Letourneau stands at a whopping 6'7, 214 lbs. and is the first player to be drafted out of high school since Mark Jankowski was selected in 2012 by the Calgary Flames.
He played High School hockey at St. Andrew's College where he put up video game like number scoring 61 G and 66 A for 127 points in just 56 games.
All scouts and insiders say his talent is through the roof, he is a natural goal scorer and power forward that skates like the wind but will need quite a bit of time to develop. The word that keeps going around and around is RAW, and is going to be a project. If developed properly, he is touted as a Tage Thompson comparable.
