Corey Perry finished last season in Edmonton.
He wasn’t able to win the Stanley Cup with the Oilers, but he played an important role within the organization.
After all, we are talking about a true leader who is able to bring his teammates together in important moments.
Even though he’s 39, we knew Perry wasn’t interested in the idea of retiring.
And now we learn that he will be back in Edmonton.
The veteran signed a one-year contract, valued at $1.4 million:
The signing makes sense for the Oilers.
After all, the club should still have a chance to go all the way next season (if Draisaitl doesn’t leave this summer), and they’ll need a veteran like Perry to bring stability to the locker room.
Because Corey Perry’s job is not to produce offensively.
He is still capable of scoring goals once in a while… But we are not talking about the same player who won the Hart Trophy AND the Maurice Richard Trophy in the 2010-2011 season.
He has a new role and the good thing is that he understands it and he fulfills it wonderfully.
Here’s hoping for the Oilers that “Perry’s bad luck” doesn’t affect the club next season, because Perry has been to four finals in five years and never won.
Is he able to turn the wind sideways?
