In a recent press conference, Corey Perry shed light on the circumstances that led him to choose Edmonton as his destination after an abrupt termination from the Chicago Blackhawks.

Perry's journey this season has been a roller coaster of unexpected twists, with his sudden departure from Chicago raising questions about his future in the NHL. Following a meeting between Perry, Gary Bettman, and NHL officials, it was determined that he could make a return within the current season. This decision sparked interest from multiple teams, and Perry ultimately opted to sign with the Edmonton Oilers.

The terms of Perry's deal include the league minimum, supplemented by several performance bonuses. Anticipated to join the Oilers' lineup on Saturday, Perry expressed a lighthearted reason for choosing Edmonton during the press conference, citing his family's fondness for following Connor McDavid and the Oilers.
