Is he? I know fans in Ottawa don't like him, but he's a veteran guy who's worn a letter. I'm guessing within the room he's liked and respected, and that's what matters.

I have a soft spot for the St Louis Blues so I've seen a lot of him.

He's a despicable rat on the ice. He is old and a weak skater. He'll produce ok but will cost us a lot of games with bad penalties at bad times.

He's a veteran and technically a winner (thanks to Vegas) but he is no leader. Less than bargain bin, this is a trash can player.

Shit player and extremely unlikeable

Of course we sign him

Well that's the summer retool taking care of: bad trade, bad signing (2 years at least) and one minor leaguer. Maybe another no-name player later today.

I expect nothing and am still disappointed

I don't agree with you that he's shite. He is unlikable, but he's on our team now and so unlikeable by other fans and teams. I don't mind this. Better than what we paid Tarasenko.
 
Dimiao putting his stamp on early, he would likely know more about Perron than 99% of the league

Not sure why anyone would be upset at this, what happens on the ice in years past has no bearing on what he brings to the middle 6 of the Sens for the next 2 years. Good for 35-50 points, 1100 games. Seems like exactly what we should be wanting

It's a legit concern. But I like this modest contract more than a lot of the long-term deals given out to middle-six wingers today. Cap flexibility is king.

What about Zucker @ 5x1? I would have much preferred that.

edit: Or even Arvidsson at 4x2
 
My best bud, a die hard wings fan who's more knowledgeable about hockey than me says this about him:

"Heart and soul, love the guy. His skating is cringeworthy though. Not worth 4 anymore, but I like him. Good Pp guy still, but he can't keep up with the pace and takes tons of lazy stick penalties because he can't keep up. I wanted him back at 2x2 to be a 4th line guy, 2nd powerplay..but clearly his value was higher than that. But he works his ass off"

Those are all his texts i put into one paragraph so the flow of sentences might sound weird.

The only thing is that his points per game has gone down each of the last three seasons. I hope he doesn't fall off a cliff come January.

If he can put up the same point totals as last year (76 GP, 17 G, 47 TP) for the next two years then he will be a solid add.
 
the moves today are 100 percent because of how immature and leaderless our core is.

Staois needed to get some actual veteran professionals in the org to put them in their place.

I'm upset we signed a scumbag who is about to fall off a cliff. 35 to 50 points for a 36 year old bottom 6 player seems very optimistic. 30ish tops this year and 20ish next year is my expecation.

It isn't unthinkable so we'll see, but scumbags aren't the kind of veteran I like.

He just put up 56 points as a 34 year old and 47 points as a 35 year old, not sure expecting 35 points from Perron at 36 is really much optimism.

He's exactly the type of player this team needs, the country club atmosphere needs to be squashed.

You hate to play against him and love to play with him. He's what we hope Grieg can become.

I really like the Jensen add (despite the bad asset management), but I'm not exactly sure I would call Perron mature. The guy always takes careless penalties.

more about adding players and leadership that doesn't take their careers and winning for granted.

Staois putting a lunchbox stamp on the team. We'll see if it works.

Don't like perron as a player to play against, i guess there's that.

Er, is this the Pinto money? Going to Perron and Jensen?

Maybe we just like pickles?


“The Pinto situation is a unique one,” Andlauer said. “I don’t know the last time Ottawa was at the salary cap … probably never. We’re in a bit of a pickle right now trying to figure this out.

“But I know one thing in talking to the players and talking to the management, Shane Pinto is very much valued as a member of this organization. And we want to get started with Shane Pinto in our lineup. The desire is there, we’ve put ourselves in a pickle with the salary cap. And I guess it’s to be continued.”
