The name Gabriel D'Aigle probably rings a bell if you're a hockey and Montreal Canadiens fan.
We're talking about a young Quebecois goaltender who was once projected to become a first-overall pick in the NHL Draft and was expected to be the next Marc-André Fleury.
He has absolutely incredible talent, but he ultimately was not ranked as a potential first-overall pick in the 2025 Draft, far from it.
Depending on the source, he is ranked around 180th overall or as the 11th-best goaltender in North America.
Gabriel D'Aigle Wants to Be Drafted by the Montreal Canadiens
It's rare to see a player be so direct, but the promising goaltender has outright stated that he dreams of being drafted by the Canadiens.
The Canadiens have already met with Gabriel D'Aigle, and they are one of only four teams that have done so!
That could be a little sign.
Could he become the next number-one goalie for the Laval Rocket, once Jacob Fowler is ready to graduate to the NHL?
"Some even talked about him as the next Carey Price, but ultimately, the Quebec native never performed up to expectations in the QMJHL.
As a result, he fell from being a potential top-10 pick to a goalie likely to be drafted after the third round. [...]
Moreover, D'Aigle dreams of being drafted by the Montreal Canadiens, as he stated during an interview with Alex Trudel on CJSO radio in Sorel."
