Does that mean we’re heading back to the SC finals?

Did not see this one coming. I think this is a solid depth add though as long as it’s pretty cheap. Does a ton of the little things well and should give the team a kick in the ass. Hopefully this doesn’t doom us to lose in the Final

Sure, why not

I dont hate it but also huh??

What the fuck is this

Oof, for a second round pick. There better be retention
Edit: 2028 2nd round pick, LA retained half. Great trade imo, seems like another move is clearly in the works.

Lmao bro his curse is crazy and for a 2nd round pick??
I don’t hate that Perry is back, but man I wish we used that 2nd for a different option
mychildeatsforks
what??? DId not see this coming.

At least we’ll make it to the finals

Ride him to the cup then trade him to the other team?

Commit to the bit I guess JBB just gonna get all our old guys back
Motor_Syllabub3974
I wonder how this works with his performance bonuses. Does LA already pay for his $1.5M he’s already owed from playing 50 games and we’re only on the hook for $500K if we get to the finals? I hope it works like that are we will lose $2M next year to play those out
DevilRaysDaddy
Oh so we aren’t serious about winning, got it

For a second? Dawg what is JBB doing? Hopefully retention cause then that means another move might be coming
BucsBroo
The move I expected, a garbage nothing burger
Edit: a second round pick?! Lmfao

This seems like a stupid fucking move

this season he is 11-17-28 with -1 in 50 games. thats a path to 16-25-41. for a 4th liner it’s pretty good numbers

He does fill a needed gap. We need more physical presence in front of opposing goalies.

List of Lightning 2nd round picks in recent history:
The reality is a 2nd rounder maybe gets you ~100 games of replacement level NHLer on average. This is not an overpay.

Perry curse

Bjorkstrand better be gone by 3pm

This is a great move, people always sleep on how much of a stud Perry is. Even though he has the crazy curse going on he always performs well in the postseason. Was a very impactful player in Edmontons postseason run last year. Great depth piece

Saint Perry!

To be fair we were kinda low on our Rat quota on this team, and he scrapps better than Douglas did
InkedInspector
Honestly, I don’t hate it. There’s not a long term commitment, Perry is a sly fox of an old vet, he will be a solid locker room guy.

well he hasnt completed the scenario of returning to a PO team where he once lost a cup with ? Maybe thats the secret unlock key ? curse to legend? right??

Dude these comments are legit embarrassing.
Let’s cry about a guy who scored 10 goals in the playoffs last year getting added for a draft pick
Probably the same assholes who thought we were going to trade for Robert Thomas

Scorey Perry
weirdakitted-edc
Y’all. Perry is entirely purpose built to instigate and put us on power plays. He has a punchable face that makes other teams irrationally angry.
Remember. The first team to tilt is the team that loses.
Salty_Recording_7007
I’m surprised people are so upset. Seems like he’ll fit in perfectly on the PP which we need. And who cares if he’s old, it’s a one year rental anyway and he’s still producing.

Maybe some of you need to see recent trades. It seems like an overpay, but guys like Cole smith and mccarron went for the same price.

Welcome home!
Welp we are losing in the finals /s
Literally the biggest curveball. Did we also forget that the Perry curse still lives on
We know how this ends, sigh
I like it, he is slow but can provide a grit and block the view
