Blues sign Perron to 2-year deal
"St. Louis Blues Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Armstrong announced Wednesday the club has re-signed forward David Perron to a two-year contract."
EDIT: From your No. 1-seeded beat reporter Jeremy Rutherford comes the terms: David Perron has signed a two-year, 4.3 million extension with Blues. He will be paid 1.8 and 2.5 next 2 yrs.

Good call on the 2 year contract length, Joe.

1.8 first year and 2.5 second which is great in my opinion. My only question is does this take him to unrestricted free agent when it’s up? If so we should have locked him in for at least four.
No one knows why, but second only to eating the brains of the living, the dead love affordable pre-fab furniture.
Must have hit post at the same time...
Nice…
But JP isn’t the friend I was referring to. lol
PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?
Yeah and after I hit post the edit came in on the main post.
It all happens so fast here on the interwebs

Nope.
He’ll still be an RFA, as far as I know. I think RFA status is 10 years in the league or 27. Perron will be only 24 when this deal is up.

I'm certain that "age 27" is right...
… but I’m thinking that the other condition is 8 years active service. Nobody comes into the league under age 17, so a 10-year period would be redundant.
Either way, it’s moot. He’s played three seasons and just completed his age-21 season. Perron will still be RFA in two years.
The details are....
1st year: 1.8
2nd year: 2.5
According to one of my friends.

Good contract.
The carrot is hanging from the end of the stick if Perron wants to get paid in 2012.

and I sure hope he gets paid a lot in 2012.
for performance of course.

I’m hoping that, 70-80 goals from now, in 2012, Frenchie grabs that carrot and devours that mother…

That's a cap hit of, what, 2.15 I think?
That’s not too shabby, I’d say. Good work, JD and Army!
Now whatI’d like to see is what this means for EJ’s deal, if anything. Obviously he’s our franchise, but A) he’s only had two years, B) he has yet to play real top pairing minutes (though that’s mostly not his fault), and C) he can’t sign other offer sheets. I’m thinking with all that in mind, The Big Johnson measures up at about 4 mill avaunt the cap. Thoughts?

You'd have to go to at least 20 to get him into his 40s.
And everybody knows that in the new NHL, 40 is the new 33.

Sweet! the only one left is EJ right?
and possibly kinger, but probably not
I don't think they'd have QOd King if they weren't going to sign him.
If nothing else, they’re going to need a fill-in for all of Janssen’s suspension time.
All RFAs get QO's if they're expected to play in the next NHL season
Even if the Blues don’t sign him, they can still trade his rights away to another team that’s in need of another enforcer. The enforcer market is certainly booming, with Boogaard earning a 4-year $1.6M AAV contract and Shelley landing a 3-year $1.1M AAV. Not entirely certain how much the Blues could get in return, but the QO keeps their options open.
Gah, I'm in class all day and I miss this.
Nice move by the Blues to get him in at 2 years, so they can lock him up again at the end of this term. Very smart. Glad Frenchie’s back – I think it’s hysterical that he broke his own signing on Twitter.

Damn soccer camp
has kept me off the computer for days
Why did it have to be mid 90’s with heat indexes over 100 this wk.
It is miserable at 5:30 in the middle of a huge soccer field. And I’m just watching.
Bryce has drank over a gallon of water every night and not had to pee.
I think this is a great deal for Perron and the Blues by the way
