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

[Ranger12]

His father didn't really established himself as a NHL player before the age of 25. So who knows, might be a late bloomer like his dad.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Coulda woulda shoulda you 2nd place loser!

1st place in the loser line, so still 1st in something

 

[1909]

Lots of drama for a minor league move.

 

[Guess]

Worried about the trade, Mysak has a good work ethic whereas Perreault supposedly needs work on that. Perreault also has awareness and decision making problems.

We'll see if being back home will motivate him.

Edit: Didnt know that the Perreaults see themselves as American.

 

[rik schau]

Your mandatory PR move. lol Happy for Mysak to get out of there at least.Whats next,claiming Lemieux off of waivers? lol

 

[Habs Icing]

Maybe this is flawed thinking, but if a Quebec kid is buried in the AHL, he would probably rather be buried in Laval, than in most other AHL cities, no?

Perrault is a Quebec kid only in name. He and his siblings are Americans first.

Not sure why Ducks made that move. What was hidden within Mysak?

I think you uncovered another golden vein of comedy with that sentence.

I believe the tweet was by Basu, but basically sums this up. Neither is a real good prospect, so the Habs acquired the potential homerun while Anaheim gets a guy who's likely to play some games, but probably not many.

 

[dcyhabs]

The Ducks board indicates Perrault is unmotivated. Mysak plays hard but has limited upside.

We'll see if Houle was holding Mysak back, and we'll see if he can motivate Perrault.

Never a + player even in jr yeesh

Statistics of Jacob Perreault, a hockey player from Montreal, PQ born Apr 15 2002 who was active from 2018 to 2024.

Two major issues with that statement:

1) +/- is an entirely meaningless stat
2) He was a + in his first year in junior

 

[Tyson]

On paper Jacob looked like a great rising 1st rounder during his draft, right hand shot and a good goal scorer in the OHL.

I mentioned it a lot last year that his struggles definitely impacted Gabe in the draft, the brothers had a similar profile but the older one was looking like a bust which made it hard to have faith in Gabe

Late first round picks rarely pan out

LOL yourself ! How come Les Canadiens de Montreal are not allowed to acquire Quebec born players ?

Like Mesar will ????

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

My feeling is that the Ducks believed that Mysak was buried on the fourth line in Laval and thought he had more to offer, and for some reason they completly gave up on Perreault. Because a 21 years 1st rounder for an AHL fourth liner makes no sense.

Something might happened on the ducks side. They decided they didn't beleive in him enough and they try Mesar for a change. They might have someone else with Perreault's upside in their system. But it looks like a bad decision typical as our beloved (lol) Bergevin. Habs systems needs more the upside of Perreault than the upside of Mesar. Time will tell who won that trade. But maybe none of these players will make the nhl anyway, or a minor role in the team at most.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Yeah I legitimately didn't know this prospect. I met his dad years ago, arguably the best face off man of his era.

If he learn from his father, he certainly have a good coach in face off, easy to say !

 

[Garry Valk]

Is he reporting to Habs or Laval?

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Which is fine as they need someone with a higher ceiling. And as far as Laval is concerned, they gave up their 4C in the deal to get a winger who can potentially be in your Top-9 and maybe Top-6.

At our developping point, we need higher potential prospects. The bottom lines are less important at year 3 rebuilt.

First time on the Habs board, huh?

No of course. But it is worse when a Quebec born player is acquired for a non Quebec born player. And vice-versa.

I know you've been here for years, I was joking

 

[montreal]

I haven't seen Perreault since his OHL days but I like the trade a lot of course as Mysak was no longer a prospect imo until he shows much improved speed, size, strength, skating. Good shot and worked hard night in and night out, wish him good luck!

Mysak joins a long list of MB/Timmins drafted players that got traded. Tinordi, Kristo, Leblanc, Beaulieu, Galchenyuk, Collberg, McCarron, Leks, Andrighetto, Quailer, Scherbak, Sergachev, Bitten, Poehling, KK, Romanov, Mysak. Juulsen and DLR were lost to waivers in case anyone was thinking of them.

 

[tnq]

Well, we trade a 182 lbs guy for a 192 lbs guy, we win 10 lbs

 

[calder candidate]

Perreault probably has more upside, it probably won’t have a impact but looking like a win.

Your correct the Habs have not done well however Pastrnak was pretty good for the B’s.

 

[Ezpz]

Pace wise Perrault was still San Diego's highest scoring non-vet forward. He was fourth in scoring but ahead of everyone else in pace as he's played 10-20 less games. Maybe he requested a trade.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

Perreault has more upside but is only likely useful in an offensive role so it may be a longer shot that he makes it. Mysak has more of a bottom lines skillset with less upside but a greater chance that he will be able to play in the NHL in such a role.

That is the trade in a nut shell.....no reason for any drama.

Tbh, on this board most posters would say we are not allowed to hire anyone from Quebec at any position.
