This year the QJMHL top 3 will be represented at the draft by Jakub Voracek, Angelo Esposito and David Perron, let's get a look at their profile !
Jakub Voracek : At 6'2 and 190 pnds, Voracek is a talented winger with great size, a nose for the net and exemplary determination along the boards, don't under-estimate his play making abilities, for a rookie in the Q, he was named Offensive player of the week twice, won the Michel Bergeron trophy ( Rookie producing offense ), RDS Trophy ( rookie of the year ), All Star Rookie team and Rookie of the month for October ! Voracek has always excelled at all levels and is already showing the N.A game is a great fit for him.
Angelo Esposito : At 6'1 and 185 pnds, Esposito packages a great mix of talent, skill and determination. After a stellar rookie season and an adaptation period following the loss of Offensive jugernaut Alexander Radulov, Esposito went on to have a good season for the Remparts, some have mentionned the knock on Esposito is his inaction in the corners and lack of physical play, but he answered the call this year with a strong Top 50 finish in the Q with hits and showing physical implication. He captained the Under 18 team at the world championships and took home the Mike Bossy trophy ( Best professional prospect ), He was invited to the top prospect game in the CHL and made the CHL all star game both years he has spent in the Q.
David Perron : At 6'0 and 180 pnds, David Perron has all the tools it takes to be a power-forward. A physically imposing player in the Q, with great intial speed on the rush and a damning presence in front of the net, Perron has shown an ability to make the ice look bigger for his teammates with good hockey sense and puck protection, the knock on Perron is consistency, but he plays a man's game and to expect his body to be at peak during 80 games might be asking too much, and may be construed as a lack of effort. David Perron got Rookie of the month honors early on this season and also made it to the Top Prospect and All Star game, As Lewiston went on to the Memorial Cup he notched a three point effort in 4 games which is respectable !
