Pretty sure ‘Gaudreau’ actually supposed to re GAbe perrEAUlt

Given how many drafted Fs signed and joined Pack last 2+ years(Othmann, Cuylle, Edstrom, Berard, Sykora, Korczak, Rempe, Trivigno(UDFA), karlH)
not concerned that the amateur F depth is shallower for now.
Adding Barbashev, Laba, Vaisenen, Karpa to Gabe, BMB, Chmelar plus the couple guys drafted late in ‘23 is decent, behind the young pros, (some, like Othmann, Sykora very young)

I guess he reminds me of Johnny hockey.

Is that a joke on the error or does he really?

There are comparables I think between the two. About the same size/strength components. Both their games depend a lot on guile or hockey smarts/vision. Seeing/reacting. Panarin and Fox have a lot of that too.

But isn't Perreault bigger?

 

[NYR Viper]

Perrault is much taller than Gaudreau. I think by about 5-6”

 

[eco's bones]

Perreault is 5'11. Gaudreau is 5'9. Some difference but not great though.

HockeyDB, (not most reliable re keeping current re such data but works easy on phone)
Has Jonny hockey 5’9” 165#
Gabe 5’11” 165#

Perreault's not a 6'er. We've drafted a lot of big forwards in recent years but he's not one of those. He dropped further than I thought he would in the draft---his main thing and I think he'll need a couple years is put some weight on and get stronger and work a bit more on his skating. Gabriel's got very good edges though. It's just getting a little faster would help. 17/18 year olds....there's almost always something no matter how good they are.

 

[NYR Viper]

Gauhtier isnt 5’o unless he’s wearing 3” heels

 

[nyr2k2]

Laba has an assist.

Kempf has an assist.

BMB has an assist. His little bro Brodie scored a goal.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Slow start for BMB, was expecting him to really dominate this season.

 

[GAGLine]

Perreault with a primary assist on BC's 1st goal. BC wins 3-2. Perreault with 8 points in 7 games.

I'm so excited for him. Hoping he ends up being as good as Panarin who he does remind me of in terms of creativity and slowing the game down. Does he drive play to the same degree? I know that was the knock on him

great to see him off to a real good start.
The guy with the winning goal (Minnetian) is another guy they should have drafted and they had the chance to.

His goal was sick.

He's not as dynamic/quick as Panarin, but he sees the ice very well and makes up for his lack of speed by knowing where to be.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Perreault with 8 points in 7 games
Othmann with 7 points in 8 games
Jarin Chmelař with 9 points in 7 games
Brett Berard with 6 points in 8 games

That's what you want to see from your prospects.

Still a big fan of Berard. Hopefully we get to see him and his tenacity on broadway in a year or two.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Most happy about Berard since half the board wrote him off because he didnt dominate as much as they wanted last year in the NCAA. 6 points in 8 games as a rookie is impressive.

We'll be able to put Cullye on the 4th line in a year or two imo

I think that's selling him short. A guy with his size, skating and hands shouldn't be on the fourth line.

I agree. But where do Othmann and Perrault go? I see them being the third line wingers. Cullye on the 4th would be a mismatch for us too

The way it's looking I wouldn't be surprised if Kakko is gone by then. He's been such a disappointment.

 

[nyr2k2]

He basically dropped 3 spots in the poll. From fourth last winter to eighth, but Perreault knocked everyone down a spot. He had a legitimately tough season. Basically all of Providence did, which made it hard to really assess if there was some regression in his game or if it was a team-wide issue. I remember Miller "regressing" his Sophomore year when really he was still playing well individually and it was more a matter of that team being a mess.

Good to see him doing well in Hartford. Agreed on that point. It's still going to be an uphill battle for him but he's a dynamic player, so we'll see how it goes.

So excited about Perreault. he just oozes skill imo
