QMJHL first overall pick forces trade Eric Lindros style
The QMJHL has fallen behind other junior leagues, such as the WHL and OHL, but it is still a high-quality place to develop.
Similarly to other junior leagues, the QMJHL has an amateur draft, and the first overall pick is extremely coveted. This year's first overall pick is Maddox Dagenais, son of another former QMJHL first overall pick - Pierre Dagenais.
In 1995 the Moncton Alpines made Pierre Dagenais the first overall pick of the #LHJMQ
Tonight, 29 years later, Pierre's son, Maddox, will also be the 1st overall pick of the #LHJMQ by the #Remparts of Quebec who will obtain the very first selection.
