NHL Free Agent Frenzy: Which Surprise Moves Could Shake Up the Season?
This isn’t about the impact the veteran forward will have, though it could be substantial. It’s not about the contract, though one-year with a $2 million AAV and up to an additional $2 million in performance bonuses is good for a player who scored 19 goals in the regular season and 10 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I love this because who in their right mind would have ever thought Kings fans would have to root for Perry after all those years of him being such a thorn in their sides as a longtime player for the Anaheim Ducks? It’s juicy. Perry’s teams reach the Stanley Cup Final. They have five of the past six years. Sure, they’ve lost each time, but the Kings need to get past the first round, past the Oilers, who have beaten them four years in a row, the past two with Perry in orange and blue. Perry makes L.A. better. He’ll fuel the intensity in the SoCal rivalry. – Dan Rosen, senior writer
