David Perron 2023-24 Detroit Red Wings End of Season Media

David Perron speaks with the media following the 2023-24 Detroit Red Wings season.

[@charlenehaisha3791]

His demeanor just screams leadership and positivity. He’s so important to this team

[@scotey]

Future coach, I'd say.

[@aepochbrett]

He wants to be here and he's a big presence in the locker room! I really hope we bring him back. Perron has such a motivating attitude.

[@rileymahon4784]

Hope we keep him

[@Thrashman-ye4cf]

Same, he’s the kind of vet you want to keep around. Still productive, good special teams guy, very experienced and has won a cup, and he’s a good leader to the youngins.

[@HockeyStatsMetrics]

Hearing him speak reveals it’s likely David Perron will be wearing the winged wheel again for years to come. I hope Yzerman can come to a reasonable agreement with him.

[@aepochbrett]

He's on record so many times saying he doesn't want to play anywhere else. I really like Perron. We need a stable core if we are going to become contenders again. I watched us raise 4 cups. So many of the same guys on each team

[@coyote8198]

I am glad David is on our Team. He is going to be a great Coach when he hangs it up. He talks like one.

[@spencerdobkin9479]

I love Perron. This guy is so huge to the lockeroom and culture of the team. Really hope Kane and him come back. We need them both.

[@tylermcmahon6101]

Absolutely we do!!

[@pjdaddio]

Love DP. Please bring him back!!

[@CorridoC]

DP!!! No quit in this guy, bring him back please.

[@thehairygull]

This guy is the best, you couldn’t ask for someone to handle themselves better - plays his heart out and holds the team to a high standard. Doesn’t shy away from any frustration or hard questions just lays it out there all the time.

[@michigan_made4900]

This guy is a pure beauty. I hope we bring him back.

[@mattmcnick]

DP is a savage, i hope he stays on this team that dude is super competitive, works his ass off every game and is such a great leader.

[@Codylun92]

Great leadership and realistic. I think when his career is complete he will have a spot on someone’s coaching staff.

[@rattie78]

Please stay a Red Wing, DP!

[@michaela5461]

I love this guy.

[@shelbyhostutler4356]

I’ve always looked forward to his post game interviews because I love his selfless personality and passion for the game so much! I hope you are a RW for years to come DP!

[@theawayfan6052]

100% he speaks extremely well, would make a great coach one day.

[@shelbyhostutler4356]

@@theawayfan6052 I also love that he’s always on the guys asses about points because he keeps up with standings and he’s not afraid to admit that, a lot of others pretend they don’t pay attention to it. He’s just as real as he can be and wants to do anything possible to help the team win. Love his veteran presence!

[@kellyoneill1943]

What a guy 👍 DP such a veteran and leader type Hope he stays as well

[@paveldatsyuk8268]

dp needs to be back

[@Detwhat]

I would love to have this guy back. He was so clutch down the stretch. Hes a great leader. I think he would probably have to take a pay cut though. Or sign for the same deal as his first contract.

[@ajmpatriot4899]

Yeah I love this guy too! Hopefully he finishes here in Detroit.

[@billjohansson88]

There are very few players in the league today who are better at what Perron is at what constitutes him being elite at it. It's a bit of a shame that he's only getting older and slower, true. However, his leadership qualities are so important for all young people who come in sooner or later. Perron should have a two-year contract and be happy to do the crap job in the bottom 6, that's how important he actually is and he also needs to be relieved in his own team role as he has had in the team.

[@carmanwright2889]

Perron talks we and Kane talks they. I think we know who’s most likely returning. I’m hoping some younger guys beat Perron out for top 6 minutes if he does come back. That would be a good scenario for the Wings.

[@Zachleonard97]

DPs son is a converted wings fan let’s goooo. Hockey town is contagious baby!

[@mybootscamewithoutstraps]

Man if Steve doesn't keep him, then that would be nuts. He's been so huge for us and I know he wants to be here. Let's hope Steve treats him right and sees this too

[@ATLTony]

I wouldn’t mind him coming back at team friendly number. You could put him Copp and Ras as that 3rd checking line because I don’t think Fischer will be back.

[@andygilson1859]

I personally think Fischer is more important to the line-up. A penalty killing, energy guy that everyone loves and his cap hit is very low. In saying that, I'd love them to bring back Perron too. Seems like an incredible locker room guy who's vocal leadership compliments Larkin's quiet, but all round leadership.

[@andygilson1859]

Actually if Kasper comes up next year, Perron could be a very important mentor for him .... 🤔

[@andrewj72]

They gotta bring Fischer back too!

[@Nall412]

Dude is so important to have on this team. Hopefully he is here for a lil bit longer

[@planojag595]

I hope DP returns for sure but don't want Copp or Ras in the lineup anymore. We need better players than those two

[@kendallwalshiv3331]

JT offering his kid a playstation to change his number has me dead😭😭

[@planojag595]

I hope he returns and finishes his career with the Wings but hopefully not for a few more years. I know age is catching up to him but he's a leader, a gamer, and is the kind of teammate and role model our young guys need.

[@DFMotorSports]

Really hope Perron is re-signed, he adds a little extra to this team that is needed.

[@npolansky9959]

RE. SIGN. PERRON.

[@outragequitter5027]

Guy obviously fell off 5v5 as he’s gotten older, but you can tell how important he is to the team. Hope they can work out a deal and maybe just shelter him a little more at 5v5 next year.

[@HollDoll9]

Give him the keys to the city.

[@vmi4172]

I would bring Perron back for depth but we have to cut the dead weight and unfortunately the contracts SY gave out make it impossible🤦‍♂

[@Detwhat]

We have 27 million in cap space. If we need to shed more cap space we could. Also, next off season more comes of the books. Were ok cap wise. The only contracts i dont like are Holl and Copps. I think Compher played up to his deal. He had a career high in goals this season. 1 goal shy of 20. Thats not bad for a solid two way foward. If only Copp could chip in more offensively, his contract i could stomach better. But Copp is very good defensively. I'll give him that.

[@planojag595]

Cut Copp and Ras for starters but keep DP.

[@MrLuisofficial]

Welcome to Montreal 🔵⚪️🔴

[@aj2155]

Like the player but when he has the puck his feet just die. Can only make plays stand still or gliding.

[@redwingsrules4919]

Go away to your favorite Blues organisation

[@Asmus17]

What a leader.
