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

[GAGLine]

Rangers take the faller instead of the reach FOR ONCE and he looks like a steal.

Some players fall because they should. Some reaches aren't reaches.

If we had traded up to 16 to get Gabe, no one would have known we could have gotten him at 23, and everyone would be touting it as a brilliant move.

All I know is I was about to launch a beer bottle at my TV if we passed on Perrault.

Cherapanov RIP was a faller. We just have a lot more reaches in our immediate drafting history.

Don't you all think for one second Perreault will get more than one shift in OT whenever he gets here.

If you want to put a negative spin on everything - why not start with that he won't even sign here in the first place...

Yeah, should we go down the list of all the "fallers" that resident "prospect experts" on here were creaming over but then didn't amount to crap after they were drafted? Never hear about them...

Watching the exhibition game, one thing I picked up was the commentator saying that Coach Brown mentioned Perreault gained 10 pounds over the off-season and came in more physically robust. Would like to see him take another step in his skating as he carries that weight.
