The 34-year-old forward from Sherbrooke, Canada scored 57 points in 67 games in the 2021-22 NHL season and was 3 goals away from reaching the 30-goal plateau ...

Adding an effective player to a short-term deal should certainly benefit a younger Red Wings team. He has 665 points in 973 NHL games this season and barring any unforeseen circumstances, his 1,000th game will be played in a Red Wings uniform. Perron is a solid two-way goal-scoring winger that should be a useful asset in the top-six of the Red Wings lineup.

Fantasy Take: Detroit Adds David Perron to Scoring Mix (dobberhockey.com)

One thing Perron can do is score goals. He had 94 in 251 games in his third stint with St. Louis, or 31 every 82 games. He averaged 15.5% shooting in those four ...

He is a right shot that plays on the left wing but can also skate on the right side. It does open the door for someone like Pavel Buchnevich or Jordan Kyrou to take his spot, but it wasn't a heavily-used top unit, either. It's hard to imagine Detroit makes this signing without Perron on the PP in mind, so he, Larkin, and Bertuzzi appear to be the locks. According to the same data, Perron was top-20 in the league among all forwards in driving dangerous shots with the man advantage, in the same range as names like Nikita Kucherov, Claude Giroux, Andrei Svechnikov, and William Nylander: At the age of 34, decline is always a concern. It seems the rebuild is nearing an end in Detroit. They have cleared out the plethora of bad contracts that were around post-Ken Holland and GM Steve Yzerman can start to formulate his team.

Detroit Red Wings secure depth in free agency, sign forward David ... (ESPN)

Among the busier teams in free agency on Wednesday, the Red Wings signed veteran forward David Perron away from the Blues and defenseman Ben Chiarot away ...

That said, there is still room on an NHL roster for a defenseman who has been in the postseason six times with three different teams and has 31 career goals and 118 points. But there appeared to be chemistry issues on the ice once Ekblad returned, and Chiarot struggled in Florida's 10 postseason games. The Red Wings signed Chiarot to a four-year deal with an average annual value of $4.75 million against the salary cap. Having played for five teams already, Perron will never be confused for a stranger in free agency, and coming off a standout season, Perron and his agent figured to be one of the busier camps fielding calls when the signing period opened. Perron played in 67 regular-season games, averaging 16 minutes, 59 seconds on the ice, and led St. Louis with 11 power-play goals. It was his third tour of duty with the Blues. Perron played on their top line and was an impactful postseason performer with 28 points in 47 playoff games during this recent stint.

DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings today signed left wing David Perron to a two-year contract with an average annual value of $4.75 million.

Perron also recorded 28 points (12-16-28), a plus-six rating and 22 penalty minutes in 17 postseason games to guide Lewiston to the President's Cup as QMJHL champions before chipping in three points (1-2-3) in four games at the 2007 Memorial Cup. In all, Perron has recorded 665 points (269-396-665), a plus-21 rating and 718 penalty minutes in 973 career games since 2007-08, in addition to 61 points (24-37-61), a plus-four rating and 84 penalty minutes in 104 postseason appearances. The 6-foot-1, 202-pound winger also recorded 13 points (9-4-13) and 10 penalty minutes in 12 postseason contests as the Blues reached the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, falling to the eventual Stanley Cup-champion Colorado Avalanche in six games.

However, the team has a couple albatross contracts that have hindered Armstrong’s ability to sign quality players - namely the last two years of Marco Scandella’s deal that no one else in the league wants to touch. Today, David Perron tested that market and decided to continue the direct route that the Blues have established with the Detroit Red Wings, signing a two-year deal worth $4.75 million. With the short term and the modest raise, odds are good that Doug Armstrong still would have more than enough opportunity to sign the UFAs/RFAs that he will need to at the end of next season when the cap may increase by $2 million depending on revenue.

Thank you, David Perron (St. Louis Game Time)

But, for now, let's thank him for his efforts on and off the ice. The Blues drafted Perron with the 26th overall pick in the first round of the 2007 NHL Draft.

We shouldn’t be surprised Perron left St. Louis. The Blues reportedly didn’t want to let him go, but they didn’t have the cap space to retain him (and possibly his desired salary). To the Blues fans and players. Perron finished the 2021-22 NHL season with 57 points (27 goals, 30 assists) in 67 regular season games. thanks for the memories it breaks my heart to think it’s over but looking forward to see you at Stanley Cup Reunions— David Perron (@DP_57) @StLouisBlues July 13, 2022 Perron has been a fan favorite since joining the Blues in 2007. But, for now, let’s thank him for his efforts on and off the ice.
