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

[HSF]

Perron looked good the last two games

I hope we still add a top 6 guy to play with Stu then have Perron or G on the 2nd line whoever is going

 

[Karl Eriksson]

He's really good in tight, and we don't have tons of guys like that (i.e,, Grieg)

 

[Senscore]

This guy is our deadline acquisition


And at some point Nick Cousins.

That would nice, but not sure we’d have the assets to swing this, or at least, be prepared to give up what it takes in this market.

7 more goals till double digits. C'mon Perron, go on a heater

The second line was really good last night & hopefully if they can keep it up would help out the top line. The Pinto line is also coming on which is a good sign for this team, they just need to fix that 4th line before the weekend.

They miss cousins. He is tenacious. I don't mind Gregor.. I like his speed and he is physical. The C is the issue. Brazeau from the Bruins or Acciari from the Pens. Lizotte would be ok too. 2 would be better than 1r but the Sens have so little wiggle room

Brazeau would be interesting since he can play C or RW, but he's not as physical as he should be for his size, at least I haven't seen much of that when I have seen him play. I guess it also depends what they want on that 4th line whether they want to get bigger & tougher or they like the speed & forecheck.

I still prefer McCarron, he is big, hits, will drop the mitts can play C/RW, takes faceoffs, plays the PK & blocks shots & for a big guy is a decent fast skater & can play both roles.

Interesting quote from Perron, I think this is the kind of vet mindset we were after when we signed him. He read the room, gave them time to process, but then says what needs to be said.

 

[OD99]

The goal to tie the game yesterday came from Amadio and Perron being tenacious on the puck.

Those are the types of goals you score in the playoffs and we are seeing Perron included in those types of goals regularly now.

If he reaches 100% over the next few weeks, that bodes well for our playoff chances and then who knows once you make the dance.

 

[Ice-Tray]

I’m really liking his game right now. Glad things are going well for him after a tough start to the season (personal issues)

Having a life threatening situation with a child into an injury that makes you miss basically half the season isn't the greatest way to start off a year that's for sure

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Lookin like a boss out there.

 

[SpezDispenser]

His post game presser oozes professionalism. Love it

Excellent stuff. Really like this guy. He can stick around and work for the club if he wants if it was up to me.

 

[aragorn]

Now that he has gone through his family issues & injuries Perron is starting to round out like the guy he has been in the past, a very steady player who can produce some pts & play a very responsible game.

 

[Micklebot]

7 pts in his last 12 games, he's heating up at exactly the right time.

 

[coladin]

He is totally changed the structure and depth of this team. He is clearly faster than he has been all season and whether it was a mental or physical thing, no doubt he is now looking like the player we thought he was

 

[SixthSens]

Secret deadline addition was Perron coming back around and producing- he is going to be key down the stretch and in the playoffs (hopefully).

So many fans eating crow on this guy.

Hey I'm happy to eat crow and hope I continue to do so. I also hope Perron continues playing well and hits double digits in goals. But I also hope we can upgrade on him in the off season and get someone who's a safe bet for middle 6 production because despite Perron's better play lately, he's still not likely to justify his contract next season.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I've always had faith he would pay dividends eventually, but I also think some criticism of the deal/him was fair. He's come out and proven he's still got some juice, but hard to fault anyone for needing to see it from a 37 year old before believing it. Hopefully he stays healthy and keeps contributing, because I like what he brings. Tenacity and poise. Strong on the boards. Patient in traffic.

You will have another serving of crow next season. Thank you.

Hey I hope the crow comes in the playoffs. If Perron comes clutch with some scoring on our way to the SCF, I'll be munching away
