Instead of saying it's pretty good or suspect, I'll put it this way: It's the thing that I'm most concerned about translating to the NHL level.
Draft Round 1 #23: New York Rangers Select RW Gabriel Perreault (Boston College, NCAA)

That’s fair, but I’ll also say while it might be what I’d MOST be concerned with in his game, I’ll also say it doesn’t REALLY concern me. It may be his “weakest” attribute, but only because it doesn’t approach elite like so much of his game.
It’s like saying my weakest subject in school was geometry because I got a B+ while I got A+ in every other subject…

Not sure why. He’s not a bad skater by any means.

WAAAAAAA!!!
Dean Letourneau next to Will Vote is like Chara next to Zucc. Or Lindross next to Fluery.
Big day coming up for Will Vote on the 5th.
he going to change his name to Did?
They blew that tripping call for sure... quiet 1st period for BC so far, pretty sloppy offensively

That line had 9 shots on goal. 4 each by Gabe and Leonard and 1 by Hagens.
Just a matter of time.
Edit: Correction, Gabe only had 2 shots on goal in the 1st. The College Hockey News site counts all shot attempts for each player, but the play by play only shows 2 on goal.
The line had another 5 shot attempts in the 2nd.

Hitting from behind. Yikes, normally they just call
Boarding unless it’s REALLY bad. Waiting for video.

I think when you get a game misconduct in college hockey you're automatically suspended for the next game.

I think they are able to rescind the suspension after reviewing it.
Apparently there was no call orginally either but the team requested a review of the hit and they ended up calling it after. So it probably wasnt anything that insane.

Never say never, but it's highly unlikely. For one it's a lot to ask of anyone and secondly, as you said, there likely won't be a spot for him.
But ELC slated to start next year and AHL PTO? Yeah 100%
If he truly is up to 178 lbs then he should have little trouble getting to 180+ by the start of camp next year which is basically the baseline I wanted him to hit before making the jump to pro hockey.

Even if the NYR needed forwards, I believe it would be a horrible idea to rush him. I personally don't think introducing him to the NHL with playoff hockey being his first game action (with no camp) would be putting the top prospect in the best position to succeed.
