AI Scouting Report

Benjamin Cossette Ayotte quietly put up 38 points in 62 games from the blue line in the QMJHL this season, a league where most defensive prospects struggle to crack 20, and he did it by threading passes through traffic that most defensemen his age don't even see as options. His ability to read the ice and distribute from the back end projects him as a genuine puck-moving defenseman at the next level — the kind of guy who makes his whole forward group better by getting them the puck in stride.

Scouting Breakdown

Free

Strengths

  • ✓His 34 assists in 62 QMJHL games demonstrate a strong ability to create and distribute the puck from the blue line.
  • ✓A 38-point season shows legitimate offensive production for a defenceman at the junior level.

Concerns

  • ✗Just 4 goals in 62 games is a concerningly low shooting output for a prospect tagged as an offensive defenceman.
  • ✗His 34 PIMs suggest undisciplined play that could be exploited at higher levels of competition.
  • ✗A ranking of #211 by NHL Central Scouting indicates he is viewed as a fringe draft prospect with a limited pro ceiling.
