Maybe Kane and Perry will be best friends like the dudes in mighty ducks

Does Comrie have to pay back his signing bonus?

Asking for a friend.

Thanks for asking, Kevin!

That line desperately needs Jeff Carter!

Too bad we can't use all that salt coming from CP on our roads today.

Need to steal their Goalman in the offseason.

Adding another guy who knows how to win in the playoffs in Perry I think is fantastic. He's great at getting under the skin of the opponent, suckering them into taking penalties and throwing them off their game. Love that he's now on the team.

I've wanted Perry on the team for years. I think Lowe came pretty close to trading for him during the Comrie fiasco ago, if I'm not mistaken. Always thought it was a shame that didn't go through.

He's 38 now, but his stats have been up and down the last couple of years. He scored 40 points only two seasons ago and was more than 0.5 points per game this year. So that's Foegele/McLeod numbers. Would be fantastic if he could continue the trend here.

HAHA Perry said he was almost an Oiler 20 years ago from that botched Comrie trade.

Lowe's greed probably saved his career.

 

[tiger_80]

My guess is Gagner, Holloway or Janmark.

Hard decision because all three bring something valuable.

So Erne and Hamblin are off to the minors, and Perry is the 13th forward as of today?

 

[Garbo Man]

Perry better get used to reviews going against him now that he is on the other side

"What am i gonna tell Corey?"
"Tell him he picked the wrong team"

I believe so, yes.

 

[tiger_80]

I believe so, yes.

That's pretty good if your 4th line is Perry-Holloway-Janmark.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Those were some of the worst questions ever at that press conference lol

 

[jukon]

Okay. Who else has little kids who are McDavid fans? Toews? Come on down!

CP is taking it well also lol

Had to take a look, holy cow are they riled up. Didn't think such a small addition would set them off.

A lot of joy in that thread.....

 

[Da McBomb]

Good thing Perry didn't decide to sign last week during the -40 cold spell. He could have gotten off the plane and got right back on and headed to Florida lol

I couldn’t have done it without a guy I know who knows a thing or two about winning.

Adam Erne likely hits the AHL once again. It is kind of a toss up as to who sits - Brown is useless offensively, but has been great for our PK. Gagner always seems to play well. Holloway won't sit, but he could be sent back down.

Excellent add! This is literally the dictionary definition of 'proven successful playoff performer' that teams strive to add. Love it! Finally a Oiler

Wanted to mention this lately in other threads - How great would it have been to have obtained Brown for league min as a 4th line shutdown / pk player?

CP hand wringing about our "classless" org is funny considering the skeletons the Flames have in their closet.

Todd Bertuzzi
Dennis Wideman
Bill Peters
Milan Lucic

Don't hate the player, hate the game

Ok, it this an appropriate time to say I have two wolves inside me: one barfing and one roaring?

p.s. I am even embarrassed to use that meme. Look what you have done to me, Corey Perry!

The question I have about the flames is what exactly it is about their environment that causes people to have mental health breakdowns so frequently.

Like it's a pretty low pressure environment all things considered... A little bizarre how they have more of that than pretty much the entire rest of the league combined. Something else wacky is going on to make it so hostile that people just straight up losing their mental.

Or as some call him - Roar-y Perry.

as an oiler fan who lives in calgary i will fully admit that after hockey late at night on the drive home i always check to see if the flames lost and if they did i listen to the local call in show and let me tell you, as an oilers fan listening to the despair and madness makes me laugh every time. and its not just this year ive been doing it for a decade and a half at least

 

[RegDunlop]

Idk man. I think Holland should get some credit for always pouncing on these situations. Even going back to Detroit - I used to think "man it's so nice that all these players fall into Detroit's lap, must be nice..."

But honestly... 5 to 10 teams wanted Kane. 5 to 10 teams wanted Perry. They came here.

Holland deserves some flak, but I think he deserves some credit too.

Yeah I agree even though I'm still not a fan of Kenny.

I think back of when the kerfuffle started in Chi town, how I/ we / most of us posters were thinking how awesome it would be if we could somehow get him. And in the next thought, how unlikely that would be since if the situation wasn't too bad, many teams would be after him. I'm very happy!

Well done KH

sometimes when you go on a road trip and spend time in all the visitor dressing rooms and then you come back to the saddledome and realize its a dump compared to every other area you tend to spiral downward. like imagine you are on a work trip and you rent a hyundai elantra for 2 weeks then you get home and have to ride your moped....but the battery is also dead

 

[Fourier]

we set a precedent, now every agent will be demanding the Ken Holland special. If its good enough for Mr.700 days without a goal it must be good enough for Corey Perry

That 10 game threshold is not Holland's invention. It has been used quite a few times in the last few years. It's just a wait to exploit the cap loophole.
