LeBrun: Mutual interest between Predators and Corey Perry. Blackhawks also interested

[Soundgarden]

When was the last time fans booed one of their own players every time he touched the puck?

 

[Runner77]

Any truth to this?

 

[TT1]

Nashville has to save us from Perry and Duchene.

nah, you can have them.

Ring chasing on a cheap short deal to Nashville... I could def see it happen.

Cup chasing. This isn't the NBA. Nobody does this for a "ring." They do it to win the cup and have their name etched on it for all eternity. The ring is totally secondary and the majority of players couldn't care less about a ring.

 

[FeatherHead]

And that's fine if any other team wants his services.

However Chicago has wasted 4 years since winning the cup with lackluster trades, signings all while becoming older , slower , less skillfully and defensively atrocious.

If Chicago is going to invest in any UFA I'd like to see
Anders Lee
Joe Thorton
Matt Duchene
PANARIN

Perry reminds everyone in Chicago of last years off season Kunitz , manning and Davidson

If we got Panarin or Duchene...I’d have some serious high hopes for this team next year. Anders Lee would be decent too. Truthfully tho, our season hinges on defense and goaltending and I’m enthused by neither.

Actually I'm more comfortable now with Chicago's defense. Maatta and De HAAN are solid pick ups and looking at what Chicago gave up in order to accomplish that was a huge plus.

Anismov, Gus, and saad are all expendable.
Even if Stan gains more cap relief in doing so it allows him to bring in certain role players.

Lee would be a upgrade over saad.

Duchene and panarin are not worth screwing up the teams cap future for 1 huge signing.

I do believe Dach will make the team and that gives Chicago more depth

I sure as hell hope Dach makes the team out of camp. This team's center depth is nothing to write home about.

And while Saad, Gus, and Anisimov are indeed expendable, who are you going to find to dump them on? Saad and Anisimov are on atrocious contracts.

 

[2Pair]

Any truth to this?

Half the league would be willing to give Perry a shot if the cost was only 1 year and under $3M.

Saad and anismov contracts are actually easy to unload , their tradeable to any team so Stan isn't tied down in that respect.

Both have 2 years left on cheap affordable contracts .

Ottowa would be a start they need to reach the floor , even if it's draft picks that's okay.

But looking at free agency the cost to sign someone is just ridiculous. So saad would be a cost effective solid move for a team looking for scoring on a cheap contract.

 

[expy]

Can they land both Duchene and Perry? I'm sure they'd have to choose one.

 

[CupInSIX]

How much do you think Perry is going to cost? He could be a 4th line PP specialist at this stage.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

yes, but he only opened his interview to 4-5 teams, which the Habs are in

not without moving shaw+alzner

 

[2Pair]

Yeah, I'm sure a guy that just had his contract bought out is going to screen his phone calls

 

[Phil120362]

I'm not really that impressed with him athough I haven't watched a lot of games this season. Does he still have gas in the tank?

prolly E 85,cheaper? Yes....but not as powerful,but maybe you won't have to pay a "premium"....lol

 

[Taylorst]

Id say 1 year at 2 million max. I'm guessing it comes down to which team he would have the best chance of playing with players who can elevate his game and stock.

Playing alongside toews and Kane is a pretty sweet option to think about.

Nashville doesn't have those types of players and Nashville IMO isn't going to be a dominant team this year. That window is gone

 

[GoldenSeal]

I'm a Blues fan, we already got our cup lol.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Perry isn’t hurting for money at this point, and is still getting more than a lot of players get in their entire careers over the next two years even if he never comes near an ice surface. He’s screening his phone calls.

 

[GaryU]

As of another reason to hate the Hawks is needed

As though the Wings are relevant.

Please explains how our window is gone in Nashville?

 

[Djp]

Perry to Nashville is strange. Perry and getzlaff has a level of hate from playoff series losses.

Nashville got rolled in the first round last year and just traded away subban. Nashville isn't a dynasty team or organization, how many cups or western conference finals has Nashville won?

Nashville had it's chance and I wouldn't expect them to be anything more than a 500 club .

Ok, but our entire core aside from Rinne is in their early-late 20's.

You do realize Subban wasn't our best player right? Like Ekholm and Josi are better than him and Johansen, Arvidsson and Forsberg are more important to our team.

Nobody's claiming they're a dynasty, we're just saying that our window isn't closed.

You think we're going to be only a .500 club? Really?
