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.

What Steve Yzerman's busy Wednesday says about Detroit Red ... (Detroit Free Press)

David Perron, Ben Chiarot and Andrew Copp aid it made a difference to hear Steve Yzerman wanted them to sign with the Detroit Red Wings.

"Steve did a great job building the team in Tampa," Copp said. "This team is definitely ready to start competing on a regular basis for the playoffs and who knows what can happen from there."

"Detroit is going to be good in a couple years, just wait. The Wings have struggled with depth for so many seasons, Wednesday's influx seemed like a piñata burst. The Wings may need to reserve a section at Little Caesars Arena for Copp: Family in the area includes, "my parents, brother, cousins, aunt and uncle, grandparents," he said. He's topped 20 goals multiple times during a 15-year career that spans 973 games, including this past season, and 71 of his 269 career goals have come on the power play. "For a kid who grew up in the 90s, Steve Yzerman was an icon in the game and one of the best players. "It’s growing my game and having a good opportunity with a good, young team," Copp said. "My mom is pretty excited, she has more reason to go down to Windsor and see me," Chiarot said. "First of all, the moment you get a call from Steve Yzerman, it catches your attention right away," Perron said. Yzerman sent a message Wednesday when he signed Chiarot, Andrew Copp, David Perron, Dominik Kubalik and Olli Määttä: Expectations on the Wings have grown exponentially.

Red Wings Free Agency Frenzy: David Perron (Octopus Thrower)

The Detroit Red Wings signed David Perron yesterday in free agency. What can we expect from him heading into this season?

However, I feel that having a team full of rookies isn’t the way to go. That was something that led to a lot of controversy in the Red Wings community. The other half thought that the Red Wings shouldn’t go and spend money because it’s pre-mature.

Detroit Red Wings: Predicting the opening night lineup (Detroit Sports Nation)

Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman was quite busy on the opening day of free agency; now let's predict the opening night lineup.

The third pairing on opening day is a bit of a wild card. I hope to see Simon Edvinsson earn a spot in the opening day lineup over the summer. I would love to see Berggren and Soderblom make the Red Wings on opening day, but I don’t expect they will. This will be a significant upgrade to Detroit’s second line and the best group we’ve seen in quite some time. The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran winger David Perron to a two-year deal that averages $4.75 million. Just when you thought the Red Wings were done, Yzerman elected to add a pair of wingers.

Re-signing Nick Leddy meant the end of David Perron's time with ... (STLtoday.com)

Just a few hours into free agency on Wednesday, Perron signed a two-year deal with the Detroit Red Wings worth $4.75 million a year. Leaving St. Louis, Perron ...

“Obviously a guy that I have a lot to thank for, just being able to play on his line. And I wanted to be a part of that.” “I think he’s letting me be,” Perron said. “Which I think is a long way away.” “Those are guys I exchanged text messages (with) already,” Perron said. This latest four-year stay was Perron’s third stint with the Blues, leaving previously via trade to Edmonton and after a second stint here, to the Vegas Golden Knights in the expansion draft. “It’s a rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul league right now,” Armstrong said. “To the Blues fans and players. “We did offer one-ways to Charlie (Lindgren) and Joshua,” Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said. The Blues also signed forward Will Bitten of the minor-league Springfield Thunderbirds to a two-year, two-way contract. Those moves leave the Blues with $3.63 million in salary-cap room according to CapFriendly.com. That leaves enough to re-sign restricted free agents Niko Mikkola and Scott Perunovich, with maybe a little left over. “It’s a great organization.

Red Wings Wrap Around: Recapping a Busy Wednesday (Detroit Hockey Now)

Here's a look at some other signings that may have been off the radar. Austin Czarnik. Austin Czarnik was offered a two-way deal, likely to spend most of that ...

Detroit, it seems, will also not shy away from a skirmish with some of the muscle it added. Other teams within the conference have grown stronger, no more than Ottawa. Johnny Geaudreau signed with Columbus, putting a little power in the Eastern Conference. This would have been the big news of the day until Yzerman signed one veteran after another. Pysyk played 68 games last season for Buffalo and is a long time veteran with 521 games to his name. The right-hand shot now overcrowds an already saturated defensive corps, adding more credence to the speculation that Yzerman has more moves to trim numbers. But Yzerman addressed the desperate needs of the team–shoring up at center, and giving the special teams a boost with the acquisitions.

Red Wings receive high marks for work in NHL free agency (The Detroit News)

The Red Wings added to both ends of the ice, led by forward Andrew Copp (Ann Arbor/Michigan) landing a five-year deal. He was joined by forwards David Perron ...

Murphy slotted the Wings among his winners in free agency, identifying Detroit as "an Atlantic Division team that could make noise next season." Goldman wasn't as high on Chiarot's four-year, $19 million deal, calling it "a choice, and not a very good one." The Red Wings added to both ends of the ice, led by forward Andrew Copp (Ann Arbor/Michigan) landing a five-year deal.
