Confirmed with Link: Blackhawks acquire Corey Perry for a 2024 7th Round Pick

[Toews2Bickell]

forgot that Perry played for Richardson in Montreal, probably the main thing here

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

This is fine. I don't see why it would be worth getting upset over. Guy sucks when you're playing against him. Won't matter when he's on the ice for us. And perhaps gets an asset at the deadline.

It's hard for me to imagine being upset about losing a 7th round draft pick.

Yeah but we could've drafted the next Janne Peltonen!

 

[BobbyJet]

My hot take: the Hawks extend Perry ... retain and trade Perry to a contender for assets.

Both Perry and Bailey's (who will be bought out) agency is Newport. It appears the Blackhawks and Newport are helping each other out ... the Blackhawks receiving future assets and Newport getting their players to their preferred choice. Of course, Perry might also want to be in Chicago. Who knows?

wrong thread

 

[clydesdale line]

Could have bonded with Luke in Montreal and eventually join coaching staff?

Good call. Forgot he was with the Habs briefly.

Think I saw a quote Richardson liked how he helped out the youth in Montreal. Solid guy, teach some of the pest behavior you need.

 

[Mrfenn92]

This is a great move for the hawks.

 

[Pez68]

Corey Perry???

 

[Styles]

He’s an asshole but he’s our asshole now.

Im not going to look it up and have no idea how to but how many 7th round picks are in the NHL? And out of the ones who are, how many are marginally useful? Giving up a 7th round pick is the equivalent of used toilet paper, I just don’t like Perry and never have. Perry is used toilet paper but I guarantee he won’t be the worst player on this roster if they keep him.

Love this trade. Been a Perry fan since he was a London Knight and I helped run is golf tournament in London from 2005-2012.

 

[Jagged Ice]

Why tho

Because he always goes to teams where he thinks he can get another cup. You guys are up with Bedard now.

 

[thedarkstark]

We now have TWO Hart Trophy winners on the roster... We sure we don't want to bring back Kane and form a Hartbreaker line?

 

[ozzzie19]

It’ll be good to have guys who aren’t afraid to go to the front of the net and create havoc. What struck me in watching the Bedard supercuts is how often his goals are from firing the puck in the 3 open inches through screens. While his shot is amazing on its own and his release and accuracy are second to none (ok, maybe second to one), he’s been playing against children. NHL goalies are much bigger and while he’s certainly going to snipe his fair share of unobstructed shots, more often than not, he’s going to have to find the open slot through screens. Perry will help with that and set a good example for all the non-super stars on how to impact the game. THAT will have an important impact on how successful Bedard will be.

The vast majority of 7th round picks don't even play a single game in the NHL. Take 2016 for example. I use that year because all of those players are now 25 or older which is pretty much the age that a guy is going to be a full-time NHL player, or he's not. Only 4 players from the 7th round that year have played in the NHL. And combined those 4 have played 70 total games.

To take it a step further the only players that I would consider pretty good that were drafted in the 7th round since 2010 are Freddy Anderson, Ondřej Palát, MacKenzie Weegar, and Victor Olofsson. And I don't think any of those players are going into the HOF.

I'm strictly judging this draft on Bedard, Moore, Kantserov, Gojan, and Misiak. Anyone else who becomes a legitimate prospect is a bonus.

[Hattrick Kane]

I can skate forwards, I would also like 4 million please

 

[Wally1112pac]

I'm sure it will be around 1 year, 2 to 2.5 mil or so

That would be double what he made last season.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

They should sign Kane as a UFA at this point.

I mean, it always should have been part of the plan to bring him back
