Corey Perry to Kings (1yr)

I'm boycotting the team next season.

Sorry, but I don't know what the flying F Luc is/has been doing here this past decade. Honestly, ever since the cup hangover this organization has been a boy's club for Luc's retirement lap. It was one thing to sign his old playing buddy in Blake, but replacing him with Ken Holland and then giving the green light for this signing? You can't even argue this makes the team better - we lost Spence and Gavrikov for this? And that's just this year's post-season moves. Say what you will about emotions but signing one of the league's most disliked goons, a player this organization has almost exclusively hated on for years, and at the tail end of his career... Make me eat crow and win the whole damn thing for all I care, I ain't supporting this.

Holland showing us that the team was better off with hiring Mathieu Darche. Horrible signing. Looks like a continuation of the Rob Blake ineptitude. Hopefully, this leads to housecleaning of Robitaille, Holland & Hillier.

Rob would never go dumpster diving like this. He'd probably half-@ss the win-now further but that would at least come with less long-term damage...this team is now full of quite very old vets and I fail to see space for young players to get ice time.

Which youngsters deserve the ice time? Turcotte? Thomas?

I won’t climb up on my soap box here, but there is a theme on what Holland did today, and he’ll likely say that in his next media availability.

He's going to say he wasted a ton of money signing old mediocre players so that the Kings can hope to lose in the first round to the Oilers for a 5th straight time?
 
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.
 
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
 
I have never liked Perry, but I respect him. The guy is a gamer who has re-invented himself to extend his career and now has worked his was to what - a $4m contract at age 40? I mean crap, he's clearly doing something right. I'm not thrilled on his age, at this point, but otherwise he is a very good 4th liner which this team can use.

That said, I never wanted to see him in a Kings uniform and the only solace is hopefully he does not have a NMC on his contract which will allow us to flip him to a contender at the trade deadline if desired.

Let's be honest...the Kings are not contenders at this point and I sense the roster will get older by the time the season begins. There is also a good chance the Org gets even more desperate and pulls the trigger on a really lopsided trade (I say Org as Luc/Bergevin already know the player they want and Holland is tasked with getting it done).

4th liner that can fill in on the top 6, play a few minutes in the power play as needed, go to the net and cause havoc, be a complete thorn in people’s side. What’s not to like?
