Confirmed Signing with Link: [TBL] Corey Perry signs with the Lightning (2 years, $1M AAV)

[Bourne Endeavor]

Perry, no! If it's for something like 1.5M, I'm gonna be salty we didn't just give him the extra year.

 

[Steveshutt]

Have to think wives are going to be pushing husbands out of Montreal. The long-term consequences of the team's misogyny will be significant.

 

[nhlfan9191]

i mean, saying he wants to come back and wanting to come back is two different thing.

Blaming Perry here.

He really didn’t owe us anything. Took a league minimum contract and was the best player on the ice most nights last season. It sucks but what can ya do.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Great player even at this age. The best guy the Habs have had in front of the net since Kirk Muller. Fully understand and respect his decision to go to Tampa. It gives us the certainty that Tampa will lose in the SCF

[Vukotal Recall]

Thank god I don't have to root for this amazing a-hole anymore.

 

[CupInSIX]

Landeskog?

Some scrub AHLer the Sharks kept calling up to try and fight Reaves. He got himself suspended in warmups.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

That Tampa 4th line is crazy:

Maroon - Pierre - Perry

Ultra speed mode activated!

 

[Agalloch]

No way MTL couldn't give him this. I think we're up to something.

 

[Zwui21]

 

[T REX]

Based on historical trends, he should hope Tampa doesn't face Montreal in the finals again.

Impossible

 

[weastern bias]

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Gets .5m less per year than the guy who scored 1 goal last year that signed yesterday. Good signing.

 

[llamateizer]

He's going to sabotage the threepeat

Lmao we get it they drafted the guy that shouldn't have been drafted at all, but this is getting ridiculous

 

[missingchicklet]

$1 million a year for an experienced playoff impact player with tons of sandpaper. Bargain. Doubt he would do that contract many places but he clearly wants another good shot at a Cup. Smart as hell move by TB.

 

[DaBolts]

 

[goforit]

At least our team doesn't employ sexual predators

Well, only god (and potential predators themselves) knows that.

 

[Zwui21]

Bolts PP1 gonna be insane with Perry in front of the net

 

[Volodya Krutov]

I knew it from the handshake line. Kucherov recruiting Perry 100% confirmed and the Final is barely over. This kid is relentless.

Watch around 2:16. Kucherov is telling Perry, come on join us. and Perry answers "we'll talk about that"

 

[Phion Keneuf]

If you can’t beat them… join them?

Blaming Perry here.

We lost Weber and Danault so that might have been a factor that affected his decision.

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

Third time's the charm. Just ask Marian Hossa.

Wasn't he on the cup winning team in Anaheim?

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Wasn't he on the cup winning team in Anaheim?

Yeah. The similarities with Hossa are losing back-to-back finals with different teams, and then moving on to a third team. Hossa also signed with a team that beat him (Detroit) but lost.
