Gabriel Perreault is one of the best prospects for the 2023 NHL Draft, ranking 10th in North America according to the latest list published by the NHL Central Scouting. Although the 18-year-old represents the American team on the international stage, the son of Yanic Perreault is originally from Sherbrooke.
Gabriel Perreault had a remarkable season, breaking a record held by none other than Auston Matthews. Indeed, the forward collected 53 goals and 79 assists (132 points) in 63 games with the American under-18 program, dethroning the 117-point mark set by the Leafs star in 2014-2015. He also finished ahead of his teammate Will Smith, who is considered a surefire top-5 pick.
