Perry

[al secord]

He probably had too much to drink one night and acted like a huge @SS towards his teammates and probably said some outlandish stuff.

Don’t really think it was any worse than that.

It's very difficult to terminate an NHL contract.

If I remember correctly was it not a mutual termination?

As in, he would not fight it.

We will never know but maybe he wasn't feeling Chicago and wanted to be out?

 

[Smif]

I get so unbelievably tired about any and all names that hit the market and INSTANTLY they are coming to Toronto.

We don't need Perry. We don't have room for Perry.

WE NEED DEFENSE. FFS. DEFENSE.

Last I checked Perry was not that.

I'm ok with adding Perry for free and spending what assets we have available for defensive help.

DEFENSE?
You talkin about DEFENSE?

I think Perry would be good, specifically on the third line. With the amount of ice time our top 2 gets, this would be ideal.

Likely 9-12 mins a game. Great playoff line that can score some ugly and greasy goals.

You're stretching Perry thin playing him any higher than the 4th line, give him too many minutes and he won't be as effective, similar to Spezza. Less is more. Perry is the first name I would have out there on PP2 though.

I still don't think the organization go near him.

You are ASSUMING that getting Perry means we spend spare assets on defense.

All getting Perry means is that you got Perry. An old, slow forward who is maybe good for a 4th line. BUT he's a name so of COURSE he's gotta come to Toronto!

 

[DarkKnight]

It was just his speculation.

Elliotte Friedman on The Jeff Marek Show: "I wonder about Corey Perry and [the Oilers]...now that the NHL has basically said that 'we're not gonna have an issue with Perry signing anywhere', I kinda wonder if that would be one of the teams."

Thanks for that, the original comment was completely misleading.

One interesting tidbit he did share, he said he heard if it was any other team he wouldn’t have been let go, but Chicago is hyper sensitive after their past issues. So how bad was it really, he was loaded and inappropriate with a staffer by the sounds of it. Learn from it and move on.

Keefe is going to use both Perry and Reaves on the 4th line and I have no interest in that. We need a 4th line that can play, not invite problems.

Perry can play hockey lol, what does Reaves have to do with him?

Mark Hunter still lives in your head rent free, six seasons later, my word.

Not sure what your issue exactly is here. He’s a useful player who could fill a role for us that costs nothing but cash, of course people would have interest. It’s not solely because he’s a name. Your options to improve your team or add elements to your mix, mid season that don’t cost you assets are pretty minimal

 

[LeafChief]

I think a lot of people are forgetting that Perry can still play hockey.

As I already mentioned. Our Third line is getting about 10 mins a game. Perry can play 10 mins.

 

[Stephen]

It’s always a rude reminder whenever he plays Toronto and people realize he’s still annoying and occasionally productive. Why not have that kind of weapon against Matthew Tkachuk? Perry would drive him nuts.

Jarnkrok has no business being on the 4th line.

 

[Commander Clueless]

I'm not a Perry fan but it would be worth signing him just so a divisional rival can't.

I suppose the question to ask is what is the implication on his contract termination being appealed by the NHLPA? Does Chicago just owe him the money, and get charged for the cap, or is he essentially Hawks property and needs to be traded for? Some combination of free agency and settlement with the Hawks?

He and his should not be our focus. He's well past his prime. I'd rather give the kids a chance, as you won't get much value from Perry.

It wouldn't have any effect on the team that signs him to a new contract.

I could be wrong but if it was a mutual termination I believe Perry would give up his remaining salary and the Hawks would be off the hook for the remainder cap wise. Which would make Perry a UFA.

He wanted to be out millions of dollars? I'm thinking no.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Another Perry thread lol. Hate his age but he's an in your face leader. Need that. Am I overthinking this but nobody went after Manson tonight?

 

[bax]

Yes please

It would be nice if someone at least rubbed their smelly mitt in his dumb face
