I'm OK with this AHL swap to bring a hometown kid in

I like this deal for Montreal. I think Perrault may just be a late bloomer …

seems early to give up on a guy you drafted in the first round a few years ago

Saw a Perreault change of scenery trade coming, at this point he just hasn't done enough in the AHL to make a push for NHL time on one of the weakest rosters. Time for a reset.

Different GM, not his guy. Plus this is D+4 and he isn't close to looking like an NHLer, it is what it is.

Kind of a nothing trade. AHLers trading places.

Two 5'11 forwards from the 2020 getting flipped for one another - #27 overall for #48.
I'm thinking Perreault might give Laval a bit more time before looking to Europe, so this might work out for Montreal. Still, they gave up the positionally more valuable player.

Feel Mysak was never given a chance in Laval. Might be bust for bust.

I was hoping Perrault would get a chance if the team ever got healthy as a 3rd wheel with good players. I feel like he's a guy that just can't carry a line (even in the AHL) and there just wasn't enough talent to let him play his game... that and the injuries have piled up. Put him with a good LW and C that will draw the attention and let him get into shooting areas and he'll be at his best. I wanted to see a Gauthier-Zegras-Perrault 3rd line in pre-season next year, oh well. We have plenty of depth guys.

That's often how these trades tend to work haha hopefully helps both players in the end
When Perreault was drafted by Anaheim, Pat Verbeek was still working in Detroit. When you inherit prospects, you might have to disregard where somebody else took them and just go with your own valuation.
Yeah, guys get a kick in the ass and then put in more work on their game to get further. We'll have to see how this impacts either of these guys but it wouldn't surprise if one or both get going after this.

This is a change of scenery type trade, both guys from the same draft class who have shown flashes, but not enough to really get a look at the NHL level by their respective teams.
Both prospects are top 60 2020 picks inherited by new GMs.

They'll sign Tuch and he still has some upside, I'm willing to give a bit more time to big guys like him

Thought Mysak could be a Lehkonen like player but he has no offence, maybe could become a warm body on the 4th line but I'd imagine he's bound for Europe within two years
Did I ever
