After playing his rookie season in Cape Breton, Alexis Toussaint will be headed to Chicoutimi for his sophomore year, as the Saguenéens acquired the young centre for a 2026 sixth-round pick Sunday morning.
Toussaint, 18, put up three goals and four assists in 59 games last season with the Eagles, his first after being drafted in the sixth round of the 2023 QMJHL draft.
The 6-foot-1 pivot will look to see his role grow on his new team, as he spent most of last season as a bottom-six centre.

As of now, Toussaint does not have any commitments with a USports or NCAA program, and will likely need to flaunt more of a scoring touch to get any looks down south.
