Confirmed Trade: [EDM/MTL] Jacob Perreault for Noel Hoefenmayer

[Chainshot]

I like the D-man as an AHL guy. Never hurts to bolster your AHL club.

I mean, Laval has been a wagon for a while now.

 

[General Fanager]

Oh Good...Another LD for The Habs to throw on the pile.....

 

[Treb]

I know nothing about either player.

Perreault is a former 1st round pick who is a sniper who struggled to score past junior.

Hoefenmayer is a physical offensive D with a good shot that struggle defensively.

Neither should be more than depth AHL guys.

 

[DropIt]

But. Why?

Oilers obviously needed to offload a defenseman.

Does it hurt to bolster it even if they're doing well?

True true - I think part of moving Perreault is that there is nowhere to fit him into the Laval lineup.

 

[beowulf]

Yuuuuge!

Was thinking the same thing unless there are injuries in Laval on defence I am not aware of.

 

[HolyGhost]

Either this is a mean nothing trade or we are missing something

He was sent to the ECHL earlier today. Probably didn't like that.

What are the main knocks on Perrault’s game?

And what got him drafted in the 1st round?

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I take pride in knowing all the players....this is humbling

 

[Connor McConnor]

No one's as bad as Levshunov who is allegedly 18 years old

"allegedly" lmao

Hadn't noticed but I thought he started the season down in Trois-Rivieres?

Still seems like there aren't enough spots offensively to put in the work on him to get his game in NHL shape when I look at Laval's roster. Beck, Roy, Davidson, Kidney seem like the kids who are getting the reps (and doing a number with them) and of course there is no way Barre-Boulet isn't in the top 6.

He may have groused about it and been the move.

helmets since an early age perhaps

Receding hairline is genetics. Typically from the mother's side. Mine was thinning at 18 and I started shaving my head at 21.

He was injured at the end of last year and only came back late October.

They sent him to TR to get the rust off. After that, he got called up and struggled to get into the lineup. He got in due to injuries/call-up and did poorly. With guys coming back, he wasn't going to play.

Jacob Perreault has a pretty terrible hairline for a 22-year-old...yikes.

Should be a rule on this board you don’t mock other peoples’ appearance unless you post a pic of yourself first

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I guess?

Hoefenmayer can shoot the puck a bazillion miles an hour but he can't stay healthy.

Bako doesn't even have enough healthy forwards to ice a full lineup, which I'm guessing is why they did this but now they only have 1 LHD

Laval now has to likely send a LD to 3R, so either Hoefenmeyer, or more likely Zach Hayes.

What are the main knocks on Perrault’s game?

And what got him drafted in the 1st round?

He had a really good shot.

Right now, from what I've seen from him last year with Laval and this year he does nothing good, so the knocks are he's not an AHLer.

Reading about him now and people thought his skill and shot had high potential. Shame it didn’t happen.

Love a good AHL depth player swap, under the guise of an NHL trade. When teams are dealing players that you honestly wonder why they're occupying an NHL contract slot.

 

[Bouboumaster]

One was a first round draft pick. PUT SOME RESPEK ON HIS NAME!

Without looking, I wouldn't know which one was the first round

 

[McDrai]

That hairline though…RIP

 

[MicronMega]

Stan had a connection to father Yannick in Chicago

 

[kevistar]

Well, now I'm wondering how's Jan Mysak doing in Anaheim.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hoefenmayer has more points than Mysak Perreault combined, so he's also not doing great on the scorer sheet at least.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Since when did Habs start trading away francophones?


Also the Q is a garbage dumpster fire league.
