About Brendan Perlini:
Brendan Perlini was selected sixteenth overall in the first round of the 2012 OHL Priority Selection Draft by the Barrie Colts. Later on in the 2012-13 season he was traded to the Niagara IceDogs.
Offensive Buzzwords: Very good stick handler with better than average puck skills. He has good hockey sense and is able to hang onto the puck and distribute. Good on-ice vision.
Skating: Brendan Perlini is a good skater with better than average speed and acceleration.
Defensive Buzzwords: This is where Perlini’s draft position will be determined. If he can improve his defensive awareness and commitment he can become a top level prospect. This seems to be a work in progress. Stay tuned.
Prospect Analysis: Brendan Perlini was a late arrival to the 2014 NHL Draft rankings. After a less than stellar rookie season he has been a fast rising 2014 draft prospect. Perlini is a player to definitely keep an eye on. He’s come a long way in a short time to being a potential Top 10-15 NHL Draft pick.
