Alex Brien goes to @Foreurs at 206
He moves very well in the crease and displays good fluidity in his skating. His athletic profile allows him to make difficult saves and remain competitive against quality opposition.
134
Moncton selects Alexis Houle at 198
Houle is a tall, agile goaltender who combines good technical habits with above-average mobility. He
tracks the game well and consistently displays strong anticipatory instincts, allowing him to stay ahead of
developing plays.

Édouard Couture with @SagueneensLHJMQ at 179.
He plays with excellent compete level and never seems willing to give up on a play. His technique is already
quite refined, and he combines that structure with impressive speed and mobility
I had him ranked 37th
72
I like this pick by @ArmadaBLB. Matthew Darby at 177.
He is a fast and efficient goalie who combines solid technical foundations with strong overall
crease control.
78
Great value by @OlympiquesGAT picking Zachary Botelho at 175.
Botelho is a very athletic and explosive goaltender who immediately stands out because of his speed and
quickness. His footwork is excellent and he transitions effortlessly from one movement to another.
79
Alexis Noël picked at 170 by @CBEHockey
His skating ability and edge
work immediately stood out, allowing him to move efficiently and maintain strong positioning through
sequences.
He was 24th on my board

Potential steal by @HFXMooseheads taking William Laplante at 151.
From a skating and mobility
standpoint, he sits at the very top of this draft class. His movements are fluid, controlled, and effortless,
often making it appear as though he is gliding across the crease.

Philippe Harvey with @SJSeaDogs at 149.
He attacks plays confidently and consistently uses his body to get in front of
puck. I ranked him 23rd
67
Interesting pick by @oceanicrimouski who take Jesse Bernardinelli at 144. One of my favorites American goalie this year.

124
Great value pick by @IslandersHKY at 123 with Caleb Pelletier.
Pelletier grades positively in almost
every category. While his ceiling may not be as high as some of the names above him, he offers one of
the highest floors in the class and projects as a reliable long-term option

Xavier Lesage to @ArmadaBLB at 93.
Lesage remains one of the more intriguing developmental projects in the class. The foundation is there, the movement skills are strong, and with continued refinement he has the
potential to outperform his draft slot.
74
First goalie from M17AAA goes to @CBEHockey at 92
Kingston Delisle projects as a prospect with a relatively high
floor and potential long-term starter upside.
85
Édouard Salvas is now selected by @ForeursVD at 73.
Salvas is extremely quick, explosive, and aggressive in the way
he attacks shooters. He uses his speed to give himself a chance on difficult saves and competes
relentlessly around his crease.
He was 8th on my goalies list.
74
George-Nektariod Panagakos with @TigresVicto at 83.
His blend of size and technical discipline makes him one of the more projectable goaltenders in the draft
and I do see him being picked early. I ranked him as the 7th best goalie.
91
Xavier Gervais to @oceanicrimouski at 74
The combination of size, edge control, and overall composure makes him one of the
more intriguing upside bets in this class. He remains somewhat raw, but the foundation is extremely
promising.
He was the 6th goalie on my board

Colby O’Shaughnessy goes to @IslandersHKY.
« If his puck tracking continues to improve, his technical foundation
alone gives him one of the highest ceilings in this class and makes him a very intriguing project. »
He was 3rd on my board

Simon-Olivier Guérard with @Cataractes_Shaw in round 2!
Strong positioning combined with high-end skating mechanics is often a recipe for long-term success. Among the goalies in this class, Guérard may possess the highest floor and one of the safest projections moving forward.

A second goalie in 1st round. Nathan Boulanger @DrakkarBAC at 18.
Boulanger has a calming presence in net that gives confidence to the players in front of him. His ability to
slow the game down and maintain control under pressure should translate extremely to the next level

First goalie off the board! Zachary Lainesse goes to @HuskiesRn. With pick 15 of the 1st round
« With his combination of physical
tools, skating ability, and competitive nature, Lainesse possesses all the ingredients to become a high-
impact goaltender at the next level. »
