The drafting of Gabriel Dumont is looking more like a diamond in the rough after a great season in the QMJHLHere is an excerpt from the Hockey's Future article:
Gabriel Dumont, C – Drummondville Voltigeurs
Acquired: 5th round, 139th overall, 2009
Dumont's production exploded this year, as Drummondville dominated the QMJHL during the regular season. When all was said and done, the Voltigeurs ranked second overall as a team in goals for, and second in the overall standings as well. Dumont managed to set new career-high marks in each of the major statistical categories. Through 61 games, the fifth-round draft choice and Ville Degelis native scored 51 goals and 42 assists for a total of 93 points, tying him for third in the QMJHL in scoring. Dumont put up 49 points a year ago. In addition to his production, Dumont also received the Guy Carbonneau Golden Puck award for Best Defensive Forward.
Though a smaller player at 5'10 180 pounds, Dumont battles hard (as evidenced by his 127 penalty minutes) and has undeniably strong hockey sense. He and his team are currently battling the Moncton Wildcats in third round of the postseason. Building on his regular-season success, Dumont has tallied 10 goals and seven assists in nine games, leading the team.
