Chicoutimi forward Nicolas Deschamps predicted he and Jacob Lagace would play together for the Sagueneens. -more Related Links:2008 NHL Entry Draft index page Complete Prospects archive More NHL.com features Their success was surprising to scouts - especially Deschamps, who earned Central Scouting's No. 21 ranking among North American skaters and the highest rating of any QMJHL pla nfl jerseys yer in the draft.-He came out of nowhere to be the top-ranked player in the QMJHL,- said Central Scouting's Chris Bordeleau. -He is a very good skater who thinks the game well and has soft hands. He works hard and the upside to his skills makes us think he is going to be a pretty good all-around player. He was one of those players that kept improving to surprise a lot of people because the expecta nfl jerseys tions for him were low at the beginning of the season.- Expectations were equally low for Lagace.-Jacob is a good skater and another player who came out of nowhere this season after I saw him quite a bit as an underage player last season,- said Bordeleau. -He has good hands. He's not a big player (5-foot-10, 190 pounds), but he could surprise people if he continues to work hard and improve his gam nfl jerseys e.-Some of that improvement came with Team Canada at the Under-18 World Championships in Kazan, Russia, in April. Deschamps finished tied for third on the team with three goals, and finished a plus-4, while Lagace had three points in the seven games and also was a plus-4.. -Last time I saw him - his first shift he was dominant. He went in and initiated contact, got the puck, made a couple of nice nfl jerseys plays and scored a goal. He's got a lot of character, sees the ice well and makes smart plays.-Lagace says he needs to get stronger be more physical. -I think (scouts) like my speed on the ice, I'm strong on the boards,- he said. -I have a good shot, good offensive skills. I've got to take confidence in my shot and use it more because sometimes I waste good scoring chances with an extra move. I al nfl jerseys so want to improve my physical play.-It's hard to envision a repeat of their first draft experience when the 2008 NHL Entry Draft takes place June 20-21 in Ottawa.
