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

[KingsHockey24]

Dubois can irritate Kings fans and Perry can irritate the opposition's fans. Everyone is pissed off

Nah at this point we know PLD is just out there to do some cardio and that's about it.

 

[pld459666]

NYR, get'er dunn

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Come to Colorado, mostly because I’ve always had a soft spot for him.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He can't skate anymore but he's a very intelligent offensive player and he still has his hands. If he's not being a drunken ass he can help a team.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Does anyone know what Corey did?

God does. Corey knows. Blackhawks know, Bettman knows. His agent knows. NHLPA knows.

I don't know and we're not allowed to speculate, it's one of those things.

But that's a lot of privacy for a guy who had his contract terminated by the Blackhawks............

 

[mkatcherin00]

Corey Perry to Edmonton at league minimum.
Connor Brown to AHL.

Everyone wins! (Well, Edmonton wins)

Come full circle. Perry was supposed to be an Oiler in the Comrie trade until Lowe called back and asked for his bonuses back lol

 

[M Ace]

Altho I agree with signing him, Brown has made a big difference on the PK so it would be better to find a way to keep Brown on the team.

Must be better sending Erne packing....

 

[trellaine201]

He’s a twit. No thanks on the Leafs.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

I'm gonna laugh if he ends up on a contender and wins a Cup

[Man Bear Pig]

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

He's apparently wanted to sign in Toronto for years but the Leafs never wanted him. Bizarre.

 

[LuLover96]

For the Canucks fans saying we want him, I don’t disagree with you but where does he fit? He’d be perfect net-front on pp2 but who comes out of the lineup and waived/sent down for cap reasons?

Petey - Miller - Boeser
Mikheyev - Suter - Kuzmenko
Joshua - Blueger - Garland
Hoglander - Aman - Lafferty

Immediately it looks like it would be Aman sent down and Lafferty playing centre with Perry on the right, but that means JT Miller likely has to go back to playing pk3 minutes again and I’m not convinced that’s the best idea for a team pk already in the mid-20’s in the league. If you don’t do that and instead take out Hog or Lafferty, you end up losing either of them on waivers because of the cap situation. Besides, what’s that say to the rest of the group given both guys are on pace for 16-20 goals?

 

[ManofSteel55]

Why would you waive Connor Brown? What benefit does that have?

Well he isn't producing and we would need cap space for Perry. Someone has to go down.

 

[belair]

Well he isn't producing and we would need cap space for Perry. Someone has to go down.

He's one of our best PK forwards. Brown would easily be claimed.

There are three forwards I'd waive before Brown considering he only makes league minimum.

 

[General Fanager]

It really is strange. He seems to be the exact kind of guy they needed in their bottom 6.....

 

[Jeune Poulet]

First of all, if the Blackhawks, of all teams, kick you out so fast after signing you to a lucrative deal, you have major issues.

Secondly, and this is very important, if you go on hiatus to "fix your self-avowed problems", you're not going to be ready to jump back into the same high-pressure competitive environment in 7 weeks.

It simply doesn't work like that.

Considering the above, and adding the fact he is an extremely slow, old and declining player, I just don't see any upside for a team to pick him up.

The Blackhawks are still in PR hell. You could swear from stubbing your toe and they might kick you out right now

 

[TheNumber4]

So you can cancel contracts in this league for “Reasons Unknown”. Even if those reasons don’t warrant you not being allowed to play in this League per the Commissioner.

Sharks did something similar with Kane, when they were allowed to cancel his contract and cap hit for Covid issues. An independent arbitrator ruled the Sharks were in the wrong and are now topping up Kane’s earnings. But still, the Sharks got away with getting rid of the cap hit.

Teams with bad contracts should start using these special strategies.

Just another reason too hate N.Y..............haha

In fairness, Blackhawks are also one of the first teams that need to prevent future damage to their organization. So while you might be right regarding having major issues, it could also be Blackhawks being more Strick than you would normally see, and wanting to prevent more negativity.

 

[Lahey]

The best part of this.. He was willing to sign with us, and Dubas picked Simmonds over him.. 6 months later Perry helps the Habs eliminate us, and he was good in that series.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

We shall see what happens but according to TSN radio there is mutual interest between the Leafs and Corey Perry.

It was by Carlo Coliacavo on First Up

 

[Nogatco Rd]

I would welcome him with open arms to the Canucks

I believe if you are Canadian the correct phrase is “with arms wide open”

Was settled before arbitration, between Sharks and Kane.

Evander Kane, Sharks settle contract grievance

The San Jose Sharks and former forward Evander Kane have settled a grievance over his contract termination last season before the matter would have gone to arbitration.

That's a f***ing awful song, not an Canadian phrase.

No, Creed is an American band from Florida. It’s with open arms, and I dare say an open heart.
