Get him on LTIR for the rest of the season and re-evaluate in the summer. Let him spend time with his family while we use the cap space for a RD or scoring winger.
This right here.

Let Perron work on his health and family, and hopefully management scoops up some depth using his cap hit
 
Phil I imagine
Signing Phil Kessel would be hilarious, especially if we made the playoffs and bounced Toronto in the first round lol

Maybe he could introduce his 'fitness' regime to the rest of our roster so they quit getting injured

That can't be good at his age. I wonder if this might end up being it for him in the NHL.

He's skating with the team again so probably not done with his career, but yeah, a slipped disc at 36 is likely to mean he won't be a regular in the lineup for much longer and I wouldn't count on him contributing much going forward. Disappointing to say the least.

Why wouldn't he go the Jack Eichel route? Just because of his age?
Perron to me seems like the type who would do anything to keep playing hockey. I'd assume the only to keep him out would be his family situation.

Ullmark, Zub, Perron... 1 M$ retained on Korpi, being stucked with Hamonic... it's starting to be a lot for a team trying to get out of its rebuild.

Aside from the 3rd it's been a wash. Joseph has 4 points this year. I don't get the obsession with this guy. He is 27, his career best is 35 point and 5/8 season he scored less than 20 points. Perron has never scored less than 20 except a season where he played 10 games.

Even if comes back with 35 games to go and scores a few big goals or plays up in the lineup, it's still more than Joseph. Joseph also being the same guy who sat a game against his own brother due to "discipline issues."

Not since Brandon Bochenski, Ryan Shannon, Peter Regin and Bobby Butler have I seen Sens fans rate a player completely on hypothetical rather than actual production.

He is not a loss to this team, and whatever he provided has been replaced by Cousins/Gaudette off the waiver wire for #1M a Pop.

Perron replaced Tarasenko, not Joseph. No idea what happened with Joseph, maybe he was not welcome anymore so they paid to move him but he should be in the conversation when talking about Perron. Salary and role it's Tarasenko replaced by Perron, Joseph replaced by Amadio although Amadio doesn't even PK so now it's Norris/Giroux on PK1

Cousins is on cheap contract and we're lucky because he can provide more than his AAV. Gaudette is not a comparable and came out of nowhere as he was not proven in the NHL even a 28 y/o

Get him on LTIR for the rest of the season and re-evaluate in the summer. Let him spend time with his family while we use the cap space for a RD or scoring winger.

Yeah but that call has to be made by a real doctor on the Hippocratic Oath. The question is when would he be cleared to play?

Family a big part of that decision. Nothing worse than having young kids you can't play with because you're broken

This seems to have slipped by unnoticed with the attention on Chabot being out and Amadio back in the lineup,



I know Green mentioned he is getting closer in a presser, but didn't realize he lost the non-contact jersey.

First I heard of it was yesterday, so a good sign.
 
Stutzle's last hope.

We need him soon. The guy did just score back to back 20 goals and near 50 points. There's definitely something there.

Needs to be back ASAP. Im assuming within the week.

I'm just afraid that Perron isn't going to change the way Stutzle has been playing this year, i.e.:

- skate into the O-zone,
- realize no other forward was able to keep up with you
- do a spin-o-rama or avoidance tactic to keep the puck until reinforcements arrive
- reinforcements do arrive, along with the opponents' entire team
- end of opportunity

That’s why I’m ready to see Norris on his wing. He’s by far the second best skater in our forward group so at the very least he can keep up.

This is exactly why I keep stressing that he needs a winger who can remotely keep up with him, Gaudette and Giroux are not it nor is Perron
