Eric Perrin

Perrin has been playing in Finland and Switzerland the last few years and it seems to have paid off as he surprised and impresed many with his fine rookie season last year with the Lightning (36 points in 82 games). This year Perrin will most likely be in a checking role with the Thrashers but due to the lack of a quality second line wingers, Perrin could be put into a scoring line with a good camp. In very deep leagues Perrin would make a good sleeper and for other leagues he's a good guy to watch in training camp.

Perrin left the Lightning and headed to Europe for last season when it became clear the new CBA salary cap on two-way contracts was going to keep him in the AHL. Now, the league has increased the minor-league salary amount to $95,000 from $75,000 so Perrin can go up and down easily without needing to clear waivers. He's a decent player and a buddy of Marty St. Louis but he isn't going to produce any fantasy totals for you.
