Confirmed Trade: [CHI/TBL] Corey Perry to Chicago for a 2024 7th Round Pick

[WarriorofTime]

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

Money and a chance to play most likely

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Chicago is doing a great job. They will sell all these vets to recoup assets at the TDL.

I highly doubt anyone takes Perry at the TDL.

 

[Taswell]

Sign fat one year deal with Chi, get moved to a contender at the deadline. Makes sense to me.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Disagree

 

[gn2007]

To sign him earlier I'm guessing they know they will need a pest to protect Bedard lol

 

[ToDavid]

Chicago is putting together an infinity gauntlet of NHL vets for Bedard to learn from:

Athanasiou: skating
Foligno: defense & leadership
Hall: how to get 1st overall picks
Perry: being a piece of shit

With their powers combined he will dominate the league.

 

[TheBeard]

Sign him for a year, play him with Bedard, watch him get 50 points just being a wingman and then they’ll trade him to a contender for a 2nd.

 

[chaser17]

Does Perry even plan on playing next year? I guess a couple mill could be enticing to him and the wife.

 

[bov]

Always nice to get a free pick, and I like what Chicago is doing by getting some vets in there. Good stint in TB for Perry who still feels he has gas in the tank and might get more offensive opportunity with the Blackhawks.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Disagree

How many 39 year old 4th line wingers go at the TDL?

 

[Naster Okan]

Now Kyle just needs to sign Kessel and my dream will come true.

 

[Eegs]

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

He likes money and hockey?

 

[Matty Sundin]

He’ll be a trade deadline guy unless he completely falls off a cliff this season as a player or hawks are good.

 

[ClydeLee]

I highly doubt anyone takes Perry at the TDL.

Any team that wants to get to the cup final would want him.

 

[Boud]

He likes money and hockey?

Does he like winning?

 

[abo9]

And the Chicago Blackhawks are poised to make the finals next year

 

[Flair Hay]

You have a 100 million dollar asset it Bedard. What's a 7th rounder and at worst a couple mil to have the right veterans to mentor and insulate him while he is still a teenager?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Hawks are guarantied to be in the cup final for as long as they have Perry.

Smart move by Davidson, Bedard goes to the cup final in his rookie year.

Does Perry even plan on playing next year? I guess a couple mill could be enticing to him and the wife.

This will be a side hustle job for Perry.

 

[Flukeshot]

I love how talking 2 days early to 56yr old Corey Perry is worth a 7th while other teams are giving players away.

 

[Eegs]

Does he like winning?

No idea! He played in Montreal recently, so he isn't adverse to losing.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Will he get bought out too

No need assuming he doesn't sign he's a free agent in 2 days

 

[Crunchrulz]

Good deal for both teams as it give Tampa a pick next year and Chicago gets a former Cup Champion with plenty of NHL and International success (like it or not) to help Bedard and Moore to transition to the NHL game. Many forget that veteran leadership helps a young team immensely and Perry has plenty of that to offer the Hawks if he signs. Perry was not in Tampa's plans for this season so this looks to be a win/win for both teams at very little cost.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Clearly Tamp are sellers right now. Chicago should have tried to get the dynamo Pat Maroon too.

 

[Outl4w]

I highly doubt anyone takes Perry at the TDL.

Please don't say that JBB make give up a lot for him.
