Insider Elliotte Friedman revealed today that teams pursuing Corey Perry could face a major hiccup in securing his services.

Loud Market Teams Pursuing Corey Perry Could Face Challenges

In a recent update on Corey Perry's potential return to the NHL, insider Elliotte Friedman suggested that Perry may prefer to sign with a quieter or less "loud" team rather than a big market one.

Friedman (TJMS): "I just think one of the questions, is Perry going to want somewhere quieter? TOR is a loud market, I don't think that's going to work. EDM's a louder market, though I definitely believe they have interest. Are there going to be some teams in quieter situations?"

Teams like Toronto and Edmonton, despite expressing interest, could face challenges convincing Perry to join them due to their market intensity.

The 38-year-old forward, terminated from the Chicago Blackhawks, showcased his effectiveness before the contract termination and remains a valuable player for contending teams.

Perry's strong performance with the Blackhawks makes him an attractive option for teams looking to bolster their roster without sacrificing future assets, especially as the trade deadline approaches. However, Perry needs to sign before the deadline to be eligible for the playoffs.

The Florida Panthers, with a quieter market, might be a favorable option for Perry in this context.
