This is exactly what happens when a lot of accredited, traditional media people lose their jobs in their respective fields. We already know without a doubt that TSN and Rogers will not present anything of substance because they are rights holders either through radio or TV, or at least were in TSN's case.
What we have in sports now that teams are controlling more and more of their content is a lot of BS being fed to their fan bases, and this goes for ALL teams in all aspects of hockey. Every team with the best coaches, managers, prospects, leadership and more.
That being said, and I hate to say this, Perry might work out well for Edmonton. If his issues were alcohol related or he had alcohol problems and he has been able to get that looked after, he may be primed to contribute a lot as a healthy player.
Edmonton has shown they can bring in problem players or players with a past and turn them into team friendly contracts and productive players. Perry, Kane and Kassian just to name a few.
