It’s a two years deal for David Perron with the Red Wings.— Renaud Lavoie (@renlavoietva) July 13, 2022

Waiting on the bucks…

David Perron signs with #LGRW

He’s been very productive well into his 30s and arrives on a Red Wings team that has a lot of talent. Only concern is if he gets relegated to the second PP unit.#fantasyhockey #HockeyTwitter https://t.co/JE4YwH9H90— Frozen Tools (@FrozenTools) July 13, 2022

Seravalli: Red Wings and David Perron ‘closing in on a deal’

Wow:

Hearing #RedWings and David Perron are closing in on a deal. #LGRW@DailyFaceoff— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) July 13, 2022

Detroit getting close on a deal with Perron. @frank_seravalli first to report. #stlblues— Jeremy Rutherford (@jprutherford) July 13, 2022

David Perron is 34, but he’s scored at a 27-goal pace or better in four straight seasons. Right-hand shot on the wing. https://t.co/rJLftVhqrw— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) July 13, 2022

David Perron’s last four seasons:
2021-22: 27 goals
2020-21: 19 goals
2019-20: 25 goals
2018-19: 23 goals https://t.co/tYqznyVpik— Brad Galli (@BradGalli) July 13, 2022

Perron also had 11 power-play goals last season — a badly-needed weapon for Alex Tanguay’s crew— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) July 13, 2022

Perron is 34 but coming off a 27-goal season, most since ’13-14, and had 57 points. Also addresses need for right-shooting forwards and adds some grit. #RedWings https://t.co/66amVvE8om— Ansar Khan (@AnsarKhanMLive) July 13, 2022

Seems like the Detroit Red Wings are going to sign David Perron. It should be very good addition for the Red Wings! We’re waiting for more details. pic.twitter.com/Bd4epWPuOz— Andy & Rono (@ARHockeyStats) July 13, 2022

Friedman: Wings and Chiarot ‘closing in’

Interesting:

Hearing Ben Chiarot and DET closing in— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) July 13, 2022

This would be the other left-shooting D for #RedWings. Will add some size to blue line with Chiarot (6-3, 206) and Maatta (6-2, 210). https://t.co/rAlFC1L7qJ— Ansar Khan (@AnsarKhanMLive) July 13, 2022

Chiarot is 31…6’3,” 234.https://t.co/KKyMgW9vFQ— George Malik (@georgemalik) July 13, 2022

Bultman, Dreger: Red Wings will sign Olli Maata for 1 year at $2.25 million

One of my favorites:

#RedWings get the left-shooting D-man they were seeking. Still figure to sign another D. https://t.co/Ozj5BQLuRB— Ansar Khan (@AnsarKhanMLive) July 13, 2022

Maatta is 6’2″ 205 and 27 years old. https://t.co/UwA0Y0nL7m— George Malik (@georgemalik) July 13, 2022

The Red Wings land their left-shot defenseman: Olli Maatta has a one-year, $2.25 million deal, per @DarrenDreger pic.twitter.com/IAqBv2dgUI— Brad Galli (@BradGalli) July 13, 2022

A heavy two-way second-line center and a shutdown LHD were perhaps Detroit’s two biggest needs in free agency. Steve Yzerman fills both within Hour 1.— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) July 13, 2022

Red Wings sign Andrew Copp for 5 years at $5.625 million

At 11:13 AM, after a pair of 8:32 AM Tweets linking 28-year-old Ann Arbor native Andrew Copp to the Detroit Red Wings…

Good morning. Happy free agency day everyone. My projection for former #NHLJets F Andrew Copp is that he signs a five-year deal with his hometown @DetroitRedWings for north of $5.35 million and south of $6 million. Similar to the Zach Hyman contract (which was 7 for 5.5 million).— Ken Wiebe (@WiebesWorld) July 13, 2022

So, promptly at 12:33 PM:

5 years $5.625 for Copp in Detroit.— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) July 13, 2022
