With Perry being on a expiring deal, the most likely outcome is trading him to a contender. There are two teams that make sense for Perry, both are in the Atlantic division.
Perry Linked to the Leafs and Lightning
The two teams that have been linked to Corey Perry are the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Both teams are in need of depth scoring and grit. Both of the assets that Perry brings to any team.
Both teams know all about Perry and his antics during the playoffs when he was a member of the Lightning and Canadiens.
The only complication is cap space for both of these teams, the Blackhawks could retain half but the teams would have find a way to fit him in if they are looking for a veteran agitator.
