Perron, 37, is currently on the injured reserve, and held a 15-team no-trade list as part of his $4 million AAV contract.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TRADE ALERT: The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Sens?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#Sens<\/a> have acquired a conditional 4th round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for forward David Perron. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pwTX0dz7oe\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/pwTX0dz7oe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ottawa Senators (@Senators) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Senators\/status\/2029740033746628655?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 6, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Perron&#8217;s a pending unrestricted free agent and gives the Red Wings dressing room some more playoff experience, and a versatile winger, who can play up and down the lineup. Perron&#8217;s dressed in 49 games this season, scoring 10 goals, and 25 points. He&#8217;s averaging 13:26 of ice-time per game, and has been used as a power-play specialist in Ottawa.<\/p>\n<p>Perron&#8217;s also landed 64 hits and has 18 blocked shots. The veteran winger spent two seasons with the Red Wings from 2022-2024 before joining the Senators. Perron scored 24 goals and 52 points in 82 games his first season in Detroit, and 47 points in 76 games in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Wings were under the microscope this season after Steve Yzerman didn&#8217;t do much before last season&#8217;s trade deadline, and with a team that looks like they can make some noise in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, don&#8217;t be surprised to see Yzerman now make a bigger splash.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit has been linked to Vincent Trocheck, Elias Pettersson, and Robert Thomas up front, meanwhile have interest in Rasmus Ristolainen and Justin Faulk on the back end.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Something big is brewing in Motown, and Perron could very easily just be the beginning of a big 24 hours for Red Wing fans.<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit:Marc DesRosiers-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Perron is heading back to Motown.
