah Mammoth
- 56 GP, 35 G, 49 A, 84 PTS
"Not only was Desnoyers one of the top regular season scorers, he finished second in playoff points while leading Moncton to a QMJHL title. Yes, he was playing for a powerhouse team, but Desnoyers was also a major reason why the Wildcats were such a force." - Kennedy (Ranked 6th)
"Desnoyers is smart and plays very solid positional hockey, ensuring that he can always exploit mistakes or take advantage of opportunities that fall into his lap. His passing is the strong point of his offensive game, and he could be quite the playmaker on the power play. Desnoyers is a very good player who could end up being a very steady, complementary center who fits in perfectly with a play-driving winger." - Ferrari (Ranked 15th)
No. 19 Justin Carbonneau (Blainville-Boisbriand) - St. Louis Blues
- 62 GP, 46 G, 43 A, 89 PTS
"There's a lot to like in Carbonneau, a power forward who put up impressive offensive numbers in the QMJHL this season. But like a lot of young players, Carbonneau has issues with consistency. If he can get a handle on that, he'll have a solid future in the NHL." - Kennedy (Ranked 17th)
"With hands that can dazzle and the desire to funnel pucks to the middle, Carbonneau could be such an interesting top-six contributor. He can make plays with opposing defenders on him and handle pressure, but he isn’t a true power forward, excelling when he is in space with his eyes up." - Ferrari (Ranked 28th)
No. 22 Bill Zonnon (Rouyn-Noranda) - Pittsburgh Penguins
- 64 GP, 28 G, 55 A, 83 PTS
"Zonnon is a skilled playmaker who draws defenders in and then plays the puck through their vacated space. His skating is a little wonky-looking, but he never fails to get to his spot, and he wins races to the puck with regularity. Zonnon may not be a high-end producer, but he makes a team vastly better because of the qualities that he brings every shift." - Ferrari (Ranked 14th)
"We asked four different scouts about Zonnon, and they all used the same words in their assessments of him. 'I love him.' they all said. There are more talented players and definitely more explosive players, but there are few others who match Zonnon in intangibles." - Kennedy (Ranked 29th)
