I stuck my neck out on Perreault in his draft year, and I remain bullish on him as one of the most talented and offensively intelligent prospects in the game despite a lack of initial production in his introduction to the NHL in the spring. When the points pile up like they have, and they happen while making the kinds of plays that he does, you can’t ignore them. You can say what you will about his skinny frame (though he has added substantial muscle, at least relatively speaking, in recent years). You can say what you will about perceived questions of skating (which I think completely lost the plot in his draft year). You can say what you will about his linemates at the NTDP and BC. But it’s Perreault who holds the program’s single-season points record, it was Perreault who, before missing a few games to injury, led the Eagles in scoring as a freshman for much of last season before finishing with a rare 60-point season anyway, and it was Perreault who again led them in assists as a sophomore.
