Warhippy Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) This and Mueller confuse me. We don't have good luck with over agers in the draft. We had the option of drafting more local kids with size in positions of need. I just don't get the two forward picks in the 4th round but whatever. Let's hope this kid can put on some weight and actually develop properly. It's never a bad idea drafting a prairie kid so there's always hope Edited June 29, 2023 by Warhippy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being smaller as well as a questionable skater I hope this kid has prairie heart to make up for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2023 UMD should be a good spot for Perkins to develop. Bronwyn Pichetti (PSA Master Coach rating with 21 years experience as a skating coach and a former USA gold medalist figure skater) works with both the UMD men’s and women’s teams on skating and has achieved good results with their players. They also have a solid training, strength and conditioning, and human performance staff. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Erased Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Wow what a steal. It’s basically like a 2nd round pick. I can’t believe he was still available! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Skating is a concern eh...well it won't be due to his weight, tipping the scales at a whopping 156lbs I would have thought speed would be his LEAST worrysome attribute. Best of luck to him and his development! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcasm? Wrong thread? Or are you legitimately really high on Perkins? If so, I’d be interested to hear why? Nothing against him. I think the kid has potential and he’s heading to a good program for his development at UMD. I just don’t recall ever hearing him rated much higher than the 100’s, either in his D or D+1 years, so I’d be interested to know why you see second round pick value (if that’s really what you meant)?

DownUndaCanuck Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Small, over-ager, bad skater, waste of a pick really but I know why we wanted to stock up on playmaking centers - we don't have any down the pipeline. If he's lucky he'll crack into the AHL one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s generally a good PR policy for management to try to blow sunshine up the collective arses of the Canucks fanbase whenever the opportunity arises.

cripplereh Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 A bit of a question mark on him.But Alvin must have saw something he liked. Hope he turns out to be a steal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be interested to see what his vitals look like once he’s in the NCAA. Right now, his listed weight is a headscratcher. The SJHL had him listed around 175 lbs and then the USHL had him around 155 lbs the next season. Have to think that’s a misprint. Unless he was a really chunky kid when he played for Humboldt and then he lost 20 lbs when he went to Youngstown. Seems more likely he’s around 175-180 lbs now and that 156 listing in an error. The 5’11” height is at least consistent across most sources. Who knows, maybe he’ll be 6’0” and 190ish by the time he’s 20-21? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 From an HFBoards user: Perkins is one of many interesting draft eligibles on the USHL's Youngstown Phantoms roster this year. Played his original draft year last year in the SJHL with the Humboldt Broncos.Perkins looks like an interesting "glue" player, he seems to be in the middle of a lot of plays either breaking them up or starting the rushes up ice. I love his game - very tenacious and persistent all over the ice, great at puck retrievals. Shows good enough skating, speed, and finishing skills to be a legit prospect worthy of draft consideration.Heading to the Minnesota-Duluth next year and he's an excellent fit for the type of forwards that program usually produces. https://forums.hfboards.com/threads/c-matthew-perkins-youngstown-phantoms-ushl-2023-119th-van.2932234/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw the size and weight I just assumed he could fly. Then you read that skating is an issue and it’s a curious pick for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
