Danick Martel (20 yrs. old) – Honorable Mention – Left Wing

Undrafted Rookie from Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, Signed in 2015

To me, Danick Martel is one of our top forward prospects in the farm pool. However, he’s small at 5’8″ 161 lbs, which is well below NHL ready. His speed and agility at a professional pace is what will make the difference between Martel staying the AHL for his career, or jumping up to the NHL and becoming a sensation.

He’s smaller than the now retired Danny Briere, who was an inch taller, but he’s got a similar game. Martel has a lot to work on in the AHL this year, which will be his first season as a pro, but his scoring ability and quick skates could easily make him one of the best players on the team.
