Confirmed Signing with Link: [DAL] Corey Perry signs with the Stars (1 year, $1.5M)

[Starry Knight]

Let me guess because I’m incredibly smart- this would be a great move if he signed with the Leafs. Right?

A 2 hour commute from London everyday to play hockey in Toronto would make total sense. Who doesn't want to spend their days sitting in the worst traffic in Canada to get to the rink.

I henceforth dub this the molasses line.

If this were 4-5 years ago that could be one of the best lines in the league.

 

[Hostile Offer]

3rd line role player at best, most likely 4th line (if this rumor becomes reality)
give him 6-8 5 on 5 minutes, 3-4 PP minutes a game, could give Dallas 10-15 goals, 20-25 points in 60-70 games.

This (possible) signing makes zero sense.

That kind of production would be well worth $1.5M

 

[LightningStrikes]

Lightning could not match that?

 

[JabbaJabba]

(super) High risk, Zero reward.

Why is the risk supposedly so high? It's a one year deal for 1,5 million (plus some bonuses). It is literally the opposite of high risk. I guess you are just a hater.

 

[Muuri]

I think there are performance related bonus' involved here, would bring up the cap hit.

I'm guessing around 3 million then?

 

[badboy1994]

Lightning could not match that?

Lightning matched it, he preferred dallas.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Lol. DAL trying to bring up a bunch of ex stars to shore things up.

Technically, they are just becoming Stars right now...I'll get my coat.

 

[Hobnobs]

And will be 35 in two weeks. Ask Toronto how things went with Marleau.

Marleau signed as a 37 year old who had scored 27 goals. His first year in Leafs he scored 27 goals as a 38 year old...

 

[Iceman]

Perry loves Jamie Benn, good buds since the Olympics.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Good luck Stars. Maybe there will be a miracle and Perry doesn't suck

 

[Johno]

Good luck Stars. Maybe there will be a miracle and Perry doesn't suck

At $1.5mil he can suck as bad as he wants. We've lived through some doozies that were paid 3-4 times that.

Source?

 

[glovesave_35]

And will be 35 in two weeks. Ask Toronto how things went with Marleau.

Marleau was going to play his 38 year old season and coming off a 27 goal 46 point season. Pavelski is going to be 35 and is coming off a 38 goal season, and a string of 60+ point seasons dating back to 2013.

 

[Dave Karp]

Jamie Benn has ball tickled many people. Cross checked that Edmonton guy when he was completely defenseless.

Roussel constantly crossed the line.

But.. since those guys are on your team its all fine and dandy and you love them.

No, I actually never liked Roussel. I’m not a fan of the agitators, usually.

Benn has done some dirty things, absolutely. But he’s not really known for his stick work, which is exactly what I don’t like about Perry.

 

[Rometiklan]

I like this signing for the Stars. Low risk. I think Perry still has something left in the tank. At the very least, he'll give the Stars some depth.

 

[Sharabhi]

Apparently an additional 1.75 in bonuses as well.

 

[terranraida]

Big sad Perry is going to the stars, but I am glad he's hanging out with Cogs at least.

 

[MMC]

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

He is replacing $3M for 0 goals Val Nuchushkin, who was scratched as often as Perry will probably be injured, so it can't help but be anything but an upgrade for the Stars. Or, he replaces Ritchie's' "grit" for about the same price.

Not really exciting, but just slightly possible that his experience is a difference maker, if not, no loss.

 

[serp]

 

[Bob Munden]

I really like it. He can't be worse than Nichuskin in any way

 

[MrHeiskanen]

 

[DFC]

Probably gonna wind up the best signing, or at least the best $ to production ratio.

 

[IDuck]

good for dallas....going to be weird seeing that team this year though
