Hockey Player

The Resume

    (October 11, 2001- )
    Born in Saint-Eustache, Quebec, Canada
    Played junior hockey with the Rimouski Oceanic of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (2017-20)
    Drafted first overall by the New York Rangers in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft
    Forward for the New York Rangers

Why he might be annoying:

    He has a girl's first name.
    His NHL destination came under scrutiny from fans, who felt the league deliberately fixed two draft lotteries to land him in New York.
    He was often compared to Sidney Crosby during his junior career.
    He initially wanted to pursue a career in baseball, before switching to hockey full-time.
    His skating ability was questioned, despite the fact he was considered a top prospect.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a Montreal Canadiens fan growing up.
    He was the first Oceanic player since Crosby to be selected with the first overall pick.
    He was described as having a natural scoring ability by hockey pundits.
    He was the first player to be drafted by the Rangers with the first overall pick in 55 years.
    His late birthday prevented him from being part of the deep 2019 draft class, but gave him a chance to be the clear cut selection with the first overall pick.
