Steve Yzerman continued a busy day of free agency and agreed to terms with veteran forward David Perron.
The Detroit Red Wings announced Wednesday the two-year deal with an annual average value of $4.75 million.
The 34-year-old has banked multiple 20-goal seasons during an NHL career that began in 2007 with the St. Louis Blues and spans 973 games. The Wings gain a Stanley Cup champion (2019, Blues) who can add scoring and also serve as a mentor for the younger players.
Perron's signing was part of a busy first few hours of free agency for Yzerman, who also signed center Andrew Copp, forward Dominik Kubalik and defensemen Olli Määttä and Ben Chiarot.
