With 80 points in 70 games for the WHL’s Medicine Hat Tigers, David Quenneville is an attractive defensive prospect. Thankfully, the New York Islanders drafted him 200th overall in the sixth round of the 2016 NHL draft.
And today, the New York Islanders signed their draftee to a three year ELC. The terms of the deal have yet to be released.
“So wait, why did a guy who put up 80 points get drafted in the sixth round? Did it come out of nowhere?”
Size Doesn’t Matter
Sorta. In his draft year, Quenneville put up 55 points in 64 games from the back end.
