Maybe some of you guys knew this about Perfetti, but I definitely did not:
Top prospect Cole Perfetti driven to prove doubters wrong - TSN.ca
Explains why he seemed surprisingly eager to be drafted by the Wings considering the season they just had. Kid knows Draper, Osgood, etc. I guess he was committed to Michigan before he went to the OHL, too? Pretty strong ties in the state of Michigan, seems like.
My take on the Perfetti pick has been that you have to
really be confident in this kid's work ethic and character, because he has some real work ahead of him. And if you're Kris Draper, you actually know that about him, one way or another. If we pass on him, it will be with more insight and information than any other team.
