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

[GAGLine]

Coaches don’t participate in that, at least it was never proven so afaic it would fall under conspiracy - they have their own biases but if there was a cap reason, it would be manage by FO

Oh, absolutely. And I'm not saying that there was, but I think it's a valid question to ask. It's pretty clear that if either or both had broken out immediately, we wouldn't have had the cap space to sign them unless we moved other people out.

To me, even if there was no attempt to keep their salaries down, it still points to poor planning on the part of management. We didn't know we would win the 2nd and 1st overall picks in successive drafts, but that doesn't mean you go out and spend all your cap space a year after announcing a rebuild.

I’m sure it was filed under let’s worry about it when it happens header. Plenty of examples when worrying (or even acting) too much about potential future scenarios was not only futile but downright detrimental.

On the replay, it looked like the goalie got a piece of it with his stick.

If Hagen's goal stands, Gabe gets an assist.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Gabe is so smooth with the puck, omg.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

USA looking sloppy

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

There he is

Can’t wait to watch the NYR healthy scratch this kid

 

[Lua]

Fortescue with the third assist as well, clean first pass up the left wing from the D zone

 

[JimmyG89]

It's Germany, but this kid has all the offensive talent in the world. He should be dominating and is. 1G 1A 15 minutes into the tournament with multiple other chances.

Not before rushing him to play some games this season after BC's season is over.

No PP1 time and will play on the 3rd line with Brodzinski and Berard. Then they will wonder why he can't score with 11 minutes of d zone starts.

The IIHF website lists the 1st goal as Hagens from Hutson and Perreault, but the telecast said it was from Hutson and Leonard, so that will probably be changed.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Please don't heap unnecessary pressure on this kid. Let him develop. Kakko should be the lesson of what not to do.

Unfortunately, I'm certain some dumbass out there is dedicating a church to Perreault

Not including Laf and Kakko, who was the last Rangers prospect that had as much upside as Gabe?

I haven't been following NYR prospects that long so no idea and it doesn't makes sense to compare him to #1 and #2 overall picks.
