Although veteran player Corey Perry had said he wanted to keep playing with the Montreal Canadiens, it was announced earlier today that he signed a two-year $1 million AAV deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The 36-year-old wanted a two-year contract, and from the looks of it, the Canadiens weren’t willing to give that to him.
