Bernier was the 73rd overall pick by the Kraken in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.

Bernier logged big minutes for QMJHL Baie-Comeau last season, but his offensive numbers (four goals and 31 points in 64 games) were lacking. He was a bit better in the playoffs, with nine points in 17 outings. Bernier is a steady rearguard, keeping things simple and making good outlet passes. He rarely puts his teammates in trouble. There doesn't appear to be a ton of upside here, but with a late June birthday, Bernier has more runway than some other prospects in this year's draft.
