Despicable that the league covers up for what he did and that type of behavior has no bearing on another contract.

This guy’s reputation will go unscathed. NHL and hockey culture needs fixing.

Lol you gotta love it. Is Perry going to push these guys over the top? He was on a 50pt pace with first line minutes. All he's going to do is take minutes/points away from someone else on the roster who probably brings more defensively.

Anything that doesn't provide defence/goaltending and burns cap is good in my books.

Surprising how many of those type of players are on winning teams. Wish we had at least one.

Then once the league announced all the players involved in the 2018 World Juniors incident they will trade for them too.

Chicago couldn't afford yet another PR disaster. They got somewhat ahead of it and it still snowballed into something it wasn't due to social media.

I hold no sympathy for the Blackhawks organization, but the only thing they did wrong with that incident, was allow that Bedard rumor to fester by not saying anything sooner.

Who's the next signing? Theo Fleury as their energy healer?

No matter what you think of any of them, in their day that Getzlaf-Perry-Ryan line was something to watch! I would have happily taken any of them on the Flames.

We don't know what happened, I guess, with Perry but it must have been pretty bad. Just not bad enough I suppose.

I'm afraid this could be a good signing for the Greasers but in the end, I think it's irrelevant. Their goaltending and defence don't have what it takes to go far. I think they'll get eaten alive in playoff hockey. I sure hope so, anyway.

Its a smart signing for them. Could be a positive impact in the playoffs. Definitely worth a shot for what they want to do.

He was definitely a game breaker in his day. I doubt he'll make much difference now on any team though. He'll soon be 39 and hasn't played in months. Pretty sure he's expired now, let alone passed his best before date.

As if I needed another reason to hate the Oilers and Corey Perry.

They did, but he wanted to go to the practice rink in flip-flops.
