Sure but expecting 20 goals and 50 points in a full season is unrealistic from Perron as a 2nd PP option

Good news bad news eh?
Hopefully DP can inject some energy into the dead offence of late.
Ya. He seemed a little snake bitten previously. Hopefully he gets a lucky one early and provides a spark.
I expect he will get a warm reception when they announce him.

I know a lot of people are unhappy with the signing, but I’m glad he’s back. Kind of like a TDL move for us. With a healthy roster, he’s a very useful guy you can move up and down the roster.
On an unrelated note, why does the title of this thread have him listed as a D?

People in this thread came for me when I called him washed. The verdict is in - he’s completely done.
Monster contract for this guy was unbelievable. Who was staios negotiating against?
Maybe retire

A buyout doesn't save much in cap or real money, unless they don't think he will make the team.
2.66M spread over 2 years, but you also have to account for the cost to replace his roster spot, which is 775k+. So a buyout costs 3.41M in total when considering all the economic costs.
Buying out Perron and replacing him with a 775k+ player does free up about 1.9M next season, but that comes at the tradeoff of 1.33M on the books the season after that. So it only really makes sense if they are 1.9M away from a very important move, to the point that they can justify losing 1.33M of cap in 2026-27.
Maybe they send him somewhere else as part of a bigger trade, but I think they probably gamble on keeping him. Part of why they acquired him was to add to the veteran presence, and Staios was very candid last year about how difficult it is to acquire good solid veteran leaders. I'm sure they are disappointed in his level of play, but his cap hit is a sunk cost.
