"He's a very skilled, puck-moving player who likes to join the rush," said Troy Dumville of Central Scouting. "He has some defensive things he needs to work on, but overall it was a really good season for Drummondville and (Beaudin) really stepped up in the QMJHL playoffs. It's hard not to recognize him for his contributions."
