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

[Golden_Jet]

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

I think you mean if your American, Creed is an American band.

 

[Zbynek]

Pens could use a guy like him. But Florida makes too much sense.

 

[TheDoldrums]

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

 

[jokesondee]

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

He's also had some "run-ins" with Jets players over the years on the ice. Dont think many players in the Jets locker room think very highly of him.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

He will be a Panther.....

Would be a good add for sure.

 

[leafsfan5]

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.

Not just good, he scored the game winning goal in game 7

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Most teams will have interest

Perry is a player that you can just put in the line up and he works.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Oilers make sense

He probably wants to sign with a contender though

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Bring him to Carolina and let him and Brendan Lemieux play on a line together so we can finish our heel turn.

Elite-level news:

 

[Jeune Poulet]

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.

Very good point! Didn't really consider it from that angle.

Having said that, his statement/apology following his termination leaves little doubt that he had/has issues and I still don't believe the reward would be worth the risk of signing him at this point in time.

 

[yianik]

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

This is the kind of player the Leafs actually could really use.

 

[jellybeans]

By playing for the last place Blackhawks?

He couldn't turn down 4m and i get it but i'm sure if he signs again it will be for a real contender.

 

[HabsAddict]

I actually thought he was a great influence when playing with the Habs. Now not so much.

He's too slow to be of much use to a contender. Plus his current reputation wont help in the locker room.

He's made enough to retire as a king so he should do that and enjoy life.

 

[Reality Czech]

Little wuss can't handle the pressures of playing in an actual hockey market.

If you would rather play in a place with much better weather, much lower taxes and significantly less stress and pressure that means you're weak. You heard it here first folks.

 

[Unspecified]

He will sign in Dallas.....again

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Elite interest from Corey Perry. He will retire a leaf.

 

[Drytoast]

If you would rather play in a place with much better weather, much lower taxes and significantly less stress and pressure that means you're weak. You heard it here first folks.

Yes if you can't handle the pressure of playing in a large hockey market...you are weak

Yes. Absolutely.

Don't bother asking to play for the Olympics that's a huge hockey market there will be a lot of attention on you you might not like how you end up playing and how the country that you're representing feels about your mistakes...

Just go play for your small hockey market where no one really pays attention to you and you can f*** up and not a single person will notice or care.

Enjoy your warm milk

 

[waitin425]

If I'm the Leafs, I try and sign him.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

I think you mean if you’re American, Creed is an American band.

fair enough American band, Canadian Icon

 

[Nevins]

Ideal player for a team that is going to be in the playoff

 

[Sticktape]

Will he go for league minimum or will he make some actual money?

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Will he go for league minimum or will he make some actual money?

He got paid 2 million from Chicago(plus whatever he made for a month)as a signing bonus more then he made his previous two seasons combined

 

[Strangle]

It does mean you’re weak

Toronto will sign Perry and then Bedard will request a trade to the Maple Leafs.

Perry is exactly what the maple leafs need

Yes if you can't handle the pressure of playing in a large hockey market...you are weak

Yes. Absolutely.

You could go to the finals with Tampa and no one will give a shit

Win in Toronto and you’ll have statues built of you, songs will be written and sung about you, they might add your name into the Canadian national anthem

Ya if you can’t handle being that kind of a legend for being successful, you’re weak.

Enjoy your sandals, sissy

Would olympics be higher than the NHL? I only see it being bigger if it was in canada tbh

lots of times it's in countries that don't care about hockey
