Mikus Vecvanags’ situation is complicated.
The goaltender was finally drafted 19th overall in the CHL’s European draft, not by the Armada… but by the Acadie-Bathurst Titan.

One has to wonder if Martin Lapointe’s hasty exit played a role in his choice.
After all, if Lapointe said he was going to play in Blainville, it’s because there was some interest on the goaltender’s part… But now, since he’s been drafted by the Titan, does he want to say no to the QMJHL?
There’s a lot of talent in the BCHL line-up, and maybe that had an impact on his decision too. But it’s still an odd story.
After all, it’s rare to see a situation like this…
At some point, I’d like to think that Vecvanags will explain why he decided not to play for the Titan in the QMJHL.
Until then, however, it’s normal to wonder.
