Let's remember that a few months ago, following the saga with the Chicago Blackhawks, many experts believed Perry had played his last game in the NHL.
But today, a few weeks later, the Edmonton Oilers (one of the best teams in the entire NHL) have just sent him to their top 6 forwards. Wow!
Perry, 38 years old, 6 feet 3 inches and 210 pounds, has accumulated 18 points this season, including 10 goals, despite a long absence following the termination of his contract by the Chicago Blackhawks.
In April 2024, a few weeks before the start of the NHL playoffs, Corey Perry is a top 6 player on one of the league's best teams.
