David Perron (D) 2 years / 4M AAV

[Tuna99]

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.

He’s so smart, a small play on a Detroit rush back the other way but he say he couldn’t keep up and stepped Into the skating lane of his man who couldn’t get his feet going and kept it as a 2 on 2 instead of a 3 on 2. He makes it hard for the o

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

We can share a crow at the Cup parade.

On a side not - Travis Green went from being one of the top 3 guys I would of Tanya Hardied to not get his name on the Cup, now I’d let this guy babysit my kids and take my wife out to dinner (she likes guys with big cheeks if you know what I mean!!)

It's amazing what you can make up on the ice just by outthinking the opponent or anticipating something before they do. I agree that's the kind of thing he brings.

What a career Perron had, he's actually 32nd in scoring among Quebec born players and frankly, that's quite the list. Now that Bergeron retired, he has the most among active players

Didn't realize he had more than Daniel Briere.

I'll eat literal shit if that happens. Not too worried about it right now though, but will gladly do it if it makes a difference!

I won't actually do that

I like him a lot. He plays smart and he makes things happen. It feels like sometimes we have a bunch of players trying to make cute plays out there but he plays a lot more straight forward than most of our players. He’s always making things happen and he’s a major reason that 2nd line has been contributing.

Probably the biggest reason actually.

I think he’s a great guy to have with Batherson and Cozens.

 

[Sensinitis]

Meshing very well with Cozens and Batherson

Could always just eat Gabriel's Pizza

Come on now, that's taking it too far

It's like a deadline addition. Excellent stuff

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.

Which I think is why SS acquired them. Amadio has also been producing a lot lately.

Another huge moment down the stretch…

 

[OD99]

People in this thread came for me when I called him washed. The verdict is in - he’s completely done.

Done knocking the rust off?

He has been so good and consistent during this run. He makes that line go.

 

[swiftwin]

Veteran doing veteran things down the stretch.

This is exactly why they got him. Coming into the zone right on time....this is a big add for this playoff run.

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.

I cannot get this quote out of my head....this is a big statement to the young guys and the rest of the team. Sort of rattled them in a good way.

Perron is showing the way like someone who has been down this road before. He has had a difficult year personally but his true colours are starting to shine on the ice!

I was not familiar with this man's game. What a hound out there. Always gets timely goals.
