Rapports de dépistage de Gabe Perreault

New York Rangers first round pick in 2023. Elite offensive talent. Creative. Fantastic vision. Hard to contain in small areas. Slippery coming off the wall and finding space between the hash marks in high danger areas. Skating has been an area of concern but he is trending in a positive direction. His stride is sound. More strength will lead to added separation in open ice and more of a threat off the rush / between the blue lines going of offense. Top 6 NHL forward prospect who could end up as a #1F who logs significant ice time at even strength and the power-play. Defensive detail has ranges at times.

Used in all situations at U18 Worlds at the end of the 22/23 season
Averaged 17 minutes TOI - Scored 5G-13A in 7GP Fantastic puck touch / deception in tight quarters Creative Easy to identify his upside as an NHL prospect
Top two / leaning top line NHL forward who will have massive impact on the PP
Skating has room to improve - mechanics are not poor however -
Three zone detail ranges - offensive zone exits can have more energy at times
