Perron Hopes To Re-Sign With Detroit, Plans To Play At Least Two More Years

Red Wings winger David Perron is slated to reach unrestricted free agency this summer after two seasons with Detroit.  However, as he told Sebastien Lajoie of La Tribune , his preference would be to avoid hitting the open market and simply stick around with the Red Wings.  The soon-to-be 36-year-old was a productive secondary scorer this season, notching 17 goals and 30 assists in 76 games, finishing just a point shy of cracking the top five in team scoring.  Perron added that he plans to play for at least two more years which means he’ll likely be looking for a multi-year deal this summer.  His set-to-expire deal carried an AAV of $4.75MM and it’s possible he could land a bit more this time around.
