NHL Rumors: What Corey Perry’s Blackhawks deal means for Chicago

Corey Perry signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Chicago Blackhawks.

The team acquired his negotiation rights by trading a 2024 seventh-round pick to the Tampa Bay Lightning during the 2023 NHL draft.

Perry, 38, has played in the NHL for 18 years, most notably with the Anaheim Ducks, where he won the Stanley Cup in 2007. He also has earned two All-Star nods, one Hart Trophy and one Richard Trophy.

Perry’s signing is hoped to benefit the team’s predominantly youthful roster that just added first-overall pick and generational talent, Connor Bedard.

Perry will reunite with head coach Luke Richardson, who previously worked with him during his time with the Montreal Canadiens. Last season, Perry recorded 25 points in 81 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
