Insider drops a bomb regarding Corey Perry
During the Tellement Hockey podcast, Radio-Canada's excellent columnist Martin Leclerc made a statement that has caused a lot of talk in the last few hours about former Montreal Canadiens player Corey Perry.
According to him, Perry was going to become the next captain of the CH. But we know what happened next: he signed two years with Tampa Bay.
"We knew (Shea) Weber was leaving and we (coaches) were saying, 'Give him a two- or three-year contract, keep him to transition and help the young guys grow. He's a valuable asset." In the end, Marc Bergevin wasn't inclined to go for multiple seasons." - Martin Leclerc
"I learned a few days ago that at the Habs, there were discussions. The coaches wanted management to put him under contract for a few seasons and give him the captain's C." - Martin Leclerc
As a transition captain, between Weber and the new generation, let's just say he would have been perfect for the role!
