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 Eric Lindros style, as a first overall pick, Maddox Dagenais forced a trade, saying he would only play for the Quebec Remparts. Here was the trade with the Drummondville Voltigeurs

At such a young age, Maddox is already 6 foot 3!
