COREY PERRY PICKED UP BY CHICAGO
The Chicago Blackhawks acquired winger Corey Perry from the Tampa Bay Lightning for a seventh-round draft pick in 2024.
What does it give the Chicago Blackhawks
The Blackhawks are acquiring Perry's rights here, with the hope of being able to re-sign him before he hits the unrestricted free agent market. He is a valuable veteran for a rebuilding franchise, but is that what he wants at this time?
What does it give the Tampa Bay Lightning
The Lightning want to get faster on the fourth line moving forward, so they were not expected to bring Perry back anyway. Tampa Bay was able to secure a last-round draft pick in next year's draft in exchange for his services.
Fantasy impact
Perry's fantasy value may not be enough to make him a viable draft pick in 2023, even if he decides to play for the Blackhawks in '23-24.
