The Montreal Canadiens have added a veteran piece to their line-up for the 2020-21 season. Habs GM Marc Bergevin has signed a one-year deal with 35-year-old Corey Perry. The salary is $750,000.
With the signing, the Canadiens are slightly over the salary cap of $81.5 million at the moment but can clear space by sending a player or players to the minors once training camp is over.
Perry has played 1045 regular season games throughout his career, netting 377 goals and 797 points. He is, without question, on the back-end of his career but should add depth and leadership on a deal that's just above the NHL minimum of $700,000
Bergevin has had a busy offseason already, adding backup netminder Jake Allen and defenceman Joel Edmundson via trade and signing both to extensions, inking free agent forwards Tyler Toffoli and Micheal Frolik, as well as buying out the contract of blueliner Karl Alzner.
