What Sacha Boisvert brings to the table

One thing that stands out with Sacha Boisvert is his incredible handling. He can be tough to take the puck away, dishing out smooth assists to his teammates. Part of his emergence has been his penchant for passing, whether it's finding the right opening or setting up the play.

But the Canadian center has also been efficient at sniping, with a hard shot that can go past any defender. On top of that, he has an amazing work ethic and maturity. Such intangibles are cherished by the Vegas Golden Knights, which would make him a great fit. Overall, Boisvert has a high hockey IQ that translates into a potent offensive game for the NHL Draft prospect.

Of course, that mental toughness comes from his boxing and taekwondo lineage. Boisvert's dad, Jimmy, owns a taekwondo and boxing gym in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec. Here, Jimmy Boisvert trained some of Quebec's best boxers and won a bronze medal at a taekwondo championship. Having an athletic family also helps, which will push his draft stock higher.
