Friedman Links The Edmonton Oilers and Corey Perry in Latest Rumor

Elliotte Friedman has just revealed that the Edmonton Oilers are pursuing Corey Perry and are getting close to a deal in the latest rumour on his free agency.

Elliotte Friedman Reveals Perry and Oilers Could Be Making a Deal

Since Corey Perry has been given the green light to play in the NHL this season, he has been the topic of discussion for free agency signing. It was immediately rumoured that he and the Toronto Maple Leafs were looking at a potential deal, but it looks like another Canadian team might have their eyes on the veteran.

Elliotte Friedman, on the Jeff Marek show, revealed that he thinks Perry and the Edmonton Oilers would be a good fit, and that he thinks they could be a team that is interested in signing him.




The Oilers could use Perry's veteran ability and depth for a late push in the playoffs. However, it remains to be seen whether or not Perry is interested.

Perry Already Linked to the Leafs

Perry was previously linked to the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier this week, as several members of the media speculated that there would be mutual interest between him and the Leafs.


However, the biggest question for any team is whether they want the baggage that comes with signing Perry. There haven't been many details about the incident revealed, and if Perry does sign, there will be a flurry of questions about the incident until something is revealed.

The deadline for Perry to sign with a team is March 8th, so we will see what happens.
