The Anaheim Ducks parted ways with former first-round pick Jacob Perreault today, sending the forward to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Jan Mysak.

Perreault was the 27th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, and has spent the last four seasons in the AHL with the San Diego Gulls. While he initially was able to put up some decent numbers in his first couple seasons, he failed to really take the next step and never managed to crack the Ducks’ roster. This season, Perreault scored seven goals and 18 points in 31 games with the Gulls, and while he’s still just 21 years old, he hasn’t played an NHL game with the team since his debut in 2022.

Mysak was selected 48th overall in the same draft as Perreault, and is in the midst of his second AHL season. This year, the 21-year-old scored 13 goals and 20 points in 48 games with the Laval Rocket.

Overall, it’s a fairly minor deal, but Perreault was unlikely really make an impact with the Ducks at this stage, and a swap to give young players a change of scenery can probably never hurt. It’s too bad Perreault didn’t end up working out after a little bit of hype at the time Anaheim selected him, but Mysak should get a good chance with the Gulls in his place.
