Good move 4th line was too slow with perry and maroon can’t keep them both

 

[Zwui21]

Free 7th round pick for Perry hitting FA in 2 days, which we don't have interest in bringing back.
Good move

He should now trade Killorn's rights too.

All Murray loves his 7th rounders

Might as well call killorn and say are you signing? If not I’m trading you

 

[Outl4w]

He should now trade Killorn's rights too.

Honestly would not be a bad idea. He could refuse to sign with new team and resign here.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

What is this? They traded 2 days worth of a contract for a draft pick? How is that legal?

Yeah I also dont understand point in this ufa rights

 

[Coopers Gum]

The Hawks are now in control of his contract, so they get the first shot at negotiating. The other teams cannot until the contract expires.

 

[LightningStrikes]

I guess they really want him and can afford sending a 7th the other way. Still surprising given that it’s for 2 days of negotiations with a 38 year old.

 

[Sky04]

Not hard to understand, they have their eyes set on Perry in the locker room and want an advantage in negotiating knowing he'll be sought after.

Davidson has mentioned many times he wants solid vets around Bedard.

Did the league eliminate the legal tampering period one week before free agency?

 

[Felonious Python]

Did the league eliminate the legal tampering period one week before free agency?

Yes.

Why eliminating the UFA negotiation window is a huge win for the players

With no early period to commence contract talks for five to seven days before free agency starts, GMs can't get their ducks in a row in advance. We're set to return to the era of frenzied Day-1 bidding wars.

Good for Perry getting paid lol

 

[LightningStrikes]

$4M? Wow. Sure he brings experience and is still good in front of the goal but the guy can’t skate anymore and was like -28 last season with everyone else in the low minus range or on the plus side.

 

[Todd1a]

Good for Perry getting paid lol

Wow

 

[Felonious Python]

4 million is clearly too much, but that was probably his price to play for a team that isn't going to win the cup.

My thoughts exactly. Pretty hard to turn that offer down at his age

 

[Sky04]

They wanted Perry and can afford an overpay, no denying he's a good locker room guy.

 

[Stammertime91]

Good for him. What a run of missed opportunities for him the last few years but at least he won a cup, got some trophies and is still raking in the cash.

 

[Todd1a]

Good for the hawks perry gets paid and you know for sure they will trade him to a contender at the trade deadline

 

[DFC]

Good for Perry.

He'll be on a contender come playoff time, and Chicago will get more than a 7th

 

[LTIR Trickery]

What is this? They traded 2 days worth of a contract for a draft pick? How is that legal?

It happens every year?

Yeup. Smart move by them. Corey wasn't going to get offers at that price during FA either. They've probably told him/have a handshake agreement: take the money and come TDL we'll deal you
