Corey Perry Receives Unexpected Promotion With New Team
In a bold move, Oilers coach Knoblauch has promoted Corey Perry to the second line alongside Leon Draisaitl and Evander Kane.
This decision highlights the team's confidence in the veteran forward's abilities, aiming to tap into his offensive skills that has yet to be shown since arriving in Edmonton.
Perry's net-front presence, similar to Zach Hyman, could be a valuable asset alongside Draisaitl. This move also suggests that the Oilers are exploring internal options before the trade deadline.
Despite not yet registering a point with the team, Perry's seamless integration and potential offer promising prospects for the Oilers as they head towards the playoffs.
