Though NHL training camps don’t open for another few weeks, it’s not too early to speculate about how the New York Rangers could deploy Gabe Perreault this coming season. And how they could help put him in a position to contend for the Calder Trophy as NHL rookie of the year.
The 20-year-old forward is New York’s top prospect, and has been since the Rangers selected him in the first round (No. 23 overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft. Now, after two standout seasons at Boston College, where he totaled 108 points (35 goals, 73 assists) in 73 games, Perreault enters his first NHL training camp eyeing a spot on the opening-night roster.
