Great post, I've been constantly re-calibrating my expectations on these 4 myself. For one reason or another they all make you pump the brakes on getting hyped up, Hutson with his size, Mailloux with his playing time, and I have a hard time trusting QMJHL production on dominant teams.
I have way higher hopes for the two defense prospects. St. Louis and Robidas have shown they can develop defense this year and Laval has done so too with Barron and Trudeau, so I'm a bit bullish on those two. It'll likely take a couple more years, but I'm hoping (and I think it's reasonable) for one bonified top 4 defender and another 4/5 type out of those two.
Everything else is gravy IMO. The Q is so top heavy, those dominant teams always inflate individual scoring. I mean both Gatineau and Sherbrooke have +100 goal differentials. Not exactly a league with any parity. I'm not getting too excited about the Q forwards until they break the door down......Farrell on the other hand has me very interested
