Separately, Grant McCagg had this to say about QMJHL Noah Dobson on recruits.ca (subscriber login/paywall):

"This was not without a lot of thought and consideration, and it's still very early so things could change...but so far this draft year Acadie-Bathurst defenceman Noah Dobson has impressed me more than any defence prospect from the QMJHL since Ray Bourque was a top ten pick by Boston in 1979."
