"Fast & Frequent Scorer" Maxime Fortier: 2016 NHL Draft Prospect Profile

Related Topics: NHL Entry Draft

My general thinking for a prospect projected to go in the later rounds is to favor someone who has been successful in their respective league. Sure, points aren't everything for a prospect. Just because someone racked up a ton of points doesn't mean their skillset will translate to the next level. At the same time, production is evidence that the player's performances have been fruitful in some regard. I'd like to think "diamonds in the rough" are found in the NHL Draft when someone slips through the cracks despite how successful they've been for their team. One possible player may be today's subject for this profile: Maxime Fortier.
