[Ace Card Bedard]

Why?

 

[Canadienna]

Perry was great for the young guns on the Habs during our finals run. Good pickup if he signs.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Announce Kyle Clifford to LAK

 

[Djp]

Will he get bought out too

 

[Vasilevskiy]

You were a good soldier for us Corey, good luck in Chicago if you play there next season

 

[Petes2424]

They want to overpay him I guess. If he’s chasing a Cup he says no but it’s worth the shot to have him in the room and negotiate.

 

[Boud]

Why would he want to re-sign in Chicago at this point in his career?

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Will he get bought out too

He's a UFA, this is Chicago giving TBL a pick for 2 days in an attempt to get him to sign.

 

[Unspecified]

He is there for Bedard 100%

 

[Hale The Villain]

Will probably overpay him on a 1 year deal and then trade him to a contender at the deadline for a pick, like they did with Foligno

In the meantime Bedard gets to learn from a former elite player and add some veteran leadership to the room.

Could be a smart use of Chicago's insane amount of cap space

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I don't understand why though? Perry was a UFA?

 

[Some Other Flame]

Make sense. Hawks overpay Perry on a 1 year deal so he can teach Bedard the necessary the diving skills to succeed

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Trying to get him for his PP role?

 

[CupInSIX]

Why?

so they can lose in the finals with Bedard

wait that joke don't work no more...

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Why would he want to re-sign in Chicago at this point in his career?

He signed with a Habs team that everyone projected to be shit a few years ago.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

He a future hall of famer

 

[WarriorofTime]

Sending a pick out the door? Rebuild officially over.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Good for Chicago. They want to lift themselves up from being the worst in the league.

There is nothing you can criticise here unless his health is tanking.

 

[Shroud of Orrin]

WTF is going on?

 

[William H Bonney]

I look forward to Perry extending his losing streak.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Perry being a Blackhawk is really the darkest timeline.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Does TB have enough bodies left...? I thought keeping old guys like Perry cheap might have been more important to them...

 

[serp]

That seems wierd ? Why do the Hawks want to sign him that badly before he hits free agency ?
