Corey Perry Faces Dwindling Interest As Western Contender Withdraws From Sweepstakes

In recent days NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced that Corey Perry would be allowed to sign with a new team after meeting with him. Since being given the green light NHL teams have been in discussion with Perry while digging into the incident that led to him being released.

With several teams being interested also comes a host of teams who are not. One team has apparently done their due diligence and is not interested in pursuing Corey Perry according to another report from a team insider.

A new sound bite has come out from Vancouver Canucks reporter Rick Dhaliwal has provided some insight that has confirmed the Canucks are not interested in Perry.

The Canucks have been one of the better teams in the NHL this season. Even with this in mind, the Canucks could use a big boost to their depth up front. With the struggles of Andrei Kuzmenko, the team has needed scoring to increase.

The Canucks for now are out of the Perry sweepstakes however if this process drags out and the Canucks go into a slump things could always change.
