Mathieu Perreault
Prospect Grade: 7.0 C (About Prospect Grades)
History
Perreault had a dynamite preseason his rookie year in junior, and a quick start to the regular season. Though he ran into bouts of inconsistency in the second half of the season, Perreault finished the year strongly, finishing eighth on the team in points with an impressive 52 points, good enough for fifth in the league among rookies. Perreault was a fixture on the Titan second line, and used his quickness to his advantage on a regular basis. He elevated his game drastically in the playoffs.
2006-07: With only one year in the QMJHL under his belt, Perreault flashed his high offensive upside and broke out in the 2006-07 season. He tallied 119 points (41 goals and 78 assists) in only 67 games. He was named offensive player of the month in November.
Talent Analysis
Perreault is a quick and shifty skater who is a slick playmaker with the puck, boasting great vision and a keen awareness of his teammates. He has a quick shot, but is just as quick to send fast passes across the goalmouth to waiting teammates. He is an adept centerman, putting up a strong winning percentage despite his diminutive size. He has proven to be a clutch, big-game players in his first year with the Titan, and will be counted on to build on this next season.
Future
While his lack of size may always be an issue, there is no questioning Perreault’s talent. He is potential second line centerman, whose quickness and creativity is suited greatly for the new NHL, though a growth spurt, and increased muscle mass wouldn’t hurt.
