Confirmed Signing with Link: [EDM] F Corey Perry signs extension with the Oilers (1 year, $1.4M)

[Lukin1978]

Well there it is losing in the finals again the curse will continue

 

[Bizzare]

1M for the player.

400K for the intangibles.

I like it. He's slow as f***, not great defensively, but still has good hands, hockey IQ, and a head for gamesmanship which is needed for the playoffs.

Obviously he was well liked in the room and valued, which is why he's being brought back.

Could barely get in the lineup in the playoffs this year. Another year later isn’t going to help.

At his age he shouldn't see all games anyways. He's a specialist at this point. Another option for the coaches that can be used in specific situations.

 

[Bowski]

Modern day Oilers culture personified. Could not find much better at that price.

 

[Norwegianoiler]

I'd rather spend the money on Janmark, and I do think Perry's done in terms of speed and all-round play, but man people are zooming in hard when they can only see SCF losses. How many players on any team can say they've played as many playoff games? How far have these players come? Zoom out a bit and see that Perry's won far more playoff games than most of your favorite players combined. Now, that's not all his credit, but hell, neither are the losses.

'Cause if at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again

I love that they don't fear the curse!

 

[Bizzare]

Waste of a contract spot and a bit of cap space

Not a waste if he brings value. Which he does.

Here's hoping the "Perry Curse" continues for at least one more year...

 

[jetsforever]

Seems ok for both

 

[GoldenKnight]

Perry will likely retire as the player with the most playoff games played in his generation, for what that's worth.

 

[T-Funk]

You want the Oilers to make the finals again? I would think you'd want Vancouver to make it...

 

[FrozenKing18]

Nobody has tried it twice

Nah, just insurance in case they do make it....

 

[tabness]

just make sure he not there at any Oilers mom events

 

[Macheteops]

What does he... exactly provide at this point? Veteran presence? He had 1 goal in the playoffs. Are we hoping for a bounce back season?

Leadership I guess. It’s not something us fans can evaluate and put a price on. We have no idea how it impacts others behind the scenes

He’s decent around the net. Makes a few deceptive plays. Besides that he is pretty much cooked

I would of much preferred other options but here we are

 

[Cup or Bust]

I would not have re-signed him. but he is okay to move in and out of the lineup as needed and the Oilers need cheap NHL players.

 

[Telos]

Well, this sets up the Vegas betting nicely. Oilers lose in the finals again, just have to guess the right team against. It is now written in the stars.

 

[Duke749]

I actually think he’s overpaid. But it’s a low amount so no worries.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

I'm surprised. He looked done to me.

 

[Stammertime91]

Corey is meme'd so hard we are all instantly here for the obvious.

 

[Unspecified]

I guess Bedards mom wish came true

 

[Slapshot_11]

thought he looked finished but I guess not
