Corey Perry to Kings (1yr)

Hey Corey, sorry for calling you a rat faced piece of s#!t all those years.

No, it’s really a good signing, no matter how much we hate him. We saw what he did in the playoffs. We need that. Remember the guys you hate most on other teams are the guys you like most on yours.
 
This is absolutely awful! We now have Katie Perry? And Gavrikov, Jeannot, Spence, and probably Rittich will all be gone. The other acquisitions are not good replacements. Worst front office management once again.
 
Really shaking up to be a fantastic off season. And I mean that with the heaviest grain of sarcasm I can manage. Now we can not win a cup with a rat on the team. He won't lose in the finals next year.

BLEEP.

THAT.

GUY.
 
This has me questioning my fandom for this team. I hate this gm more than the previous one, the roster sucks as does signing perry. Even getting tired of the laundry.
Losing my religion
 
I usually don't post here very often during the off-season...but Corey Perry is a Los Angeles King? WTF?

The world is spinning in the wrong direction. There's no other way to explain it. And what a weird start to the Los Angeles sports year...2025 has been beyond bizarre...

...my LA Rams were the hottest team in the NFL...they end up playing in a snow storm/blizzard in the 2nd round of the playoffs, against the eventual NFL champs, and lose on the last play...

...my Kings beat the Oilers twice in LA to start the 1st round of the NHL playoffs, scoring six goals in both games...and have leads on the road in the next two games...yet somehow manage to lose the series.

Ouch. That's a rough three months.

And it was bad enough I had to root for Tkachuk and La Rata in the finals...now I have to root for Corey freakin' Perry this season? I'm beginning to feel like I live in some sort of alternate reality or parallel universe.

It's hard being a sports fan in LA of late.

But...Corey Perry? Seriously? I can't wait to see what happens next:

"LA Kings trade Adrian Kempe and Kevin Fiala for Darnell Nurse and Evander Kane!"

Nothing can surprise me anymore...
 
He's exactly what was needed, we haven't had a true dick on this team in ages and he's a proven winner. Could do wonders for a guy like Helenius. Although yes we've lost to essentially McDavid and Draisaitl IMO we've also lost because the last 4 years we've been bullied and Perry won't let that happen without at least some blowback.

That's assuming his play doesn't fall off a clip, which at his age, is a distinct possibility.

Ahahahahahhhahahah!!!!!!

Wow! This front office clearly cannot read the room. They are so disconnected from the fan base.

Insult to injury he’s just going to collect a paycheck too.

….and we have sunk to a new low

"Disconnected from the fan base"? Really? The average hockey fan in Southern California barely knows who he is. The average hockey fan in Southern California is not a knowledgeable hockey fan. I wish it was otherwise . . . but it is not.

Florida leads the team in aholes(Tkachuk,Bennett,Marchand)and I can't remember when the last time the Kings had a true agitator who could contribute. Even if his goal scoring dips a bit he's not really on the team to score, he's there to agitate and for once we have a player who will start the scrums and he's very smart about it.
