From The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun’s “Rumblings“:
David Perron, 38, intends to play again next season. Perron, who had 13 goals between the Ottawa Senators and the Detroit Red Wings last season, is still talking to the Red Wings, but if something can’t be worked out there, then he’s looking to hit the open market.
Continued (paywall); it looked like the Wings rushed Perron back from hernia surgery last season as he couldn’t really skate at all. If Perron regains that last stride via a healthy summer’s worth of training, he won’t be a liability if re-signed.
