Corey Perry was a significant offensive asset and a leader for the Chicago Blackhawks. Unfortunately, things took a wrong turn, and he is no longer with the team.
Replacing the player will be challenging, as will replacing the leader. Perry served as an alternate captain for a team without a captain, and based on comments from other players, he was the one to follow.
At 28 years old, the former 29th overall pick in 2013 is having a solid season, particularly with his 14 points and a +3 rating, which is impressive considering the team is in a rebuilding phase.
