I want to hear what you guys think David Perron will bring to the table this year. Having a guy like Perron around will help develop the younger players that the team is banking on for their future. I don’t find this to be a big issue as he was only signed to a two-year deal, and I feel that he can keep a good scoring pace during at least the length of his contract, if not further.Ī positive side of his age is that he will bring all his experience and leadership to the team. As I mentioned earlier, the fact that he has only averaged 65 games played over the last three years could be a point of concern since he hasn’t played an entire season during that time. At 34 years old, he is certainly not a spring chicken these days. One thing that can be a point of concern for Perron is his age. Looking at his previous three postseason runs with the Blues, Perron can put up some impressive numbers in the playoffs and will bring a lot of value to the team if the opportunity arises this season. Last year he put up nine goals and four assists in 12 playoff games.
For reference, Larkin and Bertuzzi were tied for most power-play goals on the team with six.Īnother place where Perron can have an impact is if the Wings can manage to make it into the playoffs this season, which I don’t think will be out of the question. Between the regular season and the playoffs, Perron scored 15 power-play goals. The Red Wings finished the season 26th in power play percentage at 16.3%. Making these numbers look even better is the fact that Perron has only averaged 65 games for those same three seasons, so if he can play in all 82 games of a season, he is likely to score even more.Īnother bright spot for Perron is power-play goals, an area in which the Detroit Red Wings will need some significant improvement this coming season. Since Perron is older, I mainly looked at his scoring numbers from the last three regular seasons, and he averaged 23 goals and 35 assists for an average of 58 points per season. The Detroit Red Wings were 25th in the league in goals scored with 227, which isn’t terrible they were nine goals away from being in the top 20 of the league. I remember the Wings getting outscored pretty badly in quite a few games last year, so I wanted to see what the stats were and found them at tsn.com, and they aren’t great. David Perron can bring some more offense to a Detroit Red Wings team that needs some help. However, I believe that if a guy can keep a positive rating for the season, it shows responsible habits are a part of their game. I don’t think this means that he will have a big impact on the team’s defensive woes. For the past five seasons, his plus-minus rating has been positive on the season.
Looking at some other stats for Perron, a few things stand out to me. There were so many times over the last few years I would see an open man missed by a bad pass or not noticed by his teammates. This is precisely who Detroit needed to add to our second line in order to get some more pucks into the net this year! I feel that passing is one of the biggest weaknesses of the Wings, so adding an excellent passer who can create plays by finding his teammate open is crucial for the team. Injuries are a consideration, especially since he is well into his 30s.”
His creativity makes him an excellent passer who excels at finding teammates in good scoring positions, and he finishes well enough to keep opponents from backing off of him. “Continues to put up good offensive numbers at an age when others tend to slow down. I was able to find his stats as well as the scouting report below at to get a feel for his play. Since I don’t follow the Blues closely, I wanted to get some information on what Perron is all about and take a look at his career stats. I have watched David Perron play in games against the Wings over the years and tuned into some playoff games he has been a part of. What can David Perron bring to help the Detroit Red Wings score more goals this season? The team already has a great top line, with Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, and Tyler Bertuzzi putting up solid offensive numbers, though the rest of the lines need some help getting more pucks in the net.

Steve Yzerman wasted no time signing free agent forward David Perron to a two-year contract this offseason, addressing the team’s lack of scoring depth. In another solid move by Steve Yzerman, the Detroit Red Wings picked up left wing David Perron in free agency this summer what can we expect from him?
