Drafted: 5th Round, 147th Overall in 2014
2015-16 Team: Sherbrooke Phoenix (52 GP-22 G-37 A-59 Pts-53 PIM)
The son of ex-Canadiens forward Donald Audette, Daniel Audette is a small forward with a lot of offensive skill. As with fellow prospect Jeremiah Addison, whom we covered yesterday, Audette was a bit of a draft day steal for the Canadiens. Central Scouting ranked the diminutive center 75th among North American skaters in 2014 and he was a projected 3rd round pick.
Daniel just finished up his 4th and final season with Sherbrooke, playing as an alternate captain for a 3rd consecutive season.
