Talent Analysis

Perron's game is based around his great individual skill, which makes him one of the most dangerous offensive players on the ice. He is especially adept at stickhandling his way past defenders and utilizing his accurate shooting to make opposing goaltenders nervous whenever he is near. His vision within the offensive zone also allows him to set up teammates for scoring opportunities.

Future

Perron is a boom-or-bust offensive prospect. If he can translate his scoring success in junior to the pros, he could be a top-line scorer.
