Raphael Bussieres
Round 2 (46th overall)
HT: 6'1" WT: 195 Position: LW SHoots: L Born: Longueuil, QC PREVIOUS TEAM: Baie-Comeau (QMJHL) WILD TV VIDEO |
Analysis: With its first pick on day two of the NHL Entry Draft the Wild selects Raphael Bussieres. Last season, Bussieres played for Baie-Comeau of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and posted 21 goals, 23 assists and 60 penalty minutes in 56 games. The left winger is listed at 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds. The scouting report on Bussieres is that he is a rough and tumble forward, who plays with an edge. He missed three games in the playoffs due to suspension and also to drop the gloves at the CHL's Top Prospects Game against the WHL's Matt Dumba, the Wild's first round pick. It should be an interesting prospects camp in July.
