Draft Round 1 #23: New York Rangers Select RW Gabriel Perreault (Boston College, NCAA)

[I Eat Crow]

John Buccigross said Gabriel Perreault has some Jake Guentzel elements in his game.



You can see the similarities in their games.

I said this the night he was drafted. Down to the individual player comparison.

why he only played 4:19 in first period

why he only played 4:19 in first period

Rangers management wants him to be ready for when he plays for the Rangers

They barely played the 1st line. They have a big game tomorrow so they arent getting a ton of ice time yet this period. That could change if the score stays close.

Assist for Gabe on the PP goal.

 

[RempireStateBuilding]

Gabe>Hagens>Leonard tic-tac-toe to make it 2-0 USA. Gabe won the O-zone faceoff to kick the sequence off

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Won 3 FO's on that PP before the PPG.

So you're saying he's a KK replacement at centre?

 

[RangersFan1994]

Perreault won faceoffs in this game and in the past. Any chance with his hockey IQ Rangers move him from wing to center like (Kevin Hayes) once he turns pro??? Would be a great problem to have. A smart center

Hagens and Perreault with that awesome chemistry. #NYRTANKFORHAGENS

His dad was a center and one of the best faceoff men of all time, so it's possible. I imagine they'll start him at wing to let him get comfortable before considering a move.

Enjoying watching him skate to the middle of the ice before he gets here and just stops doing that.

guy can't even score a goal against fuggin latvia??

Gabe literally gave Hagens two wide open nets and Hagens fanned on one, and got robbed on the other.

Hagens would be nice but it's just a dream. I would offer a kings ransom for Leonard however. Caps would never do it, but if the Rangers are out at the TDL they definitely have the pieces to put the Caps in a good position to win a cup.

Something around Kreider for Leonard

I was thinking Panarin with retention. Ovie would probably have a say in that if there was interest. Maybe Lindy for his depth/bro connection. Probably take more tbh, he's gotta be close to untouchable for the Caps.

Would hate to see Panarin go, I love him but it would set up our first line for the next decade.

Hagens is more realistic then ever getting the Caps to give up Leonard to us

I feel like getting Ovie another cup has some weight and the Rangers could make them an offer they can't refuse. The Caps are legit right now, they are contenders. The problem is probably more the Rangers not wanting to pay the price than the Caps saying no IMO. Point taken though.

Rangers better sell high on Panarin. I'd rather see him dealt this year instead of next year which I feel they'd get more back this year

If Kreider wins the Cup with the Capitals I'm never watching hockey again
