Corey Perry, after a challenging season that led to a contract termination in Chicago, has chosen to join the Edmonton Oilers despite offers from the Rangers, Wild, and Lightning.

The Oilers and the 38-year-old forward agreed to a one-year contract with an average annual value of $775,000, along with performance bonuses.

Perry, a veteran with an impressive NHL career, explained his decision to sign with the Oilers in a recent interview. He mentioned that his 6-year-old kid is a fan of Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers, influencing his choice.
