When Corey Perry signed with the Chicago Blackhawks this season, it was widely expected that his stay would be short. He was brought in to provide the team with much-needed veteran leadership and stability for the young rookies who will be part of the team throughout the year.
As the season progresses, it is also expected that many teams will be contacting General Manager Kyle Davidson to inquire about the kind of package it would take to move Perry from Chicago to bolster their chances of a Stanley Cup run.
According to nhltraderumors.me, there are two frontrunners likely to seek his services. First, an unlikely choice but the most probable would be the Toronto Maple Leafs. Perry has been a constant thorn in their side over the past three playoff series, including matchups against the Montreal Canadiens and two against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
His physical playstyle is well-suited for the playoffs, and he enjoys getting under the skin of opposing teams. It would make sense for the Maple Leafs to explore what it would take to bring him on board as he could provide them with a competitive edge.
The second option is a reunion with the Tampa Bay Lightning. General Manager Julien Brisebois is not shy about making deals, having traded for draft picks and other players to strengthen his lineup for playoff runs in the past. These trades have resulted in two Stanley Cups under his watch. Reuniting with Perry would certainly be a significant addition to his career and offer another shot at a Stanley Cup.
Time will tell which team will ultimately acquire him.
