David Perron is leaving the Detroit Red Wings, and there’s speculation he might choose the Toronto Maple Leafs over the St. Louis Blues. This speculation is partly due to his familiarity with Toronto’s head coach, Craig Berube, and the Maple Leafs’ need for a player like him to boost their playoff performance. While St. Louis Blues fans are eager for Perron to return for a fourth stint, this seems unlikely due to past disagreements and a perceived lack of appreciation from the Blues’ GM. At 36, Perron likely wants to join a team with a strong chance of winning the Stanley Cup, making Toronto an appealing option. However, if he prefers to retire with the Blues, they would need to actively pursue him and show respect in their contract negotiations.
