Confirmed Signing with Link: [WPG] Jets re-sign Mathieu Perreault (4 years, $4.125M AAV)

[SixthSens]

Nice signing for the Jets, I've always like Perreault.

 

[IamAnton]

Yay! It's mullet time

 

[MardyBum]

Good to hear. Definitely looks like we're losing Dano to expansion now though.

 

[Guardian17]

I'm glad he is sticking around!

 

[Cenzo_]

Soooooo Andrew Shaw who is a pretty comparable player who will probably make a bit less points but has more intangibles (grit, agitator) got a contract of $3.9M for 6 year which has been called a terrible contract.

But Perreault who is 4 years older and looks to be more injury prone got a $4.1M contract and people say its a great signing?

Must be the Habs hate right....

Shaw was an RFA with 2-3 years before UFA, whereas the Jets were buying UFA years entirely with Perreault. That's more expensive.

Also, Perreault stacks up quite favourably with Shaw....

You're joking right??? These aren't even remotely comparable players

 

[CHaracter79]

averages 5 less points per 82 then wee David Desharnais... and gets 4.1m

damn. and I dotn even liek DD

 

[CHaracter79]

exactly.. shaw is only 24 and perreault is what 28 or 29

and only averages 2 points less per 82 games.

can you do the same excercise with david desharnais, out of curiosity.

im not good with these advanced stats?

 

[CHaracter79]

14-16 5v5 P/60

Shaw 1.22
Bickell 1.27
Toews 1.87
Perreault 1.98

"A bit less points"

convenient stats... everybody can find them like I did above. proving that,.. most fans stick up for their players more then they should.. and under value other teams players more then they should.

point in case DD has more P/82 games then Matty P

stats mean nothing often

but to say this 4.1m is a steal and shaw at 3.9 is ludicrous.. is just as ********

 

[leafsnat1on]

IMO, Close to the same amount of money that Palmeiri got....aka an overpayment for a Top 9 forward with majority of ice time on the 3rd line if I'm not mistaken. Good term length tho--nothing as crazy as Shaw

This is the most useless comparison ever. One guy who specializes in garbage goals vs another that specializes with the puck on his stick.

Maybe we should have them fight and see who wins, that's about the same type of comparison.

DD scored .446 P/82 games

Perreault scored .577

Perreault had 12 more points than Desharnais last season and only played in 6 mores games

Perreault vs DD.

Someone can probably interpret them better than I can, so I won't even try.

I would think the player who can handle the puck is more worthy of a long term contract than the player who is paid for the same dirty goals many players can provide.

Except a player of Perreault's ilk is a dime a dozen in Montreal's system. Shaw was a need.

 

[Duke Silver]

Can't be used as a comparable in Johansson's arbitration hearing because this is a UFA contract.

Kadri's would be more apt. Same draft year and age, similar point production.

Johansson needs to shoot more.

 

[CHaracter79]

DD scored .446 P/82 games

Perreault scored .577

Perreault had 12 more points than Desharnais last season and only played in 6 mores games

Was that p/82 just last year? I'm talking about entire career.. Surely you knew that DD has out scored him career wise

 

[CHaracter79]

Perreault vs DD.

Looks like more power up in the old school Nintendo games. I'm guessing that's better


Is that career wise or just last season?

 

[Jets]

He's a perfect Swiss Army knife #5 forward type on a team that isn't built around one or two big stars.

I like this deal.

Yep. Can be a top 6 W or 3C for us next year. Buying UFA years so it's a good price. He's the kind of guy you want Connor/Laine to be playing with.

Why is there so much talk of DD and Shaw???

 

[kylbaz]

Those that think that this is a bad contract obviously haven't watched the guy play.

Except for production, age, RFA/UFA status, shot metrics, role and playing style...

I mean, I guess they are both below average height for NHL players.
