As reported by the excellent Marc-Olivier Cook of DansLesCoulisses, Perry has made a major gesture towards the Habs.
Yes, we absolutely consider it as major, and it's extremely rare to see a player do this for a former organization.
According to TVA Sports insider Renaud Lavoie, Perry often asks for updates on what's happening within the Habs organization.
He closely follows what's happening in Montreal, and the success of this organization is truly important to him. Wow! A true fan!
In essence, we practically understand that the Habs are his favorite NHL team, after of course, the Lightning.
According to several sources, Corey Perry was also the best player on the ice last night in game 1 of the first-round series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay.
He remains a highly respected player in the Canadiens' locker room and among the management.
We saw this concretely in the recent games between Montreal and Tampa Bay, as Perry went near the Habs' locker room to chat with Nick Suzuki, Martin St. Louis, and Cole Caufield, among others.
Will we see Perry back in Montreal someday, whether as a player, advisor, or staff member? To be continued, but we can definitely speculate.
