Folks, can we please stop with the negative troll posts. I get it the Rangers are struggling now, but this thread is to discuss Perreault’s development. Thanks.
Draft Round 1 #23: New York Rangers Select RW Gabriel Perreault (Boston College, NCAA)
- Thread starter nyr2k2
- Start date
With the caveat of us not seeing him as a pro when I heard them speak about him when we drafted him he sounded like almost a shoo in difference maker. NHL GMs REALLY overthought this guy.
He is the only player I see with PPG+ potential we have drafted going back to forever.
Rangers make him learn defense and he will end up being 3rd liner tweener until he goes to another team and become the next JAM

Marchessault is a weird comparison considering he was never on the Rangers roster or reserve list.
Sure... But it has to be acknowledged that he spent time in the Rangers development system.
Perrault score on the PP so far tonight

2nd goal in 2 games in massive back go back games against a cross town rival.
Doubles his point output in the WJC knock out stages.
This is the most confident I've been in a prospect this team has drafted in the past 25 years.

Love Gabe. Keep scoring bud. Then stay away from NYC.
His line has had a tough go of it, BU has really put it on BC despite BC being up 3-2.
You can guess who has been the culprit for a good amount of their struggles.

Looks like BU is matching their top line (Celebrini, Hutson) against Gabe’s line, tough matchup.

If he keeps up this pace through Feb, do we think a freshman gets considered for the Hobey Baker?
Yes.
Freshmen have been nominated for less in the past. He won't win it unless he really goes off but he should be a finalist.

Are you just searching for random people on twitter who have commented about Gabe? Why would you even post this?

Just for context, in 43 years, only 3 times has a freshman won the Hobey Baker.
Paul Kariya (1992-93)
Jack Eichel (2014-15)
Adam Fantilli (2022-23)
Can it happen? Of course. But it's quite rare. To see it happening in back-to-back years? Sign me up. But I am tempering my expectations.
What's the threshold for one's opinion to matter?
I've seen complete idiots with 10,000 followers, and very level-headed, knowledgeable people with 200 followers
