The

of
the
Halifax
Mooseheads’
picks
in
the
QMJHL

on
Saturday
in
Moncton.
They
are
listed
with
comments
from
general
manager
Cam
Russell
and
chief
Atlantic
scout
Allie
MacDonald
(listed
by
round-pick
with
age,

1-15.
F
BRENT
ANDREWS,
15,
6-1,
183,
Cornwall
(P.E.I.
midget),
30-12-20-32-18.
Not
committed
to
Halifax
yet
because
he
is
mulling
over
an
NCAA
option
from
the
University
of
Maine
…
Could
have
a
similar
QMJHL
impact
to
Logan
MacMillan
if
he
decides
to
report
…
“He’s
a
great
skater,
offensively
gifted,
a
big,
strong
guy,
and
he’s
got
great
work
ethic
to
go
with
it,”
Russell
said
…
“He
makes
his
own
room
on
the
ice.
He’s
not
a
player
the
other
team
is
going
to
wear
down.
He
skates
well,
shoots
well
…
He’s
a
real
package
guy,”
MacDonald
said.
2-19.
D
JAMIE
BISHOP,
15,
6-0,
183,
Saint
John
(N.B.
midget),
35-5-15-20-30.
Central
Scouting’s
seventh-ranked
prospect
…
Decided
just
before
the
draft
he
would
play
in
the
Q
…
“We
were
amazed
Bishop
was
still
there.
He’s
an
all-around
defenceman,
he’s
big,
physical,
he
ran
their
power
play
and
he’s
a
great
competitor,”
said
Russell
…
“He
plays
hard
on
the
puck
in
every
area
of
the
rink.
He
shoots
the
puck
hard,
he’s
got
good
mobility,
he’ll
go
face-to-face
with
anybody
who’s
against
him.
He’s
never
backed
down
from
any
challenge,”
said
MacDonald.
3-49.
C
MATTHEW
BOUDREAU,
15,
5-8,
148,
Eustache
(Que.
midget),
45-18-25-43-4.
Extremely
small
but
finished
only
five
points
behind
first
overall
pick
Olivier
Archambault
…
“He
could
come
in
and
be
one
of
our
top
power-play
guys
in
a
year
or
two.
We’re
obviously
looking
for
character
guys,
but
we
need
guys
who
can
score
goals,
and
he’s
a
character
kid
with
skill.
It’s
hard
to
turn
away
from
that.
You
don’t
have
to
be
big
to
play
this
game
anymore,”
said
Russell
…
“I
call
him
a
slip-slide
guy.
He
dishes
the
puck
off
well
and
he’s
very
evasive,”
said
MacDonald.
4-67.

TREY
LEWIS

5-10,
170,
Moncton
(N.B.
