“So far, they haven’t been accepted, so we’ll see where the process takes us,” McPhee told Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “But there’s a line there. You either have a deal or you don’t. … We made our offer, and they said they’d circle back. They’re looking for a longer term, and if they get it, they won’t be back.”
Perron is fine if you don't mind how wildly streaky he is, same with Neil. Perron didn't have a good post-season and Neil was last seen drawing a penalty on Orpik by punching himself in the face. OK, it was Orpik shouldering his arm but the result was the same.
Neil would probably go for 6mil/5 yrs and Perron similar He just had a career year and probably wants the same $$ and term as Neil. If they are looking for longer term than 3-4 yrs, McPhee sounds like he's fine with them walking.
Is this the same Perron who was on the Pens a while back?
