Oilers bring back Perry on 1-year, $1.4M deal

The Edmonton Oilers brought back veteran forward Corey Perry on a one-year, $1.4-million deal, the team announced Monday.

Perry's pact is worth $1.15 million plus an additional $250,000 in bonuses, according to TSN's Ryan Rishaug.

Edmonton signed Perry for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign in January after the Chicago Blackhawks terminated his one-year, $4-million deal two months prior.

The 39-year-old went on to score eight goals and 13 points in 38 regular-season games as a member of the Oilers. He added three points in 19 playoff games during Edmonton's run to the Stanley Cup Final.

Perry has appeared in four of the last five finals, all with different teams: the Dallas Stars in 2020, Montreal Canadiens in 2021, Tampa Bay Lightning in 2022, and Oilers this spring.

Perry has amassed 429 tallies and 905 points in 1,311 career NHL games. Drafted 28th overall by the Anaheim Ducks in 2003, he won the Stanley Cup with the club in 2007.

The Peterborough native won the Hart Trophy and Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy in 2011 after potting 50 goals and 98 points in 82 games.
