les_glorieux Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Sources tell TSN that the Phoenix Coyotes have agreed to a one-year deal with veteran centre Yanic Perreault worth $700,000. Perreault, believed to be fully recovered from abdominal surgery, previously turned down contract gestures from both Chicago and the New York Islanders. The Ottawa Senators, Calgary Flames and Tampa Bay Lightning also showed interest. Perreault scored 22 goals and dished out 35 assists in 69 games with the Nashville Predators last season. In 740 career games he has totals of 217 goals and 247 assists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 what I don't get is...why the Coyotes for 700 000 when there was an apparent offer from Ottawa at 600 000? Ottawa certainly has the better shot at the playoffs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa certainly has the better shot at the playoffs... Ice time. With Ottawa, what kind of role would he be getting? Then there's also the weather factor. B) Mind you, I'm sure if Ottawa ends up winning the Cup, he'll be kicking himself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be on the downside of his career but, as a role player, he still has stuff to offer (faceoffs, not taking shifts off, etc.) Go :hlogo: Go!

jetsniper Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 So many better teams gave him offers and he goes to Phoenix. He would've been 1st line in Calgary for petes sake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch_Habs_Fan Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Always liked Perreault. I hope he has a great season with the Yotes. Ditto Loved the guy, but wasnt on the right place with Montreal. So wish him all the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbhatt Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 He scored again last night...he now has 5 goals and 2 assists in 7 games. I can't help but think that he would have looked pretty good centering Kovalev and Samsonov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shu Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 He is sick!!!, this sighning was a great thing for the coyotes. Perreault is a very under rated player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
