Ex-Canadiens Sniper Still Unsigned As NHL Free Agent List Shrinks

The NHL free-agent market continues to shrink as another high-profile forward remains unsigned. David Perron, a veteran forward entering his 20th NHL season, has reportedly agreed to terms with the Dallas Stars, adding another layer of depth to their forward group.

The 38-year-old, who spent parts of the past season with the Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings, brings Stanley Cup-winning experience and offensive production, though his recent injury history remains a consideration. Meanwhile, the Montreal Canadiens have emerged as a potential destination for a star forward on a long-term, $70 million contract, though no specific name has been confirmed.

The team has also recalled one of its top prospects amid concerns over forward Mike Matheson’s injury status, signaling a focus on rebuilding their lineup. Trade speculation surrounding Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin to Montreal has resurfaced, though no deal appears imminent.

The Philadelphia Flyers, meanwhile, remain a focal point in trade discussions, with multiple teams reportedly expressing interest in acquiring key players from their struggling roster.
