Sportsnet: Corey Perry eligible to sign with NHL teams after meeting with Gary Bettman

[The Gr8 Dane]

had a drinky poo with Bettman now he's allllll good

Hey Folks,

Just going to throw this out there. Please do not bring up the so called rumors or jokes about it. The past is the past and has nothing to do with this thread.

Appreciate it.

Thanks.

Pretty sure his off-ice problems are a relevant and valid discussion point. He’s 38. He arguably provides more value as a mentor than as a player at this point

 

[Unbiased Fan]

The leafs can’t afford not to sign him. Even with him I’m not sure they get past round 1

 

[Moon Man]

I just don’t think he is a good fit for the room

He is like a goofball teasing character. A joker. At least from what I remember seeing of him.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Even at 38 I think he count help our bottom 6.

 

[Homesick]

Weird that not one poster has said they absolutely wouldn't want him on the team. I think every fan base wouldn't be upset with him on their team......until he signs with another team that is

 

[Bender]

Home don't trade you.

Edmonton playing beside Draisaitl is the right choice

Yeah, give him the same deal as Connor brown !

 

[Frank Drebin]

I dont see him going to canada.

I could see him cup chasing in Edmonton.

 

[Drytoast]

No shot to canadian team

media is too heavy

I remember Jamie Mclennan describing the media in Florida, or lack thereof and how you have to do like 1/20th of the media sessions as you do in canada

Tell me you are a weak without telling me you are weak.

 

[Leaf Fans]

I dont see him going to canada.

Well there are more American teams so obviously there is a higher chance to go to an American team.

 

[Breakers]

Tell me you are a weak without telling me you are weak.

How is that weak?

 

[Pi]

I hate this asshole but If he didn't do anything illegal or massively wrong, can he be our asshole?

 

[wonton15]

Sign with Vancouver and make this team hated again

Leafs tend to avoid these kind of players for media reasons. He would help the 4th for sure, but maybe as a voice in the locker room most of all. He's always found a way to chip in offensively in the post season, which is what we haven't got from our depth players.

 

[Anders Cain]

I don't think the avs would go after him.. Too slow to be effective with the avs play style I think.

Sign with Vancouver and make this team hated again

Again?

 

[jellybeans]

It's time for Perry to come home. Leafs have cap space with all that LTIR.

But i'm pretty sure he wants to win.

 

[Rubi]

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Edmonton show strong interest in signing Perry. That scum bag would be welcomed there.

 

[WarriorofTime]

I would have thought he’d sit out the rest of the season and put some more distance between whatever happened but I guess at his age he can’t afford to do that.

 

[the valiant effort]

Love it. With more expansion coming this guy can stick around another decade or so

 

[OVO16]

Screams panthers to me. Another rat type of player who's probably gonna score a clutch goal in the playoffs

 

[La Bamba]

From a hockey perspective, he would fit very well on the Oilers

RNH - McD - Hyman
Kane - Drai - Gagner
Foegele - McLeod - Perry
Janmark - Ryan - Brown

 

[The Red Line]

I could see a lot of teams having interest, and he'd most likely come pretty darn cheap after everything that happened this year and with only half a season left.

I wonder if he already has a team or some teams in mind and that's why he requested the meeting if something is close to happening.

It's a pretty interesting scenario where I could see both playoff and non-playoff teams having interest in him. The only team I'm 100% certain he won't sign with is the Hawks.

If Leafs don’t get one or two guys to deal with the likes of Bennett and Cousins cheap shots they will be out in the first round!

He’d do your 2 typical hockey interviews and the country will forget about it
