Gabriel Fortier is a player who seems to leap off the ice when you watch his team. He isn’t a top prospect, but should go in the second or third round of the NHL Entry Draft.
Fortier is listed as a left wing, but played centre all year for the Baie-Comeau Drakkar and made an impact in all situations. For a first-year draft eligible player, he showed all sorts of things you want to see in a player.
