The Dallas Stars signed 38-year-old forward David Perron to a one-year contract worth $850,000 on Friday as he enters his 20th NHL season. General manager Jim Nill cited Perron's veteran leadership and competitive mindset as assets in Dallas's pursuit of a Stanley Cup. The Stars have experienced a slow start to the season with a 3-3-1 record and needed forward depth.
Dallas is currently dealing with multiple absences, including Matt Duchene being sidelined for three months following core surgery and Oskar Back out with a broken finger. Perron, who recorded 28 points in 65 games last season, will miss Saturday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks due to visa processing before joining head coach Glen Gulutzan's squad.
