Player Discussion David Perron (D) 2 years / 4M AAV

At 4 mil you need more than “a goal in the playoffs”.

I expect a lot of players to score at least one goal in the playoffs at some point”

Yes but getting to the playoffs is the point, and he’ll help us get there.

Not sure why we have turned on David Perron? He’s been through a tough start to the season but what I see on the ice is good even though probably a bit overpaid (which I don’t care about because Brady is underpaid)

They have to make the playoffs. Losing 4 in a row with half our best players missing? We're the mustang that is losing control during the race, and going off into the crowd.



Ottawa worries me.

It's not that those other teams are great...it's that Ottawa keeps tripping over their own feet.

4 losses in a row and counting.

Every time we play good hockey to get our hopes up, we always go on some big long losing streak.

We're doing it again.

We're very lucky that almost all of the teams chasing us are playing 500 hockey.

When you have injuries, to key forwards, he absolutely has to contribute . And he has been a disaster and doing nothing when the team needs him most. Slow, second to pucks, and maybe that's a confidence thing, but for the sake of the team he has to find a way to do something, Anything. Guy has no pulse. No jam...just damaged goods

We are a good team, a playoff team. We aren’t lucky, we are good

It's got nothing to do with desire, pulse or jam.

When you can't get to spots on time, you just can't be effective. He needs good players around him to work a cycle game and then we will see his positive traits.

Team needs to get healthy and find the game that had us looking like a team that would challenge for a division spot.

So far it is 2 steps forward and 1/2 step back...let's make sure it doesn't get worse than that.
