Deep Dive 2 - Citadelles Rookies Season Reviews

Yu Nishinoya - D
Pick : 12OA
TPE : 280
TPE Rank : 6th
4G 28A 32P 47TA 69BLK 133HIT

Quebec City first pick Yu Nishinoya had an impressive rookie season. Taken in the first round, Nishinoya had high expectations and I would say he surpassed his expectations. He was great on both sides, scoring 32 points and having 69 shot blocks. He’s currently ranked 6th in TPE and I believe he will stay at the top. Quebec City got very lucky with Nishinoya falling at 12. This guy can be a top three pick in the SHL draft.

Lurtz Makoare - G
Pick : 32OA
TPE : 272
TPE Rank : 19th
27-20-2 2SO 3.32GAA 0.87SV%

The Citadelles picked a goalie in the 2nd round. Lurtz Makoare would end up being the starter for Quebec City. He’s fourth in wins and as a first year goalie, it’s not common. He’s the main reason why the Citadelles will be playing in the playoffs this year. He’s ranked 19th among TPE leaders so it was definitely a steal in the second for Quebec City. I expect Makoare to be the first goalie drafted in the SHL.


Caline DeBine - F
Pick : 42OA
TPE : 272
TPE Rank : 20th
19G 28A 47P 168S 160H

Quebec City had no third round pick but they decided to trade two future picks for the 42th pick and drafted Caline DeBine. It felt like DeBine could have slipped to the fourth round but the Citadelles didn’t want to take a risk and I would say they made the right choice. He has been a key player for Citadelles offense and will get better next season. He’s in the top 20 for TPE leaders. I believe he will go higher than 42 in the next draft.

Alphonse Alakazam - D
Pick : 53OA
TPE : 252
TPE Rank : 50th
8G 24A 32P 56TA 51BLK 194HIT
Alakazam was drafted with the Citadelles 4th pick. He also had a great rookie season just like his teammates. I would say his stats are a bit better than Nishinoya. I think these will make a great pair for Quebec City. Comparing his TPE earned and draft position, he’s fairly rated. I don’t expect him to be a high pick in the SHL draft.

Bob Bergen Jr. - F
Pick : 54OA
TPE : 271
TPE Rank : 23th
15G 30A 45P 53.2FO%

Here’s another draft steal! Bergen Jr was drafted right after Alakazam. I was shocked that the son of Bob Bergen would fall off to 54. He has been a great rookie center for Quebec City winning over 53% of his faceoffs and scoring 15 goals. I don’t think he will fall that far again in the next draft. Maybe the North Stars will pick him just like they did with his father.

Cujo Pirelli - F
Pick : 64OA
TPE : 249
TPE Rank : 52th
13G 36A 49P +25

Cujo Pirelli was picked in the 6th round but he ended up being the best forward picked on this team. He currently plays on the second line and he fits well with the veterans. He’s a key playmaker for the team as he has 36 assists and a rating of +25. In terms of earning TPE, he did better than his draft position.

Matthew Murdock - F
UDFA
TPE : 247
TPE Rank : 57th
19G 23A 42P 153S 185HIT

Matthew Murdock has been absolutely the best rookie in Quebec City. He’s already a leader in the locker room and could be a future captain on this team. As a player, he’s been great. He can play both sides of the game as he scored 19 goals and had 185 hits. I’m really excited to see him being drafted!

Wander my friends, wander with me. Like the mist on the green mountain, moving eternally.
Despite our weariness, we'll follow the road over hill and valleys, to the end of the journey


Le monde n'est qu'une scène. Il vaut mieux rire que pleurer, car le rire est le propre de l'homme.
Riez de tout cela, ne vous inquiétez pas. Profitons d'aujourd'hui
