LOL what.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Hall, Foligno and Perry? We’d be sick in 2016

 

[ColbyChaos]

Why tho

 

[Mrfenn92]

Love it
There’s a vet!

 

[Kevin Musto]

We buying him out too?

 

[Wally1112pac]

Does he have a contract?

 

[bwanajamba]

Needed a guy to mentor Bedard on how to be a horrible little bastard

 

[CallMeShaft]

Why help Tampa? Don't we want them to fail?

Edit: okay, so apparently he's becoming a free agent in a few days and we're just trying to negotiate with him early, and not helping Tampa any.

That's fine then.

 

[clydesdale line]

Perry would be outstanding for a guy like Savoie to learn from. But man he's slow.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Why help Tampa? Don't we want them to fail?

Isn’t Perry on min. league deal? This probably doesn’t help or hurt either way

 

[hawksrule]

Corey Perry’s still playing?

 

[Wally1112pac]

Why help Tampa? Don't we want them to fail?

Perry is still a decent vet and will probably be replaced by a rookie.

I'd say we made them slightly worse.

 

[Idionym]

He’s a pending UFA, so we traded a 7th for a couple extra days to negotiate with him?

Touché, couldn't tell you his aav right now, but if it's under a million, it ain't bad.

 

[26Mats]

Why tho

leadership for the young guys and TDL trade bait...

 

[Wally1112pac]

He’s a pending UFA, so we traded a 7th for a couple extra days to negotiate with him?

Indeed.

I'm sure he will be signed and over paid like Foligno.

1 year 2 mil or something like that.

Flipped at the deadline for a 5th.

 

[26Mats]

He’s a pending UFA, so we traded a 7th for a couple extra days to negotiate with him?

why would Perry sign in Chicago?

I suppose they'll offer him more money than contenders who are up against the cap, and then trade him to a contender at the TDL. But I would think Perry would rather just start the year with a contender, like Toronto.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Lol what?

 

[piteus]

No joke threads please ...

 

[shakes the clown]

Love it, keep bringing in steady vets to mentor the kids.

 

[ReLyT]

Perry and Bailey have the same agent?

 

[Kevin Musto]

Why help Tampa? Don't we want them to fail?

Kyle felt like he had to do them a solid for Oliver Moore

Corey Perry's agency is Newport ... the same as Josh Bailey who will be bought out.

There's always an inside story to every transaction. Agents and teams working together.

* Hawks recievd 2nd round pick for taking Josh Bailey contract.
* As a favor to Josh Bailey's agent, they buy him out.
* The Hawks trade for Corey Perry's rights for a 7th.
* The agent allows Perry to extend with the Hawks.
* The Hawks retain and trade Perry to a contender which should fetch a decent return?

That would be weaponizing our cap space while helping an agency with a very very strong client list with the future in mind.

Just a thought.
