If so, good job. Turns out Vancouver wanted him a little more than they were letting on.

In some ways Corey Perry allowed this trade to happen.
Feels like Canucks were likely offering the 3rd + Beauvillier, but Flames didn't want to take cap back.
Corey Perry gets drunk and does something stupid, which allows Chicago to terminate his contract, which opens up a roster spot and $4M in cap space for them to take on Beauvillier.
The Canucks then no longer need to shed cap as part of a Zadorov deal, and can move the 3rd and 5th for Zadorov.
Corey Perry getting drunk set the wheels for the trade in motion.
