Confirmed with Link: Jacob Perreault acquired from the Ducks in exchange for Jan Mysak

[Whitesnake]

Interesting. Mysak was getting his game going though so we'll see but I thought he had reached his ceiling already. Maybe not.

Perreault...interesting player. We are betting on pure talent. Can't be against that.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Sure. Probably good for Laval, and he's still young. Maybe there's some potential there.

[Habs]

Wrong Perrault Kent!

True. 8G-3A in his last 20 games. Started the season with 5G-4A in 28GP.

Perreault has been held pointless in his last 9 games.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I'm not familiar with Jacob Perreault. And I'm a fan of Mysak. But between the two, Perreault seems to have more offensive abilities and maybe more NHL potential.

 

[Treb]

I think we downgraded, but hopefully Perreault proves me wrong.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Would make sense if they expect Oliver Kapanen to make the jump when his season ends.

 

[Wats]

Feel like Mysak will way more likely make NHL but Perrault has much higher upside because of his shot

 

[Le Tricolore]

Wrong Perreault. They traded for his older brother Jacob.

 

[Ozmodiar]

cool

He’ll slide behind Roy and (eventually) Mesar on the depth chart. Future middle 6 RWs.

Mysak had no chance.

 

[eklund the clown]

Looks like just a change of scenery trade for both these guys .Perreault hasn't done much since drafted in first round.Maybe help Laval.

 

[BaseballCoach]

At 19 years old, Perreault had 37 pts in 55 games in the AHL, which is very solid production. It has gone downhill after that, not sure why.

Injury. However, definitely more offensive potential than Mysak. Same age. Good gamble.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Perreault had interesting profile as a prospect but seems like his shooting skills hasn't translated. A bit like former hab Christian Thomas.

Odds are Mysak might make it as bottom sixer more than Perreault panning out. But Houle didn't seem to like him.

Things working in his favor:
Development team here.
Madden is a good scout so I trust him although it was covid year; more a crap shoot.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Wrong Perreault. They traded for his older brother Jacob.

Yes, I meant Jacob.

Unfortunately, Houle seemed to peg Mysak as a 4C. So it's possible Mysak asked to be moved so he can get more of an opportunity. Perreault is a winger and will likely be in your Top-9.

At first I thought maybe the trade was to free up a contract spot sooner, but they are the same age. You are right.

 

[Forsead]

Is he good at faceoffs ?

 

[Draft]

Good for Mysak

 

[26Mats]

When I saw the headline I thought it was Gabe Perreault at first, and was wondering could we have possibly gotten him for Savard +

 

[StCaufield]

Wrong Perrault Kent!

Yannic

 

[Bacchus1]

I get the feeling that when teams give up on a prospect they try to accommodate their wishes on where to live. Jacob may have wanted to be closer to family, especially if he has a girlfriend/wife.

Anyway, I hope he works out for us.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Mysak is listed at 5'11" and 183 lbs. Perreault is listed at 5'11" and 192 lbs.

Laval got moar big!!

 

[Steve Shutt]

Both guys have one year left on their contract.
Assuming Laval has a better chance of signing Perreault in 2025 on an AHL only contract then they do Mysak based on where they are from.
Good change of scenery for both prospects - hopefully it's a win for win for both teams

Now let's unite the Perreault brothers. Savard+ to NYR

 

[JuicyHam]

I assume Hughes asked about Zegras and they countered with this video

 

[MarkovsKnee]

He had a good rookie year, but kind of backtracked since then as he was having some injury issues during his second season, I believe.

He's a gifted shooter & skater. He might work well with a playmaker like Farrell.

Montreal took a chance on talent here. Mysak at best is a 4th line center. Perreault is only 21, still has waivers exemption for another year & can score goals. Development team has a project they can work on. Top 6 or AHLer.
