Interesting.
Thought we would have been able to get a pick for him, but not surprising we can't.
had a really good career, but is too slow to be effective in the new NHL after losing a step due to father time. Father time remains undefeated as they used to say in boxing.
Good news is, more players are getting healthy and we need the roster spot.

They are keeping Ylonen up then. Probably see him in action tomorrow

Yeah, I don't quite get it, unless there are players that are ready to return and that I'm not aware of. He's legitimately better than a few of the players that skated against 'Zona, but, contract, and possibility to get rid of a contract. Also having him clear waivers may be useful for a team trading for him.
Another "win" signing for our vaunted pro scouting team hired by Bozovin....
Whichever scout gave the ok that we should sign him should be fired on the spot. Actually, it should have happened years ago, but, you know, Bozovin.

Who is he better than?
They clearly tried to get a pick from a contending team and no one offered even a 7th. But he may get claimed on waivers.

Just going to say it... I love this management group.

To be honest, he was a good signing but injuries and medical problems slow down alote
But that's the point, they should have known this in the first place. It's not like no one saw it coming

Well, that's hard to tell since Perreault himself played, but, Armia for sure. I'd certainly get rid of Hoffman and Gallagher before Perreault too. Not much difference between Dauphin and Perreault, and indeed, it seems Dauphin took his spot/made Perreault available (if he wasn't already).

..Or a team wants to acquire him but want him to clear waivers before.

Not really.. it happen during the season and they only sign for 1 yrs and less then 1m. A lot can be said on Bergevin but there was nothing wrong with this move

Could be that they need the roster spot because one team is about to dump its garbage on us in a trade...
Gimme some good garbage, as long as it comes with some good prospects and/or 1sts.

Possibly, and that garbage may even be traded FOR Perreault (albeit waiver-cleared Perreault).

Dennis Bernstein on TSN690 now says that he doesn't think anyone would claim Perreault. And he can see this end with a contract termination if he clears.
IF this ends with a termination, that will open up another contract spot. That could also give Perreault the chance to sign with anyone as a UFA. And if he does before the deadline, he will be eligible to play in the playoffs for that team.
