Breaking News: Big Statement From Corey Perry About his Future and Montreal Canadiens Fans Have a Request
In the last few seconds, during his end-of-season press conference, forward Corey Perry made a statement about his future in the NHL.
Tampa Bay Lightning holds its review today
Perry, who is now without a contract and an unrestricted free agent, said this about his future in the NHL:
In the comments, Tampa Bay Lightning fans are unanimous. They absolutely want their club to re-sign Corey Perry, and it's understandable.
However, they are not the only ones.
Let's remember what Renaud Lavoie revealed recently.
For those who believed that Corey Perry was not sincere in his love for the Montreal Canadiens and their fans, think again.
Perry has not forgotten Montreal.
Renaud Lavoie indeed recently revealed that Perry often asks for news about what is happening within the Canadiens organization, and he stays in touch with the young players in the organization such as Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield.
He closely follows what's happening in Montreal, and the success of this organization truly matters to him, even though he is in Tampa Bay.
In short, we can almost understand that the Canadiens are his favorite NHL team, obviously after the Lightning.
We saw it concretely during the most recent matches between Montreal and Tampa Bay, when Perry went near the Habs' locker room to chat with Suzuki, Caufield, and Martin St-Louis, among others.
Knowing all this, now that the Lightning are eliminated and now that his contract has expired, the question arises.
Will we see Corey Perry back in Montreal? Would you give him a one-season contract, for less than a million dollars?
We have a request. Simply try to bring him back one day, whether as a player or a coach. People like him are precious to us and to our young players.
