Draft Nation is not saying that Sacha Boisvert will ever reach the numbers that Anze Kopitar has amassed, but the two players are cut from the same cloth. Boisvert's work ethic on and off the ice will be a big reason why he can develop into a successful 2nd line center in the NHL. He will have a couple of years at North Dakota to put some muscle and bulk on his 6'2" frame and must continue to improve in his trouble areas. Coaches will absolutely love his play and a team's patience with him will be rewarded.

Sacha Boisvert's lack of elite skating should have him sliding down draft boards, but his overall work ethic, versatility, size and wrist shot will keep him in the first round, around pick 20-32. He is a high character player that an organization will be glad to have.
