NHL insider, Elliotte Friedman, has made an intriguing revelation by stating that Corey Perry, a seasoned forward with a Stanley Cup victory to his name, will be available on the unrestricted free agent market.
This means that any team in the league can potentially offer him a contract. The news has sparked speculation among fans, particularly those of the Edmonton Oilers, who are contemplating whether the team should pursue Perry if he is willing to accept a league minimum contract under $1 million per year.
In this context, the prospect of acquiring Perry on a budget-friendly deal becomes highly enticing. Perry brings a wealth of experience, tenacity, and a winning pedigree that could greatly benefit the Oilers' roster. His ability to contribute both on and off the ice makes him an attractive option for a team seeking to bolster its lineup without breaking the bank.
