It’s easy to pay attention to the shiny new tool in the set and disregard the ones that have been sitting there for years. Daniel Audette finds himself in a similar position ahead of his third professional season within the Montreal Canadiens system.
The Habs drafted him in the fifth round of the 2014 draft after a 76-point season with the Sherbrooke Phoenix in the QMJHL. But with 21 of those points being goals while the other 27 were primary assists, it was apparent that Audette had the skill to create on his own (via prospect-stats).
