Winnipeg Jets sign Mathieu Perreault, 3 years x $3 M per year

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Hmm…never noticed him before, but his stats aren't too bad. Might be a bit too much money for him. 5'10" 175 lbs.

One good season with the Ducks. Good for him to be cashing in already, but too soon methinks to pay him this well.

Hmm, I obviously don't know the league inside out but you know its a ridiculous free agency day when guys you've never heard of are getting 3 mil a year

Kind of weird that Anaheim wouldn't qualify him even though they wanted him back. Seems like they did him a favor but I don't really see why?

I'd much rather have Raymond

Perreault reminds me of Boyd and Dawes, not good quite enough for top 6, too small for bottom 6. Good for him to get paid, he did do quite well in Anahiem last year

Good fit on the third line. Happy about this one.

He's about a foot and a half tall but he was the most aggressive forechecker on the roster in DC. I'm reading he's actually resigned there instead of Winnipeg so I'll have to see what happened. Matty's big problem in DC was George McPhee kept sending him down to the AHL after he would do well so he never got any traction. Boudreau immediately signed him in Anaheim last year, let him stay up all year, and he produced. Give him good wingers and he's a 2C on a decent chunk of teams.

TSN Tracker says Washington. Which is it Jets or Caps?

[PegCityFlamesFan]

Jets. Their official feed sent out a tweet after.
