Habs sign Mathieu Perrault to 1-yr / $950K deal

[Krustchev]

He is a good defensive winger. Decent shielding for Poehling on the 4th line.

Had 20 points last season.

 

[Rolex]

I trust Bergevin…

I’m also on my 4th glass of Barolo

 

[Hoiles]

Wasn’t he the guy who missed a face off while being distracted by Perry on the bench in the playoffs? I’ll miss Perry.

 

[GrandWazoo]

I like Perreault, he slowed down but he's a versatile forward with a scoring touch.

yes. And that was another comical Perry moment

 

[Sal_Butera]

Damn I’m going to miss him, but he’s played an awful lot in the past 12-months without must rest, not sure how much is left in the tank for an 82 game season

 

[Sal_Butera]

I wonder with all these W, if Lekhonen now gets dangled or dare I say even Toffoli

yep...he might not have much left....and this off season is especially short.

 

[Habspatrol]

Luckily for him he isn't spending the whole off-season partying like his teammates.

Perry is a guy you rest up and hope to have healthy for post season. I think Cole could have benefited sooo much from a year with Perry

 

[Rolex]

I think 82 games is a lot for Perry, and i doubt Habs coaching staff would have benched him

It’s ok that we moved on…we squeezed the absolute max from him, time to move on

sounds like the Habs did not offer Perry a second year...

I guess Spezza wanted to be a Leaf more than Perry wanted to be a Hab

 

[Habs53]

This was an upgrade on Perry. I assume he will take some faceoffs too. His numbers at C are pretty good.

 

[Guibs]

He played very well against us (obviously motivated). Taking a big pay cut to play here. Hopefully he can be good on the bottom 6. He is a big body that also played in PP, mostly Perry's spot, to block the goaltender's vision with the Jets.

 

[Habsy]

It's a great pickup, especially at that price.

He’s 5’10”. That’s not big. But he plays “bigger” than his actual size.

 

[AH$$$]

As a player Perreault <> Perry
As a teammate Perreault <> Perry (probably)
As an entertainer Perry >>>> Perreault

Toffoli is not going anywhere
