Colten Ellis is the top goaltender available in the 2019 NHL Draft from the QMJHL. He has two seasons in the “Q” under his belt, where he’s already played 100 regular season games and 19 playoff games. An early trade in his career from the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles to the Rimouski Océanic may have been the best thing for the young prospect.
