Corey Perry's hockey career fate has been been confirmed

Taking a look at his production this past year, Perry has earned himself a nice pay day in free agency this summer, as he's an unrestricted free agent.

Perry is a UFA, and the Oilers must act fast to secure a contract before teams begin calling him when free agency opens on July 1st.

According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, the veteran has made his thoughts clear, and he wants to stay with the Oilers.

His role was big in the Stanley Cup Final series due to Zach Hyman's injury.

Even with Hyman in the lineup, Perry still found himself in the top six once the playoffs came around.

In 22 playoff games he put up 10 goals and 14 points in 22 playoff games, in what was his fifth Stanley Cup Finals appearance throughout the past six years.

Many believe Perry's aging has been noticeably showing through his slow foot speed, but that has always been his weaker attribute throughout his career. He has been with Edmonton now for two straight seasons and seems to find deepened playoff success wherever he goes, but the job hasn't been finished since his last Stanley Cup win in 2007 with the Anaheim Ducks.
