I approve of this pick.

I approve of this pick.

Mantha part 2. Same question marks.

Just... ugh.

 

[KG]

So what's the knock against this guy?

 

[Jakeman]

Good pick and talented scorer!!

 

[Etch]

So what's the knock against this guy?

The guy scored all of 12 points last year.

If he keeps going at the current improvement rate, we hit gold.

If this year was a fluke, well... Darn.

Big kid who can score and yet another kid whose dad played pro hockey.

Just one season of OHL success is a red flag, but I'm pretty optimistic.

 

[OOEEL]

Having Fiala go one pick ahead of us just makes me hate Dave Moss even more. Big thumb down to this pick though, didn't want Perlini at all.

I hope I was wrong in my assessment. I had him at 18 on my list. I have him as a 15 goal guy but said he would go earlier than 18 if someone saw 25-30 goal upside.

Hope he's a difference maker. This was where he was expected to go. We do need size and speed. Just hope hands and competitive nature are there in the NHL.

 

[Lewis]

Born in England. I hope he does well.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Exactly...I hope I'm wrong in my assessment

geeesh, I'm hating Barnhardt right now. Review Barnhardt's history with 1st rounders and then look at this pick...ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[lanky]

He's a bit of a project. It'll take some time for him to be a force every game, but I think he'll get there.

 

[DesertDawg]

I wonder if this pick is what Ottawa wants?

 

[British yote]

I liked him as soon as I found out he was born in England . But I hope this year wasn't just a one off and he keeps improving

 

[XX]

Needs to score 100+ next year to stay on track.

Needs to score 100+ next year to stay on track.

He can do it..... Can't he?!

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Well, I had to go back and review all of Perlini's videos and the one thing that sticks out his he has a very good shot.

It is quick, (very quick release and from all angles) and he does skate well. But there aren't a lot of highlights with him making moves in tight and scoring. They are all when he's on the wing or driving wide or when he's open in space.

He does look like he has good wheels, better wheels than Pyatt.

 

[IPreferPi]

Many proponents of Perlini compare him to Brandon Saad and his falling in the draft. I really hope for our sake that Perlini turns out to be anything like Saad, because otherwise I do agree that he seems to be Taylor Pyatt 2.0 in the making. Big meh with this pick.

 

[RemoAZ]

He just turned 18. He has a lot of growing and learning to do. We won't know if this was a good pic for quite a while.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Well, I really like his interview on the radio with Gambo.
