History
2007-08: After a slow start that saw him score only 10 goals in 42 games the tall center was traded from Victoriaville to Rimouski where he scored 7 goals and posted 15 assists in his final nineteen games. After his QMJHL season ended, Veilleux signed an amateur tryout contract with the Penguins AHL affiliate.
Talent Analysis
Veilleux brings a rare mix of size, speed, and skill to the ice but questions remain. The right-hand shooting center is capable of playing all three forward positions and is equally talented in passing and shooting. He has a hard accurate wrist shot and has shown the ability to take care of business in front and around the net.
The only real knock on his play is his consistency as he can be at times a dominant force on the ice and at other times invisible around the play.
Future
Veilleux will return to the QMJHL.
