Confirmed Signing with Link: [EDM] F Corey Perry signs with the Oilers (1 year, $775k + performance bonuses)

[Connor McConnor]

good depth but like the leafs, all offense and still avg defense and goalie.
We seen it yr after yr. Until they significantly upgrade, its likely a 1st rd exit for oilers vs Avs, canucks, or vegas

The Canucks have won one playoff series in like 10 years. If they want to continue getting outshot and outplayed for significant portions of games, we will see if Demko can hold. Avs and Dallas truly scare me.

Have you been in a cave for 2 months?

you talking about that win streak
cool good for them. playoffs is different. Id take Avs canucks vegas in 7 game series unless they upgrade their defense and goalie. its even a toss up vs jets and dallas

 

[PuckG]

Hearing that Perry has been involved in an inappropriate incident on Whyte Ave., has apologized through his agent, and will take a leave of absence from the team.

Nothing for Scorey Perry to worry about. That’s what Whyte Ave is for.

I am talking about the last 2 months of the season where they are top 5 in GA/G. Tops in shot supression and least HDC given up. You know anything related to D...lol

Are you talking about the first 12 games under a different coach because it suits your narrative?

 

[FerrisRox]

Not sure how I feel about this since I hate Perry with a passion but he would be a great addition to the bottom 6

You should feel very happy about this. He's an outstanding addition to your roster and he does something that nobody else on your team does, so he's someone that undoubtably makes the Oilers more difficult to play against.

Maybe they tried, and failed, but it's frankly astonishing to me that the Toronto Maple Leafs didn't go out and get him. Their locker room, and their lineup, desperately needs a player like him.

cool good for them. thats still a no they aint beating teams I mentioned in 7 game series with that defense and goalie in the playoffs

But you seem to just like regular season stats. Wait til playoffs if they dont upgrade significantly

 

[Bouboumaster]

Scorey Perry is a beauty

They upgraded their system which is often better than upgrading the individuals. And this was a free add with no assets loss. Oilers will still upgrade some more.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Least surprising destination for him

Oilers is where to go for redemption.
Welcome Corey!

 

[Patch101]

omg yes we needed some sandpaper, and he can still play.
Great add, pushes Brown down the lineup, and Erne out.
Cost zero assets. Like it.

To be honest I thought Florida was a shoe in, they're adopting as many pricks as possible lol

I think Toronto was one of the reported final teams, them spiraling down while Edmonton is winning is probably a factor

21-3 the last 24 games man. It isn’t just a streak.

 

[Donuts]

If they do significant upgrade, then great I will take them as serious contenders. If they stand pat, then no they wont go all the way

 

[Buttsy]

Great pickup if used correctly could be a big addition down the stretch. I'm not a huge fan of his game BUT all the guy does is WIN. The dressing room has to be the right fit, not sure the Leafs and him would have worked out well?

 

[Jared Dunn]

I am honestly kind of surprised that he has even considered the media circuses in Toronto or Edmonton, I thought he'd go Dallas or Florida where he faces 1/10th of the reporters

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Who comes out though? Again, I love the forward group... I don't want to see any combo of Gagner, Ryan or Janmark eating nachos. Even Brown is great at the PK and has a role.

Although the team's pretty healthy at the moment, we all know that can change in a minute,

As much as I love Samwise and want to see Lavoie get a proper shot, Perry is an upgrade on those two. He'd also be the 2nd best net front presence they have, and gives some insurance if something happens to Hyman.

 

[La Bamba]

RNH - McDavid - Hyman
Kane - Drai - Foegele
Janmark - McLeod - Perry
Gagner - Holloway - Brown/Ryan

slick

Erne is probably the one that is not that stoke about the situation.

He survived Montreal. If he can get through that, he'll be fine in any fishbowl.

 

[Gustave]

I've never appreciated a one year passage more on the Habs than Perry's stint in MTL. You'll love him, he's an absolute warrior that can still play.

All the dirtbags are belong to them

Welcome to Edmonton Perry!
