St. Louis Blues forward David Perron is a man of many nicknames: DP, French Toast, Mr. Overtime and Mr. Consistency. And, rightfully so, as he’s a left winger, a hard worker and a great leader.
Perron was originally selected 26th overall in the first round by the Blues in the 2007 NHL Draft. After the draft, he told some reporters that he had every intention of making the team at training camp, and later signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the team that amounted to $2,755,000. His offensive skill, consistent creativity, and persistent passion made him an unique left winger who gradually became a fan favorite.
