Dude seems to be happy running his YouTube channel, I don't think he'd make a pro comeback to be honest.
Also, if y'all haven't checked it out, it's pretty interesting stuff! He talks locker room stories and such.

Some team might bring him in on a PTO to enable them to dress the required "NHL" players for pre-season games.
But, he'd either only sign with a team that would sign him if he played well, or sign somewhere that offers a chance for him to showcase himself.
But, I don't think he's going to get much. I mean, other 2014 picks that are just out there now are Virtanen, Ritchie who are overseas now. Probably ends up following them there too.

How about value of no thanks.
The dude has a good attitude and seems like a good guy, but he always seemed a step behind the play the last few years I saw him in the NHL. OK hands but brains and feet not fast enough to keep him in the bigs.

I know what I said. He could likely easily get a job in Europe or Russia as well. I truly think he's happy doing his thing on YouTube now.

???????
You do realize he has spent the last two seasons in the AHL? and suffered many injuries
Pretty much this and doesn't have the skillset to be either a top 6 guy nor a bottom 6 guys a tweener that is worse than his stats in the aHL would indicate for the NHL.
Lots of these types of players out there.
2 straight years in the A and spending more time on the IR then on the roster? He is no longer a tweener
You are right but I was talking about him in general and why his NHL career didn't really happen.
Lots of guys look good and can out up points but being a top 6 NHL is really hard and most guys like Perlini have 1 or 2 big things going against them be it consistency, effort, IQ, skating ect that won't seem as apparent in lower leagues but is critical in the NHL.
Also most of those guys simply can't or won't transition to being good bottom 6 guys for the same reasons.
Put him on the bench behind Leon in Edmonton in case future playoff disappointments continue to weigh him down. Having the right mindset can make a huge difference.
