Hi everybody!
i`ve been a long time reader on hf boards and this is my first post. I was just waiting to hear this guys name to do a move it guess. I think nobody here can give you a better report on perron than me, as i have played against him several years in a row while he was playing for shermont (sherbrooke/fleurimont). A fact everybody must know about him is that he went from being a midget ''A'' player 3 years ago to a top qmjhl prospect. i have played against him both in midget and junior. back then he was a cocky little a** tearing up the league with his fancy moves. everybody just hated that guy cause he was 3 years younger than us and so good. when he first entered shermont as an underager (16) in junior A, even his team didn`t want him in, cause he was too selfish with the puck, i`ve heard that`s also why doubble letter teams never were interested in him, that and also because he was paper thin.. he finally got accepted by his teammates, and as a reward he led them to regional championships. after that he played junior AAA and got drafted by the mainiacs. He has matured a lot since those days, both physically and mentallyhis shot and hands are gold,just can`t remember the number of times he caught me while i was playing defense. He has to improve his overal strenght and speed if he want to get to the next level. He has fixed up his attitude, thats the biggest part, he now is a very classy guy. this guy is a real late bloomer, a gem coming out of nowhere, what he has done until now is already an accomplishment.
my guess is that he gets drafted in the 2nd round, with the potential of becoming a poor mans version of kovalev. by the way, kovalev`s used to be his nickname, and he also compares himself to kovy.
good luck to him!!
