David Perron (born May 28, 1988 in Sherbrooke , Québec ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who has been under contract with the St. Louis Blues in the National Hockey League since July 2018 and plays there in the position of the left winger . With the team he won the Stanley Cup in the 2019 playoffs .

Career

At the age of 16, David Perron did not yet make the leap into a league in the Canadian junior age group and he had to continue to play in the lower midget age group of 15 to 17 year olds. In 2005, after he was not selected again in the entry draft of the LHJMQ , the highest junior league in Québec, the Panthères de Saint-Jérôme finally signed him from the second-rate LHJAQ .

Perron was able to draw attention there for the first time and scored 69 points in 51 games in the 2005/06 season. In summer 2006 he was admitted to the LHJMQ Entry Draft for the third time and this time the Lewiston MAINEiacs signed him in 101st position. In the following season he quickly became one of the most important players on his team and with 39 goals and 44 assists he was the best scorer the MAINEiacs. In the playoffs , he also had a large share in the Coupe du Président's win with twelve goals and 16 assists in 17 games . In the following final round of the Memorial Cup , the Canadian Junior Championship, he was eliminated first with Lewiston.

After Perron could have been drafted by an NHL team last year , the St. Louis Blues finally selected him in the first round in the NHL Entry Draft 2007 in 26th position.

In August 2007 he was appointed to the Canadian U20 selection , which competed in the eight-game Super Series against a Russian team of the same age group. Canada clearly won the series 7-0 in a draw and Perron was able to advertise itself with two goals and five assists.

After the Super Series he signed his first NHL contract and took part in the training camp of the St. Louis Blues in September, where he could recommend himself for a place in the NHL squad for the 2007/08 season . In his first season with the Blues team, he was able to prevail and made 62 appearances. In the following two seasons Perron developed into an important key player on the offensive of the Blues. In his tenth game of the 2010/11 season , he suffered a check from behind by Joe Thornton , where he suffered a concussion. He was unable to return to the ice for a long time due to giddy fits and headaches and made his comeback in December 2011 after missing 97 games.

On July 10, 2013, he was transferred to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Magnus Pääjärvi-Svensson and a second-round vote in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft . In his first season with the Oilers, Perron knew how to convince with 57 scorer points in the second attack row. His performance waned at the beginning of the 2014/15 season , so that he was given to the Pittsburgh Penguins in January 2015 in exchange for Rob Klinkhammer and a first-round vote in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft . After a year in Pittsburgh, he and Adam Clendening were transferred to the Anaheim Ducks in January 2016 in exchange for Carl Hagelin . He ended the 2015/16 season in Anaheim, but did not receive a new contract beyond that. As a result, he returned in July 2016 as a free agent to the St. Louis Blues, with whom he signed a two-year contract.

In June 2017, he was selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft . With the team he surprisingly reached the final of the Stanley Cup in the 2018 playoffs , but lost to the Washington Capitals there . In addition, he was one of the many Golden Knights players in the debut season who were able to significantly increase their personal statistics, so he recorded 66 points and thus became the team's third-best scorer and the best assists (50). However, his expiring contract was not renewed by the Golden Knights, so he joined the St. Louis Blues again as a free agent and signed a four-year contract there, which should bring him an average annual salary of four million US dollars. With the Blues he then won the Stanley Cup in the 2019 playoffs .
