Round Three, Pick 91
Philippe Veilleux
Veilleux is a 5'9" left-shooting forward who played in 64 games for the Val-d'Or Foreurs, scoring 40 goals and 47 assists through the 2024-25 season. He is an offensively-minded player, driving plays and starting rushes frequently. He takes advantage of open spaces on the sheet creating shooting chances for himself and his teammates.
Veilleux isn't a very quick skater, but he uses his size and skill to get into tight spaces and get to the puck. One of his downfalls is his lack of defensive game, but that likely won't deter teams from the QMJHL's third-highest scorer. He could be utilized in a middle-six role, but would need to show more physicality to get there.
Alexander Filippov
Filippov is a 6'2" right-shooting defenseman who spent the 2024-25 season with the Krasanaya Armiya Moskva. Throughout his 40 games this season he scored just one goal and three assists, but don't let that deter you from him. He has strong defensive abilities and is a solid skater with adept puck-handling skills.
Filippov's size will translate well should he make it to the NHL, especially with the way that he is able to move across the ice. He doesn't have much offensive strength and will need to get more comfortable laying hits, which can come with improving his physical strength. He could make a good sixth or seventh defenseman in The Show if he bulks up and becomes more assertive with the puck.
