Corey Perry officially reveals the main reason why he left Montreal

In an interview with Martin Lemay on BPM Sports, former Montreal Canadiens Corey Perry broke his silence regarding his departure from Montreal.

Why did he leave? Because Julien BriseBois offered him a two-year contract, contrary to Marc Bergevin who offered him one year.

Listen to his statement here:

At 37 years old, it's easy to see why Perry made this decision. Getting a contract at an advanced age, even if you're a Stanley Cup winner and a leader, can be a daunting task in today's hockey.

In 29 games this season, the CH veteran has 13 points, including five goals.
