Down there pretty far, probably because of his size.
More importantly, there may someday be a Felix Unger in the NHL.
87. Gabe Perreault (RW), New York Rangers, Draft: 2023-1:23
Rounding out the BC trio is Gabe Perreault, who falls much further than his linemates - though it’s hard to argue his technical skills aren’t just as good. Perreault has been the perennial first-man-in on that line’s forecheck, and developed a really impressive ability to pester opponents because of it. When he inevitably forces a turnover, Perreault is nifty on the puck and knows how to quickly connect with teammates. But I fear we haven’t seen him fill a wide variety of roles over the last few years, and he’s set to once again fill the hard-nosed forechecker role next to James Hages this year. For all of his skill, he’ll need that forechecking style to translate one-to-one if he wants to continue success at the pro levels. With his size, I’m not sure that’ll be easy… then again, Perreault could quickly prove me a doubter with a breakout into a new style.
