Zachary L'Heureux's Player Profile

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - July 12th: "The 18-year-old showed the ability to physically outmatch defenders down low and along the boards, but sometimes would go too far and was suspended four times."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - July 12th: "He's at his best when he's playing physical, driving to the net, and using his hands and offensive instincts."

Hockey Prospecting - July 8th: "L’Heureux’s underlying numbers all look good as well. L’Heureux suspensions are an issue. Are these character issues that will keep teams away. He’ll have to get a handle on that or the team drafting him will give up on him pretty quickly."

Brayden Olafson - Dobber Prospects - July 7th: "Furthermore, L’Heureux is beastly on the puck, using a substantial amount of upper body strength to buck off defenders, while maintaining reliable control of the puck. His movement of the puck is intricate and detailed, and can be leveraged in miniscule spaces, giving him an advantage while playing near the net."

Scott Wheeler - The Atheletic - June 22nd: "I’ve been warned by two sources about his attitude — he was suspended this year for spitting on an opponent — and he’s got a short temper that puts him in the penalty box too much for my liking."

Steve Kournianos - The Draft Analyst - May 24th: "There’s a lot of chatter about L’Heureux’s on-ice discipline issues following multiple suspensions, but we care a lot more about his complete insignificance against a strong Charlottetown squad (6 points in 15 games) versus his total domination of lowly Cape Breton (28 points in 13 games)."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - Apr. 23rd: "L'Heureux is a power forward who can play physical and has great hands, and has been compared to Columbus Blue Jackets forward Max Domi."

Brayden Olafson - Dobber Prospects - Mar. 8: "Stylistically, L’Heureux telegraphs between James Van Riemsdyk and Tom Wilson player types on a shift-by-shift basis, thrilling with his creativity and never-say-die mentality one minute, and demolishing a defenseman on the forecheck the next."

Tony Ferrari - Dobber Prospects - Feb. 22nd: "He is a physical power forward who has a good shot and can work the puck around the offensive zone. He could be a threat on both special teams and he brings an element of toughness to the game when he isn’t getting suspended."
