Free agent forward Corey Perry officially saves NHL career with signing
The Edmonton Oilers made a bargain signing, as Corey Perry, the worm lives to see another day in the NHL.
It was announced today that Jeff Jackson and the Oilers had inked a deal with depth forward, Corey Perry.
He was given another contract by the Edmonton Oilers, who signed the "worm" for 1X$1.4 Million.
Perry was often a healthy scratch during the NHL playoffs, and wouldn't find his game until later in the playoffs. In only 19 playoff games, scoring 3 points( 1 G, 2 A) and in 38 games with the Edmonton Oilers, scoring 13 points( 8 G, 5 A) with the team during the regular season.
Perry did make a significant contribution to the teams push against the Floridan Panthers in the Finals, as he scored the game-winning-goal in Game 5.
The Oilers were generous enough to give him a modest contract with the $1.4 Million contract, having bonuses attached as an incentive for the veteran forward.
Perry has played in 1,311 games in 19 NHL seasons, scoring 905 points( 429 G, 476 A) and has a Stanley Cup to his name in 2007 with the Anaheim Ducks.
