Taking advantage of the opening day of the QMJHL trade period on Saturday, the Phoenix got their hands on the 19-year-old forward in return for the second-round pick of the Val-d'Or Foreurs in 2023.
Stéphane Julien does not hide the expectations he has of his new player. He says he loves Cole Huckins' style of play which he has followed since his days at Stanstead College in 2017.
“He has an extremely dangerous shot. I also think he can be a good passer and change the game on the power play. He's a top 6 guy who can bring us a lot offensively. He can approach 70 points in the season in a good team, ”says the Phoenix coach.
Huckins played 41 games for the Titan last season, scoring 12 goals and 14 assists for 26 points. In eight playoff games, he has two goals and two assists.
"For sure this year the Titan had a good offense, so maybe they didn't get all the ice time they wanted. Here, he will have the opportunity to prove himself, especially with the loss of Xavier Parent”, indicates Stéphane Julien, already mentioning that it would not be impossible to see Huckins evolve with Joshua Roy.

Huckins, of course, was suspended for part of the season for unspecified reasons.
Sounds like the Phoenix want him to play a prominent role with their team going forward.
