The Edmonton Oilers are strongly considering the prospect of signing free-agent winger Corey Perry, and it seems to be a top contender. Perry, who is undoubtedly seeking a team with serious Stanley Cup aspirations, could find a perfect fit in Edmonton. The opportunity to play alongside stars like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl is a rare chance, coupled with the Oilers having genuine ambitions of winning the Cup this season.
Various sources, including The Athletic's Dom Luszczyszyn and MoneyPuck, give the Oilers favorable odds of around 11 percent and 5.7 percent, respectively, to win the Stanley Cup. Betway's +1000 odds imply a 9.09 percent chance. With the Oilers boasting a talented roster and an impressive record of winning 17 of their last 20 games, they emerge as a strong candidate to sign Perry, as mentioned by Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli.
Considering Edmonton's cap space, albeit limited, Perry's league minimum ideal of $775,000 could fit within the Oilers' budget, with some flexibility up to $957,833.
The potential signing of Corey Perry brings excitement and anticipation for Oilers fans as they look to strengthen their lineup for a serious Cup run.
