Corey Perry in Montreal: here is the asking price
Corey Perry left a great impression in Montreal during his time in 2020-21. Not only was he always involved, but he was also a great mentor to youngsters like Cole Caufield and Jake Evans, to name a few.
Now that his two-season contract is up with the Lightning, Perry has said loud and clear that he still has some good hockey left to give.
A return to Montreal is desired by the fans, and with good reason. The renowned Frank Seravalli added fuel to the fire with a publication that confirms that the price to sign him in Montreal would be ridiculous.

Indeed, the salary Perry would be asking for is $850,000 per year for a one-year term. Personally, I would have no problem seeing him sign for two years at that salary, even if he had to spend half the games on the press box.
