The Montreal Canadiens fans will have a special place in their heart, for Perry putting in the work to help the team reach the Stanley Cup finals in 2021.
Perry's time in Montreal was spent mentoring players like Nick Suzuki and Cole Caulfield, leaving a mark on the organization.
He is still in contact with the forwards regularly.
As his situation continues to devolve in Edmonton, we keep an eye on his utilization lately, which has been: riding the pine.
But that could change soon.
Mark Spector's Update On Corey Perry
As reported by Spector, the journalist predicts that eventually Perry will find his way into the lineup against his former team, the Dallas Stars:
«I turn to this. McLeod, Ryan OUT, Henrique, Perry IN. That would therefore make a third trio composed of Henrique, with Foegele and Perry. » - Mark Spector
Could Perry's fortune change soon, as he is slotted back into the lineup?
Perry, 39, is a consistent playoff performer until recently, has scored 22 points in 54 games with the Edmonton Oilers.
His current contract is a 1-year $775K AAV deal and is set to expire at the end of the season.
