2020 6th round pick Philippe Daoust makes his debut on our Top 25 Under 25 ranking after an impressive third season in the QMJHL.
Daoust, 20, is one of the more interesting prospects in the Ottawa Senators organization, and could be primed for a breakout year in 2022-23. After failing to stand out in minor hockey and being passed over in the CHL draft, he got an opportunity to prove himself as a free agent with the Moncton Wildcats in 2019-20. He played well enough that the Sens took a chance on him in the sixth round of that year’s draft.
