Confirmed with Link: OTT signed David Perron for 2 years / 4M AAV

[BondraTime]

I'm upset we signed a scumbag who is about to fall off a cliff. 35 to 50 points for a 36 year old seems very optimistic. 30ish tops this year and 20ish next year is my expecation.

It isn't unthinkable so we'll see, but scumbags aren't the kind of veteran I like.

He just put up 56 points as a 34 year old and 47 points as a 35 year old, not sure expecting 35 points from Perron at 36 is really much optimism.

He's exactly the type of player this team needs, the country club atmosphere needs to be squashed.

You hate to play against him and love to play with him. He's what we hope Grieg can become.

 

[swiftwin]

the moves today are 100 percent because of how immature and leaderless our core is.

Staois needed to get some actual veteran professionals in the org to put them in their place.

I really like the Jensen add (despite the bad asset management), but I'm not exactly sure I would call Perron mature. The guy always takes careless penalties.

more about adding players and leadership that doesn't take their careers and winning for granted.

Staois putting a lunchbox stamp on the team. We'll see if it works.

Don't like perron as a player to play against, i guess there's that.

 

[The Professional]

Veteran leader with a Stanley cup ring who plays with an edge and can put up points on 2nd-3rd line. Not bad.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I'm good with this signing. I've always wanted Perron to come over but obviously at a younger age would've been preferable. Still, if he's mostly here to play on the third line, what's not to like?

Uhh okay?

Needed to find Giroux a friend in his age group

Habs fan, 16 is high

They really, really hate us. And not just on HF. It is hilarious.

 

[Big Muddy]

What about Zucker @ 5x1? I would have much preferred that.

edit: Or even Arvidsson at 4x2

Haven’t seen you in awhile but not surprised you’re critical and dumping on every deal. You must still be heart broken about Pierre’s departure.

Er, is this the Pinto money? Going to Perron and Jensen?

Maybe we just like pickles?


“The Pinto situation is a unique one,” Andlauer said. “I don’t know the last time Ottawa was at the salary cap … probably never. We’re in a bit of a pickle right now trying to figure this out.

“But I know one thing in talking to the players and talking to the management, Shane Pinto is very much valued as a member of this organization. And we want to get started with Shane Pinto in our lineup. The desire is there, we’ve put ourselves in a pickle with the salary cap. And I guess it’s to be continued.”

The Chychrun money went to Jensen.

Likely more money heading out

Or, a bridge contract for Pinto and/or another subtraction (e.g., Joseph). I haven’t done a deep dive on the numbers.

If you think it's bad now just wait until we push that win streak up around 15.

Truly deranged little smurfs

 

[Dionysus]

Like his fiestyness. Would have preferred Foegle or Noesen due to age though.

 

[DrEasy]

Followed him and liked him a lot the year St-Louis won the cup. 5 years later, obviously much older, hope he still has some gas left in the tank.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

We needed vets, every time we played Perron I’ve liked him (as in didn’t like to play against him) so I’m good with this.

As long as we sign Pinto.

-7 -12 last two years.

Points dipping. Which is expected with age.

Yzerman didn’t want him anymore.

Seems like a prick. Which is good. Undiscpline. Bad.

Will likely have way too much responsibility here.

How do you know that?

Garrioch (I know I know, but) wrote "the Wings tried desperately to keep him".

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I like that we’re adding cup winning vets. I don’t like that we’re giving this contract to a 36 year old who is slowing down. We’ll see but I don’t completely hate it after seeing the contracts given out today.

But please don’t let this be what keeps Pinto from re-signing.

 

[R2010]

Would've preferred a player like Noesen tbh. That extra 1.25 m would be really helpful right now.
