Perreault has had success at every level. He dominated both junior hockey, with the USNTDP, and collegiate hockey with Boston College… Is the NHL next? Very possible. 2. He’s primarily a playmaker, but is also capable of scoring. A potential dual threat. 3. He has a mentor with 859 NHL games and 516 points to his name. An invaluable resource to lean on. Gabe calls him Dad, the rest of us know him as Yanic. 4. According to PuckPedia.com, he is expected to play on the second line, alongside J.T. Miller and Will Cuylle. Not a bad line to start your first professional season. 5. He got a taste of NHL action. Using his experience from his five game stint at the tail end of last season, he knows what’s expected at the NHL level.
