Re: 2014 DobberProspects NHL Mock Draft - Discussion
I absolutely detest Perlini going to the Leafs. Just despise it.
Good player, but not top 10 IMO. He's an example of a guy I'd like to let another team take a chance on.
The guy is getting wayyyy overrated. He's a big player who can skate and has a nice shot but he's got a complete lack of intensity, very inconsistent, and floats a bunch. Not a fan. His numbers look nice but if you actually go into them, he had a massive September/October and then fell off to just under a PPG pace the very rest of the year. Then bombed in the playoffs, and was totally unimpressive in the U18. He was injured yes but that happened after he fell off the way over PPG pace.
And for the love of all things nice, if someone says "but Verghaeghe"...
A linemate is not a reason to pick a player.
I understand why he went this high but I disagree with it vehemently.
