History
2008-09: In his second year of playing for the Rimouski Oceanic, Fournier more than doubled his rookie year point totals. In 66 games with the team he managed to score 28 points.
Talent Analysis
Talented offensively, the problem for Fournier is that he is a defenseman first and foremost, but sometimes he doesn't play like one. Able to make quick decisions with the puck and move it well, he sometimes struggles in his own end, especially when under pressure. A valuable tool on the power play, at 6'0 and 174 pounds, he would benefit tremendously if he can get larger and stronger on his skates in the coming years.
Future
With an expanding role on the team, Fournier will look to further increase his point totals in the 2009-10 season while honing the other aspects of his game.
