David Perron shares his insight on the Mitch Marner, Craig Berube meeting

That includes David Perron, who won the 2019 Stanley Cup with the St. Louis Blues under Berube.

On the May. 29th edition of Leafs morning take, the pending UFA forward was optimistic about what Toronto's new head coach can bring to the team, affirming that there's no way that the meeting between Berube and Marner wasn't a positive one.

The 36-year-old winger is coming off a 47 point season in Detroit. His production is a step back from previous years, and his cap hit of $4.75 million is guaranteed to come down.

Perron fully believes that Berube got the best out of him in St. Louis. A return to the Red Wings seems unlikely, and it could make sense for the Leafs to target the forward on a low-risk one-year deal. Given Perron's views on Berube, the Leafs may even be a frontrunner to land the Stanley Cup champion.
