If you can’t beat them then join them.

That’s exactly what Corey Perry is doing as he has inked a 2-year deal with the Lightning today.

Perry was also a member of the Dallas Stars team that reached the 2020 Stanley Cup Final where they, too, fell to the Lightning.

Perry, 36, signed a one-year $750,000 contract with the Habs last season and tallied nine goals and 12 assists in 49 regular season games.

He was a big part of the Canadiens’ run to their first Final in 28 years, scoring four goals and adding six assists in 22 playoff games.

The 2011 Hart Trophy winner, Perry was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks 28th overall in 2003 and has registered 386 goals and 432 assists in 1,094 career games with the Ducks, Canadiens, and Stars.

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
