While it’s not totally unexpected, Corey Perry’s buyout by the only NHL organization the four-time All-Star has ever known is still making waves.
Perry’s contract, which had two seasons at a cap hit of $8.625 million per year remaining, was bought out by the Anaheim Ducks Wednesday, signaling another page being turned as the franchise continues its path to a new direction.
Perry ends his Ducks career after 14 seasons, which started in 2005-06 as a 20-year old with a bright future and ends after a 2018-19 season in which the 34-year old played only 31 games and scored six goals and 10 points, both career-lows.
