I wonder why he fell so far? Either way, he's a guy that could still grow an inch or two and fill out.

He's no Kelly Summers.

sounds like a really good pick.

It's funny both our seventh rounders were ranked in the 70's by central scouting. i feel we did pretty good for what we had.

 

[Fusbolito]

Weren't they both 70s in NA skaters? I think I saw that one of them was 155 overall. I don't remember for sure.

 

[BK201]

Yup, Perron ranked 70th and Summers ranked 73, and Miles Gendron was ranked 74 xD.

Good pick.

 

[Back in Black]

I was expecting a SWEDE!

Intelligent player and pretty skilled but you get the feel he will be too weak for pro game

Meh.

With your 7th round picks, you can gamble on high-skill guys like Perron. If he's not strong enough to play NHL hockey, you're really not out any valuable assets.

7th round picks are essentially lottery tickets. Might as well shoot for the moon.

Yeah Frank needs to fill out but still very young
He's from a place I lived before

I predict he's going to put huge numbers in the Q next year. Surprised the Habs didn't take him earlier. Pageau 2.0?
