The Daily News of Halifax, Nova Scotia, today published the results of a poll of the hockey operations staffs for seven of the QMJHL’s eight teams in the Eastern division, covering 30 categories. Caps’ prospect Mathieu Perreault won three of the categories: Best Player, Best Playmaker, and Best Stickhandler.
Here are the highlights:
“BEST PLAYER: Tie, Mathieu Perreault (Bathurst) and Thomas Beauregard (Bathurst), three votes — The Q is divided on who is the better player, but Perreault, the playmaker, and Beauregard, the trigger man, form a devastating line. They’re the highest-scoring duo in the Q, with 106 goals and 125 assists for 230 points in just 64 games.”
“BEST PLAYMAKER: Mathieu Perreault (Bathurst), five votes — The Washington Capitals draft choice (177th overall in 2006) has 76 assists in 61 games. His slick passes have helped Q goal-scoring king Thomas Beauregard net 70 goals. “He’d make any player score goals,” one GM said.
“BEST STICKHANDLER: Mathieu Perreault (Bathurst), five votes — As clever a playmaker as Perreault might be, the five-foot-nine, 155-pound centre is equally adept with the puck on his stick. He can flat-out dangle and makes defenders look silly.”
Perreault has 112 points in just 61 games with Acadie Bathurst, and moved into third in the league in scoring over the past week. The Caps’ other notable Q League asset, Baie Comeau’s Francois Bouchard, wasn’t eligible for this poll as it was restricted to Eastern division teams. He continues to lead the Q in scoring with 120 points.
