Edmonton Oilers reporter Jim Matheson sheds light on the team's attention to Perry, who faced contract termination for workplace conduct issues in Chicago.
Despite the controversy, Perry's strong performance at the beginning of the season, with four goals and nine points in 16 games, has piqued the Oilers' interest.
Known for considering players with off-ice challenges, as demonstrated by the successful signing of Evander Kane, Ken Holland is exploring the potential addition of Perry to the roster. However, any decision hinges on Perry completing substance abuse treatment and the resolution of the investigation into his contract termination.
The Oilers are intrigued by Perry's extensive NHL experience, playoff success, and leadership qualities. While other teams reportedly share interest in resurrecting Perry's career, the Oilers are cautiously evaluating the situation.
The outcome of the investigation and Perry's commitment to addressing off-ice concerns will be critical factors in determining the feasibility of this potential move for the team. As the Oilers navigate this decision-making process, they are well aware of the multifaceted considerations involved in bringing Corey Perry on board.
