Love it, GIVE ME ALL THE GRIT!! I rather him on our team than against!!!!
I think a deep playoff run is in store for the Oilers, with or without Perry's help.
Chicago should get compensation, this is ridiculous.
The Corey Perry curse going to ruin the oilers now
They've won 13 games in a row. Why do you want to mess with anything at this point? Corey Perry would be good sand paper for the playoffs, but until then, why mess up the chemistry the Oilers have right now?
Withiut knowing why the hawks deopped him, not even trade him, I think its hard to know what effect this will have. If i was a player on the team Id demand to know why he was let go by the hawks.
Esa Tikkanen ‘s old #10 would suit him fine.
I don't like how the aquisition came about (termination from Chicago), but it was an appealing option for the Oilers given their lack of cap space.
Perry will be an accretive addition to bolster the 3rd or 4th line, add a playoff-experienced voice in the locker room and some forward toughess.
It will not fundamentally change the team, which is okay.
Given that Perry is RW, I thinkt the Oilers need to move Brown, somehow.
They only signed him to find out what exactly he did in Chicago.
Well, looks like edmontons losing in the cup final this year 😂
good guy, piece of shit on the ice, who else we talking about?
Oilers adding another doosher. Nobody is shocked.
That jeff petry picture is terrifying lol
I don’t know anything about the hockey or off-ice elements. My 2 cents for would be that Edmonton is a good place for a person like Perry. Chicago is a gigantic flashy city. Edmonton is humbling and sobering. I bet Perry will focus and reset. Plus, with the maturity we see in Ekholm, Ryan, McDavid, Hyman, and the example in Kane, the best of Perry can grow
Let’s see 🔥
Oilers confirmed this morning.
Brown goes down. Speed skater with no shot.
Update: He is now officially signed to the Edmonton Oilers
Can’t wait till they play the Blackhawks on the 25th
Its a win win, he brings depth and experience also he's a real competitive guy. He'll do well in Edmonton. You know what your getting with perry he's pretty versatile gives the coach some options.😊
The worm will worm
Will this mean the Oilers will reach the Stanley Cup finals just to fall as is the Corey Perry tradition?
I’m an Avs fan but I think this is a dumb move by Edmonton if it actually goes down. They’re in the midst of their greatest winning streak in franchise history and I just don’t see how bringing in a guy with baggage from earlier this season that led to his release is going to help with that locker room. I could be wrong but some of our fans were floating that idea out on podcasts recently and just have no interest in adding a distraction. No questioning his ability but potentially messing with the chemistry Edmonton has going at the moment is risky. But who the hell really knows. I could be dead wrong and later on down the road, the move looks genius but I’m glad it’s a risk another team is willing to take on.
Do we even need perry? The team is still on a win streak, and he might even ask for a lot
I guess their accountant isn't getting that $25,000 raise now.
Watch your mom Mcdavid ! Juuuuust kidding relax youtube…
I want him, he has experience and has a desire to he can still do it. How many Finals has he been to already? Age is number if you have some fire left like Crosby, Idk whats happening to Ovi tho
So
Zack Kassian
Evander
Edmonton has a knack of turning redemption stories. Now Corey? If this pans out Corey can absolutely a series breaker mentally.
Oilers don't care about a players morals or character, that organization is land of misfits, winning is all that matters. If Perry forces himself on a staff member they will just fire the staff member and hire McDavid's 4th grade teacher to replace her.
One word – X-factor. That montreal team doesn't make that run without Perry. Dude punches up. Fits perfect with Oiler culture right now.
I'm a "if it don't broke don't fix" kinda guy but I'm also curious what Corey can do for the oilers
So Edmonton finally gets their act together, and suddenly decide to bring in a guy that was waived by his last team? I wish Perry well, but I can't believe Edmonton risked their team chemistry in this way.
Unless he tells the truth about what happened in Chicago, I wouldn’t bite. He needs to be transparent and the then the GM has to make a decision because the truth will leak.
If Perry helps the Oilers win a cup, he can have my mom.
I already know perry is gonna get a penalty in the playoffs and make the oilers lose a game
Update: #90 is what he'll wear
Would have loved to see him on the Jets.
Put him with mcdavid , potentially the patrick maroon 2.0! 30 goals
Perry’s a stud and the Oilers would be lucky to get him. The only issue I see is that the oilers are hot right now. Would throwing a new player in affect the chemistry?
