With a lot of young talent coming to Chicago over the last few years, one of the most slept on players since his draft in 2014 is Brendan Perlini.
Perlini, 23, so far hasn’t gotten any offers to play in the NHL next season by any team. As an RFA, Chicago does own his rights.
It is very important to keep that DeBrincat-Strome-Perlini line together going into the 2019/20 NHL season.
During his first season as a Chicago Blackhawks, Perlini played 46 games with 12 goals and 3 assists. Those numbers aren’t shocking or mind-boggling but the chemistry Perlini had towards the end of the year on that second line with Strome and DeBrincat could improve his game.
