Jayden Perron's Player Profile

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - June 5th: "A premier playmaker who can pass the puck through the smallest of windows with pinpoint accuracy. Perron is quite undersized, which makes him a risk, but he shows the traits that allow smaller players to succeed at the next level."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 5th: "He’s got some of the best soft skill in the draft. His size is obviously a talking point, and there’s a boom-or-bust element to his projection, but he’s a first-round talent and was a clear play-creator on a team with a few of them in Chicago this year."

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 1st: "Perron has good vision, skates extremely well and has quick enough hands to challenge defenders and keep them guessing. His goal scoring also picked up this year thanks to a high-end shot and an ability to get it off in a lot of different ways."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 30th: "Perron can make skilled plays on the move through defenders and to teammates. He's a strong passer while also being able to finish chances with a shot that can pick corners from range."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 29th: "But will scouts overlook his 5-foot-8 frame? I’m not sure he’s a good enough skater or defensive player to play outside the top six."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - May 5th: "On occasion he is used on the penalty kill. He's quick to space and recognizes his defensive responsibilities. He is not likely, however, to penalty kill as a pro. The fact he identifies what is needed in the role speaks to his hockey IQ and 'buy in'."
