When compiling research for this years NHL Draft, one name that continued to pop up in mock drafts, scouting reports, and on fan wishlists was Zachary L’Heureux of the Halifax Mooseheads. Despite standing 5’11”, L’Heureux plays the game like someone much larger in terms of on-ice aggression and physicality.
After trading for Josh Anderson, and adding some sandpaper in Joel Edumundson, it isn’t hard to see why Montreal would be interested in the local centreman. He brings a certain element that the prospect pool doesn’t have right now, but he also has the skills to separate himself from past failed power forward experiments.
