I imagine he retires after this. He's had a great run.

0 cups is 0 cups. Some will be proud but I couldn't care less. Cup or bust.
He has a Cup

What would be worse, losing in the first round again or making it all the way to the cup finals and losing in game 7 in a 1 goal game?
Have you watched the Leafs over the past 8 yrs? If Perry could get them to the Eastern final I think would a phenomenal achievement for this core.

I hate his face so nah

I've noticed that most of the players/pest i've hated growing up all became a Montreal Canadian at some point.

ALex Burrows. Max Lapierre, Corey Perry, etc...

Why would Perry want to sign here.

He wants to play on a real contender. That's not the Toronto Maple Leafs. I'm sick of them bringing in all these washed up vets like Perry anyway.

It worked so well with Marleau, Thornton, Spezza, and Giordano.

At some point the plan shifted from youth movement to senior's gathering. A result of the Leafs well thought out cap structure. Left hoping to catch lightning in a bottle with declining vets whose stats are lowering.

Grasping for bygone glory.

Tying the dead corpse of the past mouth-to-mouth with the living present. Praying someone with a recognizable name will pay off if they throw money at him. Rewarded for achievements on teams not named the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Just sign on the dotted line and sail into retirement as you stink up the ice.

The problem is, we seem to end up acquiring this type when they're starting to wear down and have already won the big prize.

We need to find the next Bennett, someone that is currently undervalued and hungry.
That’s really the key.
A Bennett, Pesce, Wilson, whatever before they have miles and ready to make bigger dollars.

Also true. How about a hungry one and one with experience?
