NHL player Derek Morris has nothing on Rich Peverly

Good. I was about to say this. Glad to see we are on the same page.

Also he has horrible balance. He always seems to get WRECKED

There's something to talk about. He could be another Lindros.

In terms of a weakness, I don't think he creates time and space for himself that well. Not that it will make him a bad player but I think it'll hold him back for a little. He's a goal scorer though so maybe I'm just set in my ways in terms of the kinds of players that I like.

His biggest weakness is not protecting his body enough. Too prone to massive hits. Can't wait for some big Dman to welcome him to the NHL early next fall.

 

[Zanon]

Ugly guy that Hall guy is.

 

[Dave Karp]

Saw him at a bar here in Kingston drinking pints. Must've had a fake ID because no one knew who he was as he waited 15 mins for a seat. His weakness is clearly beer. Btw, he left after the 3rd apparently he was going to EDM to check it out. He just came back from Boston and was wearing a BoSox hat.

In short weaknesses: Beer, and Boston. The Oilers will pass him up.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

His one weakness is that he never sees guys coming and gets wrecked in virtually every game. He always bounces back but I'm scared to see what NHL defensemen or a Dusty Buff or Mike Richards are going to do to this kid in his first year. He could have a very short career. I've never seen a top prospect get hit so often before.

I'm sure he'll pick himself up an Edmonton Capitals' cap when he's in town.

so you're saying he's the next Benoit Pouliot???

Oh my...

He also skates with his head down at times, especially cutting across the offensive blue line...

 

[finchster]

Top prospects do not breathe, they live on the souls of failed prospects.

 

[Bravid Nonahan]

He can't walk on water yet. Bust.

[usahockey22flyers]

A guy like brain Campbell will line him up or Kronwall or someone like that

 

[Lounge Act*]

He's obviously a career-ending concussion waiting to happen! Hope the Oilers STAY AWAY from him!

 

[thomasincanada]

This has been blown out of proportion.. Mostly because of the hit he took in the Brandon game.

I'm sure Edmonton will be teaching the guy to keep his head up and how to better absorb hits. He's a solid guy too so he'll be able to take a few while he is learning.

Considering how well he has learned almost every other aspect of the game I don't think it will be that difficult for him to make an adjustment or two for the NHL.

 

[sjgoglin]

He looks like he's at least 1/8 native american? is he?

 

[Skyver]

I just hope, for his sake, that he doesn't become like Prucha : Always the target of highlight reel hits.

 

[BruinsNeedaRussian]

He looks like he's at least 1/8 native american? is he?

If my math is correct, he is 3/17 Native American.

 

[Little Psycho]

What's his ethnicity? I tried looking for it but no luck.
