Justin Carbonneau is considered one of the NHL’s top prospects.

His name is likely to come up fairly quickly in the next draft, because he has some really interesting potential.

In fact, the kid is currently winning over some teams.

That’s what Anthony Martineau, who attends the NHL combine, reported on Twitter.

According to the TVA Sports journalist, Carbonneau’s popularity is growing among the league’s clubs… to the point where some top-10 teams are considering him as a potential target.

To see two Québécois emerge in the top-10 – because chances are Desnoyers will too – would be quite something :

Justin Carbonneau’s stock is on the rise right now.

Several teams ahead of the Habs, including some in the top 10, are considering him as we speak.

The young man looked good in his interviews in Buffalo and many clubs were seduced…

Interviews at the combine are proving to be a great opportunity for youngsters to impress teams.

And obviously, that’s what’s happening right now with Justin Carbonneau.

It’s interesting becausewe’ve heard a few things about his attitude.

Clearly, the various NHL clubs don’t really seem to care about all this… and if Carbonneau plays his cards right, maybe he really could be selected in the top-10, because we also know that talent comes out of both his ears.

He has 89 points – 46 goals – in 62 games this season with the Armada… which is excellent.

But let’s not forget that there’s a possibility of him leaving the QMJHL to play in the NCAA. And you really have to wonder whether this has a positive impact on the teams in the top-10… although it probably does.

All in all, knowing that he’s becoming even more popular right now, just a few weeks before the draft, is a good sign for him.

Overtime

– Logical.

Caleb Desnoyers has long been visualizing the successes that make him the top-rated Québécois prospect for the draft. And his goals for the future are well defined.https://t.co/3AWdSpZPGm?
