Perron

[theograce]

First off great seeing him play 14-15 mins at pushing 38 years old.

I watched a bit of the Sens game and what was cool was his energy and celebrations/congratulations. Such a hockey guy. So much passion.

I miss this vibe so much. He would drag you into a fight one way or another.

The blues lack skill … and higher end players who can or will lead/drag.

He was exactly the guy to go to war with! He was like a burr in the saddle for the other team. We lack that will to win for sure.

Buch and Kyrou for Perron and Tkachuk

Do it Army.

[Younghopp1991]

I dont know if he would ever look to get behind the bench as a assistant after his playing days. He just seems like he has more to give the game. Class act

[11WSChamps]

One of my favorite players.

He was productive and one of the few players with the skill set to make plays without needing a lot of space.

We don't have one player on this roster with that kind of skill and its glaring.

DP57 easily one of my favorites Blues. That dude was skilled and also loved to stir some [shirt]. Great player

I could see him getting involved with a QMJHL team.

Skilled player who just flat out loves to play hockey. One of my favorite all time Blues. Still hard to believe we let him go 3 times. A head scratcher for sure.

For context, Blues "signed him" three times, drafted once and FA twice.

Traded, before free-agent status in a non-playoff year for pick that became Barbashev.

Subsequently, Oilers traded him, Penguins traded him, picked by Vegas in expansion.

Later he signed contracts with DeadWings and Senators.

True, but to me, that is still letting him go or losing him. It’s semantics, but we still chose to lose/expose him 3 times.

- drafted him and subsequently signed to a couple contracts
- traded to EDM (lost him #1)
- signed him as UFA again in 2016
- picked by VGK in expansion in 2017 (lost him #2)
- Signed him as UFA again in 2018 and won cup
- Let him walk as UFA in 2022 (lost him #3)

Fair points.

And, I dig Perron, post white skates rookie year.

(Coach Andy was less than impressed.)

[Backesdraft]

Quit responding to the OP people. He doesn’t care about Perron. He’s trolling the Blues.

DP57 ranks in my Top Five Favorite Blues.

The Blues lost my loyalty when they treated DP57 like that. He clearly loved St Louis and seemed to be a big fan favorite.

Same here Plags. It is just a shame he didn't spend 20 years here and retire a Blue. And I think if he was asked, he would say so too. He was a throw back somewhat like your moniker.
