Confirmed with Link: Wings sign David Perron (2 years, $4.75m AAV)

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Still reported to be closing in on the deal. It's not 100% yet.

 

[Reddwit]

My first thought was this woulda been cool in 2009…

But he’s been a lot better than I thought the last few years.

Blues fans adore him.

Its been raining in Detroit.

I'm guessing this is what happens when Stevie puts on a raincoat.... deals just start happening left and right.
This is why he didn't want to wear his raincoat to the draft... He knew it would cause too much distraction and take away from his drafting duties.

4.75 a year for him is not bad

 

[HeHateMeFrisbee]

That's me and my friends with David when he got drafted (I am standing awkwardly in the back lol)

Get hyped!

 

[better Red than Dead]

This shows you how perceptions change when you have a Calder trophy winner and a runner up as well as blue chip prospects. Guys look at this team as rising.

 

[RedWingzz]

I love this...

I've always loved Perron.

Great signing!

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

This is also a great deal for Detroit.

 

[Hoog]

Love this term and cost. Also, love that we are adding to our specialty units.

 

[BlueKnight]

Blues fan coming in peace. Please take good care DP, You got a class act that can help the young guys. We already miss him.

This is also a great deal for Detroit.

I miss all those excited post by analytics folks about Chiarot signing

 

[mk80]

Take care of DP57! That's a great contract for the player you're getting!

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I miss all those excited post by analytics folks about Chiarot signing

Dude Chiarot was expected to be the #1 defender in Montreal when he was previously the #3/4 guy playing next to Weber in a shutdown role with Carey Price behind him. 80% of the defensemen in the league would have put up the same results he did with that atrocious Montreal team. Try to remember that they just won the lotto, dude.

No mention of his xVAR/60 per $1?

 

[ColdToiletSeats]

he's a beast good signing

 

[KJoe88]

I’m hoping he’s going to have two years of great play in him ala Pavelski.

I still remember how much of a menace he was when we were still in the West.

Him and Pavelski were Wing killers. They ate us for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

Arguably the best player we signed today, and it's a pretty friendly deal imo.

I love this one.
